Any streamers that during a twitch event literally send their chat to harass the opposing streamers, should just be blacklisted from all twitch organized events for a couple of months. It's been happening with so many events recently, it's just not okay and Twitch needs to implement a way to make sure that streamers stop doing it.

Most of the time, the streamers don't send the viewers. The viewers do it on their own accord. The problem is the streamer not stopping it. When a streamer doesn't stop it and say it's not okay, that is a green light for the immature viewers to go harass people.

@brygs767 Way, way less do. Streamers have a fuckton of influence over their viewers. If fucking XQC can create an icon that covers half of r/place using his viewers then normal streamers can control their audience into not going out of their way to harass people. Not to mention, the people that go and harass others who mess with their own streamer are obviously among the more dedicated crowd, and the streamer is therefore especially influential to them.

To be fair, "No raiding till the last couple hours", and , "no weapons besides pistols until tier 2 is unlocked", are the only rules you should really need in this type of Rust competition. Anything else would be micromanaging. The Spanish squad got cute with the twig exploit and then got sour after that didn't work out the way they wanted. Their time zone excuse is also weird considering 48 hours is still 48 hours in any time zone. NA just wanted it more, the hours they put in showed that.

Imo, this entire thing seems abysmally planned, like actually could not have been planned any worse. They probably should have set times for when the server is active that work for both regions, and input stricter punishments for exploiting the rules of the competition. I have very little knowledge of this situation, but from my pov it seems like the english ruined this competition.

@Wes C It didn't need better planning it just needed more mature participants. The english community never broke a single rule but the spanish community did. If the Spanish streamers hadn't started crying because their twig walls crumbled from stray bullets (obviously) NA probably never would've even tried to find a loophole to get into their bases. The spanish literally came out the gate crying as usual. The spanish would've found a way to ruin the event no matter what, look how they acted during /r/place when France demolished them.

If you want the communities to mingle, split both teams and put one half on either side. Let the English and Spanish streamers struggle to communicate and over the course of 48 hours either learn some of the language or develop ways to communicate and develop bonds with Spanish communities. Not only funny, but you don't have nationalist faction warfare, and some of the complaints of events during sleeping hours don't hold merit because half of the team is in the correct time zone.

Late to the party, but it was quite the experience watching Surefour on the first and second days. He was a guy brought in, who knew barely anything about Rust and was just there to be a mercenary and have good aim. 1. Spain raided the NA base first, cleared the thing out and they had nothing. They also stole their Scrappy (Helicopter) after they crashed their own. Meanwhile, the spanish had more people who knew how to rush to get better weapons faster and farmed better (Which, legit, was good tactics) So while S4 and others were barely using crossbows and bows, they were raiding the NA base with pistols, shotguns and crossbows. The ONLY reason NA even got those weapons as early as they did, was good playing by the NA team to kill a raid group and TAKE those weapons from them. With THOSE stolen weapons, they went after NPC's in the underground trains and such and got better weapons. That was the only reason they got ahead, by using the Spanish teams own weapons against them. Then, when the NA team went in and tried to 'raid' the Spanish base (Somewhat in retaliation for them being raided very early on) Coco got in, didn't destroy anything and ended up a little stuck. The Spanish team cornered him and went to get Admin. Admin told him to drop all his loot and leave, which he did, but he shot one piece of the twig structure trying to get out and not walk right into the enemy team waiting for him. After this, the WHOLE Spanish team quit the server for about half an hour to 45 minutes, threatening to leave the game and complaining to Admin. (Even though Coco dropped everything, including what he came in with). Admin came back, made the Twigs invincible and made the '15 area' rule that couldn't be attacked (Which as you said, the Spanish completely ignored.) After a bit, the NA team stole the Scrappy (Which again, the Spanish team did to them really early on, crippling the team for a long while) and they again went crying to the Admin, as if it wasn't something totally legal in the rules and as if it wasn't something they had already done. Most of the NA team just took everything in stride with what actually happened in-game, mostly saying they were whiners. When the Spanish team got racist and childish in chat, the NA team certainly got childish and dumb too, but as for the in-game stuff? NA was pretty much taking everything in stride. Really sad how this played out.

