Survival MMO Rust has been seen a lot more on Twitch in the last 3 days than it has been in the past. It tops the trend list by a huge margin and is currently the biggest game on the platform. The reason is a $100,000 esports event with content creators like Disguised Toast, xQc and German Dhalucard.

What’s going on at Rust now? Rust is by far the fastest growing game in Twitch’s trend chart right now. In the last 3 days the watch time has increased by over 2.3 million hours.

As a result, Rust has re-entered the top 10 most watched games on Twitch, at 9th place. It even surpassed World of Warcraft, which is only 14th.

On Wednesday night, no game on Twitch is bigger than Rust.

Expect Rust to grow even bigger over the next few days as Rust mania is just beginning.

Today, at around 7:40 p.m. German time, Rust is once again the biggest game on Twitch and has even clearly overtaken LoL and Dota 2.

  • The event is to extend over 5 days
  • The rush hour of each day is from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. – there is a broadcast

    Who is taking part in the tournament? Twitch was able to attract some big streamers for the event:

    Twitch’s supreme villain, xQc, runs his own team and includes Trainwreckstv, one of the biggest gambling streamers on Twitch, along with Summitg, one of Twitch’s veterans.

    Strategy expert DisguisedToast leads the second team from North America. His team includes MrLLamaSC, a fanatical Diablo player, and Symfuhny, a hip shooter gamer.

    What is Twitch Rivals? The “Twitch Rivals” are show tournaments of Twitch for games. Games are usually selected that are popular but do not have their own real e-sport.

    How are things now? On Day 1, the Disguised Toast team led by some distance – Toast appears to have assembled the strongest players on their team. That looks like him.

    Dhalucard’s team was in 3rd place, pretty much level with xQc. The players around TheGrefg are already a bit behind..

    Rust has also been developed as a game in recent months and not just as an event:
