I know there's been a bit of discussion about the pros and cons of streaming kickoff on Twitch this year. But I have a couple of questions.

1. Twitch is always highlighting community members/events on their front page. To my knowledge, no FRC event has ever made the front page. Does anyone know if Twitch plans on highlighting Kickoff? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity to introduce a huge audience to FIRST?


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...
I'm pretty sure that Einsteins made front page of Twitch during 2016 CMP, but I might be wrong. EDIT: Down below, Francis of RSN confirms what I thought I remembered.

In response to your second question, front-page streams can be manually pinned by Twitch Staff should they deem the cause good enough. One example in recent memory was Zeldathon on SuperMCGamer's page, holding front-page admist 10k+ streams with 4-7k viewers, as they were fundraising for St. Jude.

It's entirely possible FRC hits critical mass and gets to front-page, but we'll need some significant polish or a blessing from our OhMyDog overlords. Here's hoping that Twitch has FRC alum. (They do, see below for confirmation.)
