2. Streams on Twitch can be tracked by their number of viewers. To make the front page by default, it takes about 10,000 viewers. Think we can make it happen?

Hype levels are reaching critical levels...
Realistically, kickoff isn't the best time to introduce a large crowd of spectators. With no gameplay to watch and little understanding of what you're dropping in on most people would tune out pretty quickly and be turned off.

It would still be exposure which is nice, but a live competition with commentary/video playback is likely much better for creating new fans of FRC.
