What you described is not collusion or teaming. It's called strategy. The solos would be foolish if they engaged each other when the third team is present and a full three man.
I think there needs to be a distinction between "trucing" and "teaming."
Trucing: using non-verbal communication in game to prevent an exchange of gunfire, possibly to form a temporary alliance and work against other teams.
Teaming: Coordinating queue times and being in voice comms together to coordinate meeting in a part of the map and deliberately avoid firing on each other, with the express intent of:
The former sucks, but I don't know that it borders on ban-worthy. The latter though, absolutely is ban-worthy.
I'm not talking about either one. If you're a solo in top three with another solo and a full team present in the same area, your only hope to succeed and have a chance of winning is to not engage and then third party when the other solo and the full team engage. The way I read the original post, that is what I envision having happened. I could also imagine it looking to the full team like there was collusion, when there was none. Nobody was described as crouch spamming at each other or whatever to try to make some deal.
