I did this a couple of times... I was a blind fan back then lol but granted it's not really because they had a bad matchup or anything heck the matches afaik could've gone either way with how strong both teams were most of the time, so in those cases, I simply went for my favorite team.

In cases where they performed underwhelming and were against a pretty well-performing team, I'd mostly still go for them. In this context underperforming in that specific tournament, not in every tournament in general. If that happened, I'd stay away from stake on them until they get their stuff back together. Doesn't matter that I like them, I like them in the first place cause they were good anyway.