Its just a shame that this event went down so badly, because the fact that the teams were formed based on nationality/language makes it so much worse. It's not a bad idea, but it just leaves two extremely disconnected communities with a massive bad experience with what equates to an entire culture. And the fact that they rarely interact means this bad experience won't be overcome easily. It's just a a waste of a potentially great event.

the real issue is as every comment will mention rust is just impossible in its current state to regulate any system of rules. once you get enough people into ANYTHING especially with vague rules it gets bad fast. 1 person will purposely break rules a few will accidentally break rules. once this inevitably happens the other side will retaliate which of course causes more retaliation. now combine this with streamers who can be a bit dramatic (i mean thats how content works) so everything gets blown up faster. each community having little to no overlap stars quickly making it US vs THEM. being an english designed event all this minor drama and banter makes the spanish side feel slighted so again it escalates. the problem comes though that both sides fucked up but then they argue who fucked up first or who fucked up more. neither of which solve the problem. rather than the players trying to have a good event or have fun they were trying to win and once drama of any kind started even very small its going to escalate without better moderation. idk how you could do it in rust but they really do need more enforceable rules and moderation to keep it feeling fair so both sides dont feel slighted. this wont stop any talking based banter and i do feel some in game and out of game comments went to far. TLDR the event didnt get set up in a way that was ever going to work and the players cared more about winning and getting even than having a fun event. though its hard to try and have fun if you feel the other side is slighting you.

I think it's really just a case of enforcement allowing it to escalate and each side feeling the enforcement was against them

6:25 - Thanks for speaking to this, Ludwig. As a former admin of a community server, it was always a challenge to enforce the rules we did select given how few tools are available within the game proper. If Rust is going to have more of a future in esports it'll be crucial to develop tools and systems in order to productively manage.

It's crazy to see the amount of people dismissing all the issues saying it's all due to planning or the admins. This was planned and agreed on by both teams in both languages with representatives from twitch NA, twitch spain, and rust admins who were from other countries not involved (toast explains this to his response to Alexby's tweets). Also how were the admins supposed to predict and plan for half of the event to threaten a walkout on the first day then proceed to call it quits 3 additional times. The admins did what they could to keep it from falling apart and when it still did they tried to pivot. NA and a few of the spanish streamers who wanted to play still were going to do a civil war type fight to have something for the planned broadcast after spain forfeited then alexby, ricoy and others came back saying that they'll do a last for fun battle but they also quit that so the entire final broadcast got cancelled

They were consistently changing and making up rules at every moment, everytime that something happened for one team or the other... They didnt setup a propper foundation ( ruling ) for the event to go smooth and then invited probably the most egocentric content creators there are in the most unfriendly game there is. They started malding and in the end ESLA team withdrew. Besides that they should ban anybody who didnt try to control harrasment or fueled any kind of slurs and racism.

@Sinestessia they definitely caved in too much but can't blame them with how much power a team held when they were able to organize a collective log off on the first day. I don't think toast nor the TR and Rust admin team expected ego to manifest that way cause they definitely valued content higher as seen when they even let the Spanish captain come back in after forfeiting cause they thought they were down to make content for the main broadcast but they ditched that too. Contracts will probably be much stricter for all rivals after this. Unfortunately, it's not up to TR to punish and I doubt main twitch HQ will ban their bigger SP streamers in Alex and ricoy

As a native speaker living in a Spanish speaking country—the sad reality is that this is the sad, ignorant culture we live in. A lot of people will shout and scream slurs like it's a Monday because whenever you try to educate people on racism and prejudice, they mock you. At least where I live, we haven't walked past all of these harmful comments, stereotypes and internalized racism. Some countries and states are definitely more conservative… the only countries/states in which it isn't *so* bad are, ironically, the ones that are close to the border with the US and/or the ones who are heavily tied to it. It's a sad reality, it isn't excused but the ableist and racist comments legitimately do not surprise me. It's something that's very normalized in our culture.

He couldve added so much more to it, but the point was still made. They were suposed to be primitive locked witch means that revolver and double barrel shotgun was allowed, however the ruling was vage. Team NA found a Python wich is tier 2 and had to ask the admins, they told them they could use it but not for pvp, so they modified the ruling mid event ( wich wasnt notified to ESLA team untill much later, there are clips of this ) . However it didnt matter as they lost it to NPC a little bit later. They also were using inciendiary shells at serveral places like oil rig that prevented ESLA team to fight them; wich is tier 2. So yes, the ruling was poorly made and led to several confrontations and yes NA did break many rules aswell. And as i said in another comment they should ban whoever didnt try to control harrasment and fueled any kind of slurs and racism.

