Can you imagine the number for SC2 streams if Blizzard pasted it on the client launcher/website as much as Riot does with their LoL tournaments? :O

Which raises the question, why doesn't Blizzard do this?

Idra admits to throwing games on purpose:

Is this acceptable? Should tournaments have rules against this?

There have been instances in FPS games for example where both teams are trying to lose the game, resulting in ridiculous situations...surely we want to avoid that?

It's up to the organiser to fix it in my opinion. It's happened in the world cup before, both teams needed a draw to get through, so they just passed the ball around for 90 minutes.

Not really a huge deal in my opinion. The NASL features hundreds of games, so 3 or 4 sets being thrown isn't that noticable. On top of that it's a free stream so I don't think fans are too entitled to complain that 4 of the 200+ games aren't competitive. It's not like a soccer game where fans purchase expensive tickets to watch a single game and support their team, and the team intentionaly throws the game.

It would be nice if the NASL was designed in a way that wouldn't make throwing games beneficial but again, it's not a big deal. Idra losing a series on purpose is definitely not something to create a shitstorm over.
