I didn't see the games, but I would suspect that Crank was the one whose heart wasn't 100% in it and gave up more easily (than he normally would), rather than both of them colluding beforehand for Crank to let Alicia win.

Make it a 2-1 at least next time, it's always nice to watch a little bit of early game micro.

You can tell that Crank intentionally threw the game. No progamer would leave after killing so many probes in a 1 base pvp game.

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. Genna is the one who originally said this

Crank vs Alicia PvP Crank GGs slightly pre-mature in Game 1, 3Gate vs 3 Gate.
Game 2...Crank kills like 9 probes with 3 gate pressure. Lost 2 pylons in Alicia's base but could have easily transitioned to a macro game. GG's after his pylon is about to die with even armies. Despite being way ahead.

u r a bad bot, shame on u

There is a benefit to trow that game
Crank might have thought that Alicia has more chance to win against Jim (which is likely, but noneless fixing match)

Can we have Jim vs Jim instead of Jim vs Alicia?
|
Forfeiting a game should just be allowed I think. I don't think Crank did this completely on purpose but it did seem like an issue of rather having his teammate advance than himself.

Unrelated, but what was the game back in the days where a zerg and a terran tried the damnest to lose to each other? It was almost 2 years ago and I believe it was a European tournament. They did not like the chance to face whoever they will meet in the next round if they would win or something, was the speculation.
Edit: I think it was played on Terminus RE.