I've been involved in both communities my whole life, I'm from Costa Rica and what happened in this event is a fucking shame… I grew up watching most of the streamers in this event (both Spanish and English streamers) and I'm so disappointed that what could have been a nice opportunity to unite these two communities went down like this. Alexby, even though is one of the OGs from the Spanish community since early YouTube, behaved like a child, but this isn't new tbh (no disrespect lol). Of course there is an obvious cultural difference, for example the use of the "r word" which was not a big deal in LATAM until recently or in Spain apparently (unless you actually use it to attack a person with a disability 💀), but to joke with the "n word" is incredible disrespectful considering how offensive that is. Or telling women to "stay in the kitchen" is so immature and sexist no matter where you are from. Also, I'm a little bias because most of the streamers (if not all of them) that are in this drama are from SPAIN not LATAM, so its a little frustrating that their actions are putting this horrible image for all the Spanish-speaking community. Note: I'm basing my opinions in this video, I didn't watch the whole live event, but I think Ludwig always do a very good job summarizing what went down.

It's so weird knowing both languages and communities and hearing such different stories from each side, knowing how both communities work and think about this kind of events. I would agree with the fact that Spanish streamers tend to not take things as seriously as NA streamers since most Spanish streamers do seem streaming as a job so they spend the same amount of hours in a stream as you would in a normal job but I do have to say that from what I have seen from the statement from other Spanish streamers I really can't make up my mind with what really happened but all I can say is that it is disappointing to see such a nice opportunity for both of this communities to participate in something together and see it end like this.

@D U because their job isn’t an office job where they are expected to behave a certain way.

But I'm really embarrased of how this turned out. The spanish streamers had so many deplorable actions, their efforts were a fucking joke and they started acting like assholes really early. It's infuriating because I started watching the event because it sounded fun and I was excited to see both regions play together.

Besides feeling bad for the NA streamers who put in so many hours for a finale showdown; I also felt bad for the kind smaller Spanish streamers who had funny and nice interactions with the NA team. Nothing personal either, but the leaders on the Spanish team made a selfish decision and ended up ruining a rare opportunity for some of the other Spanish streamers who just wanted to have fun or grow their community. By being a larger streamer with a large and avid community, it leaves little room for the smaller streamers to disagree because there is always a fear of their own Spanish community rejecting them for looking like they aren't siding with their own country.

To be totally fair, if the Moderators/Gamekeepers actually enforced the rules instead of trying to clarify them/readjust them to the situation, then I doubt some (not all) of what happened would not have. When I think of "Raiding", sneaking into the other sides base with a few friends to steal loot would absolutely fall under that category. But instead of consequences, we got the "No-No Squares". The Rules and Communication was just not there enough and the players felt relatively unrestricted and did as they pleased. So many companies and people struggle with this. Fix the core problem, not put a band-aid on it. Clearly the band-aid wasn't enough because the man ended up bleeding out and ruining the whole thing.

The funniest thing about this is that it IS possible to make things in Rust off-limits and indestructable. All the dumb "verbal agreement, let's shake on it" bullshit, and the drama that resulted from it, could have been easily avoided. Look at any decent PvE server in Rust, they have coders that customize their servers to implement all kind of stuff like PvE maps with PvP zones, npc raidable bases, and pvp flags with timers. If it can be done by small time coders, then it can definitely be done by a whole ass team dedicated to running a successful event with this much money behind it, especially when the team includes people who work for Facepunch. The event organizers and admins really should have upped their game for this event, because all these problems were avoidable. I do think the format has merit, but if they want to run it again hopefully they figure the coding side of it out before any future events.

I think this all really revolves around the No raiding thing. I'd imagine it'd probably be best to have multiple raiding periods, maybe 1 after and hour, then one or two at 3 and 5 and from there you'd want to have it based on time zones syncing up (so there isn't alarmclocking at 3:45 AM or whatever, cause that just sucks) The whole "Make the base out of twigs" did cause it to snowball simply cause the game really isn't designed to have you use twig structures for anything that is critical. Not to say they were wrong in running it this way, it's just a lot more likely in such a long format to have weird quirks of the rules arise. And sometimes we gotta make mistakes, now we know that you gotta be real specific with the rules in Rust tournaments, make sure you have a provision for twig structures (Could just have them exempt from the raiding rule, forcing at _least_ wooden structures during the no raid period, and at that point you'd want to have anti-door camping and so forth, naturally pushing players to specific, wanted behavior.) And yea, toxicity over teammates is no bueno, no one will ever disagree with that

This was an amateur event. You know they're amateurs setting up an event because they tried to make it nearly rule-less. They should have put ground rules originally, clearly defined what "raiding" implies, and asked the players if there was anything they disagreed with or wanted to add. And then they should have put significant penalties to breaking the rules. The players breaking rules got nothing more than a slap on the wrist and a "give it back". Should have docked the team 10-20 points depending on the infraction.

