Don't worry, I've yelled at the casters and myself.

MunchInvite players already get free premium, if they didn't have to pay fees then ESEA would be losing even MORE money on TF2.
We don't get "free premium". It's just included in the overall league cost. We paid $40 for our league fee while you pay like $12. It ends up being the same just about.

If anyone is looking for the most relatable event in esports, this is probably it.

The match had no drastic affect on the standings (both were out of the tournament), it was a match that many people wanted to see (the guys had a rivalry) and one side throw the match while the other prepared for the match and wanted to show the people a good show.
Of course it isn't exactly the same but there are parallels that can be drawn. The fact is that if a match doesn't affect standings, the opponent and the viewers are not expecting anything from you, than most people really don't care. No one is going to make 15 threads about the match Plat went huntsman in a game vs. AG that wasn't "properly" streamed, didn't change the lan race, didn't have high expectations from viewers, didn't affect anything and ended with both teams laughing in mumble afterwards. Once one of the factors comes into play, people and teams really need to question what they should do next.
FT don't owe me anything, I don't pay them and they didn't promise me anything. However when all that excitement immediately turns into disappointment, it sucks (like a shitty end to a great television series). It is weird saying this but if teams worry about public perception take a note from starcraft and know how to throw games. Half-ass it, put on a facade and give the viewers a 5-3 game as we probably won't notice that your not trying your best if the casters are good.
Do some kinda wonky build (move around Seagull/Seanbud and give him a DH) and try (IE AG v. CC, 5-2 with all mains but a FaN here and a quick-fix there). Seagull has shown to be a good scout earlier this season and Seanbud has a sick DH, there might be rumblings of throwing but nothing close to what happened.
Get it over quickly, do a risky strategy that will either win or lose you the game. A lot of kritz, pushes and playing overly-agressive, give the casters SOMETHING to hype and yell about and the viewers may ignore the fact it was a 5-1 15 minute game.
