There's no motivation for any one player to throw a game unless he's already eliminated. Clearly this is not the case here. | ||

Poor choice, thought that he was done once he failed the attack. Game two was a whatever, all yours Alicia. I agree with this. Still makes them look fishy though. | ||

That's significantly different yes it is, what crank did is disrespectful to the viewers. forfeiting a match is completely acceptable because its the players tourney life thats on the line, he has the right to make that call. | ||

It isn't match fixing. Match fixing requires there to be a match to fix the result. Catz quit the tournament. Yes in theory it creates the same end, it isn't the same thing | ||

There's no motivation for any one player to throw a game unless he's already eliminated. Clearly this is not the case here. Crank is team captain and some people have commented on how Crank has been spending a lot of his time managing axiom (I have no idea if they actually know what they are talking about). If they believe that Alicia is the better player, has more need of tournament experience and has greater potential in the longer term, then it makes sense. EDIT: Actually the Catz/Kane situation proves that one may want a player to advance over a playing captain, as it was confirmed that this was exactly what happened then. Personally I don't believe either action should be accepted, but basically attempting to deceive the tournament and viewers is in my opinion much worse than straight up forfeiting. | ||

All three players are P. It's not even a match-up thing. There no advantage gained by throwing the match. | ||