It was disappointing to see how some of the Spanish streamers approached the event. Toast wanted to do this event with the Spanish streamers because he has built up great admiration for their scene and respect for how they approach collaborative content, but some of the Spanish streamers came into this even from a place of despise, disrespect, and frankly some outright xenophobia for the NA community. Their team captain could have stopped the few team members he had who were being disrespectful, hateful and cheating but he didn't bother probably (Giving him the benefit of the doubt here) cause nationalistic pride and tribalism got in the way. These few Spanish streamers ruined the entire event for the rest of the Spanish streamers as well, most of whom are small streamers and could have used the bonus money from winning. Probably severely reduced the chances of future collaborative content between NA and LATAM scenes. What a shame. One of them is still target harassing NA streamers from the event.

I'm Spanish and I gotta say, it's pretty embarrasing how people act when encouraged by each other. Many people here just think darker is funnier, combined with the fact that *ACTUAL* racism is far, far less common here than in the US, people are usually less educated and are pretty desensitized, so they tend to say words or act in ways that are... pretty fucking racist. But... I kinda have to play devil's advocate: people often don't think what they say. Saying the "n" word in Spain... means nothing, they just say it for shock value towards NA people. As I said, that group mentality encouraging each other to say the most shocking thing imaginable is pretty common here.

The biggest complaints from the Spanish side were the time zone differences. A lot of the events happened while the Spanish streamers were asleep so it became unfair, but the issue with that complaint is that the NA streamers were putting far more commitment into the server. Streamers on the NA side weren't sleeping and staying awake the entire time, others were doing 14-18 hours of streams and barely sleeping or having free time. There was the obvious racism/ableism from the Spanish streamers as well. The other streamers were being toxic and not contributing to the problem, but that's more than expected with people like XQC and whatnot on the server. One of the biggest problems came down to the Spanish streamers properly cheating, not just going against the rules of the server. At least one of the streamers was using filters on the game to be able to see in the pitch black of night, killing a bunch of people. What makes this worse is that there was a $2k prize for top kills. Another was off stream door camping to try and capture the top spot, and was said to be stream sniping. This was very poor for the Spanish streamers, and Ricoy needs to be removed from all platforms.

I only heard about this through the video so don't really know how big of a deal it was but the fact that they made their bases of twig then complained when it got hit by a stray bullet and broke is absolutely maddening and they deserve to be disqualified for that alone. That's like having an imaginary house and being upset that someone walked into it, build an actual fucking base if you don't want 1 bullet to break it, it's not hard, it's not difficult, it's not time consuming. You can make it out of wood or stone and with more than 3 people would take less than 10 minutes. Actually insane that that was even a complaint in the first place

I feel like even if both sides cleared up the rules in the beginning, something like this would eventually happen because of ego and conflicting personalities

I feel like any type of person on any rust server will cause drama. Rust is just a game about flexing Ego's. It was inevitable considering all the streamers have huge egos

The rule was that you could not go inside the base so since the Spanish streamers placed their helicopter on the roof it became free game since the na team did not need to go inside the base to get the helicopter technically and that was the only thing they took so there was no loot stolen and no rules broken

Toast mentioned how him and Alex got into a call prior to the whole event where they talked to the admins and discuss what rules should be implemented, how the event would go. Alex talking about "I didn't know we could use revolvers" was bs because they started using the guns before team NA. Team NA only used guns because Spanish people were using them first. Edit: Rennisaurus or whatever her name was even shown screenshots where they were given a list of items that were prohibited and there was no mention of pistols. They asked the admins if pistols were allowed and ultimately it was. It was fair game and the Spanish had the same list too!

Oh I did, and there was a lot of drama, but the streamers were professional about it and shook hands in the end. Rust brings out the primitive side of people and IMO thats what makes it fun. Unlike the spanish team who kept crying that the admins have favoritism and refused to play the game. Tbh they still could have won the game, the last day was suppose to be the most critical moment of the tournament.

