Twitch Rivals $75K Iron Trials Showdown: Recap & Results
With limited practice in the new Iron Trials mode, it’s safe to say this $75K Twitch Rivals event was fairly chaotic from the jump. Not only did we see new teams forming for the first time in customs, but we also saw new trios rising to the very top for the first time as well.
Right out of the gate it was Arrayyz, ItsEyeQew, & Ebatez that came out swinging.

They secured the first two map wins and did so with plenty of kills to their name. When the multiplier came through, it pushed this trio to a whopping 84 points, 26.4 points ahead of the second-best team across the opening matches.
A win from Team bbreadman in map three and a win from Team Tommey in map four pushed both Trios into the top 5. Though it wasn’t enough to catch up on the near-insurmountable lead Team ItsEyeQew cemented in the first two games. Heading into the final lobby, they still held a 15.8 point advantage over the second-best team.
Another top-three placement in the final map was more than enough to secure the trophy. Team ItsEyeQew couldn’t be stopped as they closed out the first-place finish.
