Also there's no way Rogue or Maru would deny sOs a blizzcon spot right? I really think this comes down to soO vs sOs for it. | ||

What you suggest is basically match-fixing, the ultimate crime in sports. | ||

Bunny magically wins both of his TvZ matchups so that Classic can make it to grand finals without playing a PvZ. After which he will lose to Maru/Rogue or defeat Stats. Long shot I know, but im sticking to it. | ||

It's matchfixing regardless of whether you're playing poorly to help a teammate or to get an easier playoff opponent or any other reason. It's definitely against the rules. That being said the community doesn't consider this form of matchfixing that harshly, it's hard to prove, and people haven't ever been punished even in cases where it's blatantly obvious (Stork for example threw like 4 tiebreak games at WCG to try to avoid another Korean in the playoffs). | ||

Is match fixing when Maru swaps people around so his team mates have easier groups(or at least think so )? It all comes down what the team strategy is and how the rest of the games happens. But in the end - it's inside the team. Unless somebody from the team would talk nobody will know. Look at Life, nobody knew he was match fixing ;-) | ||

Choosing to do an inferior build isn't matchfixing. Usually they'll still try to win the game, they're just less likely to. Some players have said they value entertaining over winning and do this often. And in round robin groups once players are already guaranteed to win the group, they'll sometimes do stupid builds. It's not fixing unless they intentionally arrange to lose the game. And even if they did it's impossible to prove usually. | ||

It's also intentionally losing the game to obtain money or some sort of return. I think you can intentionally lose and proving that by itself is not enough | ||

I also feel that Maru is the main threat with and best user of said proxy playstyle, and that's why I predict Classic to go down to Maru if he faces him in the finals. TY is no slouch though, and if he has adopted Proxy as his bread and butter go-to for every game now, you may be right. | ||
