@narwhal you never did tell us if students talked to you about the stream!
I thought I did post, must have gotten lost in the pages somewhere.
As it turns out, only two of my students watched, and they thought I was done after swapcraft, so they only saw my first match. That's fine by me, and it was enough that they came up and asked "Why am I terran?" For the rest of my gaming club, I told them how to look up the VODs and showed them the swapcraft match during lunch, but I'll be surprised if they watch the rest. They already know I'm a bigger nerd than they will ever be, so it's not like I have to prove that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to nerdery. However, I do want them to see some of the cool things that are happening in the gaming world that probably miss their radars.
(this reminds me, I want to set up a magic card draft with the club at some point during the year. We should probably do that after they've finished their D&D campaign...)
Also no one answered MY question about whether SotG archives their shows anywhere. I'd be interested in watching what they did last night.

Just to throw all the co-incidence off the whack, I live in Swansea, which must be a good 200 miles away from you lot It started hailing on three seperate occasions today.
Actually Griswold, you see teams show up for the field, but they remove all their star players to prevent injuries, thus effectively throwing the game before it begins and denying the spectators the chance to see those players, even after they paid hundreds of dollars for tickets. They might "go through the motions", but everyone knows they've lost before they take the field. Even more, winning teams do it as well as losing teams, as they have to be concerned about the playoffs. The colts notoriously did this when they had a 13-0 season in order to rest Peyton Manning, instead of going for a perfect season. Remember, Naniwa actually did show up and take his seat and click buttons, he just chose to throw the game away in a slightly different way than another player might have done it.
effectively throwing the game is not the same as laying down and handing the other team the ball.
also sc2 doesn't have the same possibility of injury that football does