No one expected there to be 0 drama. They chose rusk cuz they knew there would be. And the event went super great- until there were some miscommunications abt the rules(which is not on the game). Despite everything, the event popped off and the next one will be even better

I can’t really understand the Spanish side because regardless of what’s happening I know most streamers would’ve just stuck it out regardless of nationality. Quitting is just so boring and ruins a lot of the viewers experience and in the end ruined what could’ve been a great event. Hopefully twitch gets more strict on the rules and does another rust tourney with better and clearer rules because it really was a good stream up until the Spanish quit.

I mean, in one side you have streamers leading NA like Toast and HJune, both mature people who understand that besides the differences, making fun content is the final goal because it's a win-win for everybody, and then in the other side you have over invested and emotional people like AlexBy and Ricoy making the calls. Good leadership matters. I wonder if things could have gone different if people like Ibai or Rubius were leading

This kind of reminds me of that Mario Kart tournament event where it ended up being cancelled because the losing team(i forgot what country they're from) decided to quit because of "unfairness". Causing the winning team not even receiving their reward for winning because the other team had quitted. So damn childish.

It really sucks that this happened, and I feel especially bad for it as a Spanish- American. I feel bad that one of the rare occasions that Spain gets any time in the international spotlight our representatives act so disrespectfully. I'd like to make it clear that not all Spaniards act so childishly. I hope that sometime Spain has another opportunity to redeem herself in the online space, and hopefully next time both the Hispanic community and the English speaking community gets a fair say in the rules for any future events. This was a bummer to watch, but thanks for speaking out on it Lud.

I don't think (or at least I hope) that anyone's take-away from this event is that wharever particular streamer's/streamer's chat's behavior is indicative of how the majority of people from a country behave. If anyone did I would encourage them to actually go to Spain and see how incredibly kind and fun the people are there, especially to foreigner's. I believe this is more of an example of the nature of Rust and how quickly it can become super toxic under even normal circumstances. I really hope that there will be another chance for these communities to join again under better terms or potentially a different less serious game. Sending love from America :)

the english were childish with it first though, do something childish and you're gonna get a childish response. They ignored the no raiding rule and still raided. Just because they didn't destroy or kill anyone doesn't mean they didn't raid or steal etc. they knew they were specifically going at a bad loophole and didn't care because they were on american servers

I think the issue was that the rules weren't clear enough. Toast basically said we will do things if the admins allows it then it's ok. revolver in bow and sticks era it's ok. Raid base on first day? Admin is fine with it, pythons, ok, and many other things. So always going to the limits of the rules was the issue.

To be fair raiding doesn’t have to involve destruction. It can be done by stealth. That said if you’re going to build something out of twigs you don’t get to complain when it gets damaged by stray fire.

It sucks that the event was ruined and their should of been some backup so this doesn't happen. Put it in writing and make sure this doesn't happen by signing contracts. Personally I couldn't care less as I don't speak Spanish and don't care about the Spanish streams. I should probably note that this is in reference to just the streams in a whole not the people in general as Spanish people are genuinely really nice people. If you're going to do events such as this it needs to involve both sides start to finish. It also should of been modded better as any reference to racism/sexism/ whatever should result in an instant ban of that person.

But like for you to act that arrogant knowingly willingly not giving a shit when you are a public figure and you act like that, im like damn, this society is so fucked, coz of the power that people give to public figures.... they feel like they can do anything knowing that your community will ever have your back no matter what...

Yeah, there's definitely groups of Spanish streamers who really don't care about being a public figure and saying whatever shit they want, sadly some communities around here will still defend them because they also look for that kind of content I'm still glad there was some enjoyment to get with some of the content creators out there but if I was Toast I would consider having some kind of trust proxy to look for specific creators in the spanish community first, there are lots of known, respected, respectful and loved faces who may not get numbers as big, but whi instead could easily give the best content out of an event like that

Just so people know I watched a video on welyns channel, who was one of the streamers who participated in the event, the loot that they stole was a helicopter that was on top of the Spanish streamers base and that's all they stole. The rules stated they could not raid the base, but the heli was not in the base so it was fair game. The base that got destroyed because it was made of bad marterial was not raided, there was a fight nearby and stray shots hit the base. Watch welyns video on the event to see what happened.
