Twitch streamer Tyler "Trainwreckstv" added a new "side quest" to his Twitch Rivals: Rust adventure by betting $200,000 on the teams led by fellow content creators Jeremy "Disguised Toast" and Felix "xQc."

Trainwreckstv decided to spice up the tournament by stating that if Disguised Toast or xQc managed to destroy each other's TC (Tool Cupboards) in the game, the winner would receive $200,000 in BitCoin. He stated:

"So, pretty much, I think, to really juice up the last, you know, one hour and 24 minutes or 54 minutes, whichever timer we're looking at, I've decided to, you know, add a little extra side quest, a little incentive, if you will, for both teams to kind of spice up the action. Pretty much $200,000 in BitCoin, in US Dollar, I put up."

It was revealed that the Twitch personality wagered $200,000 in BitCoin and laid out the rules for winning the huge sum. Tyler said:

"If Team Toast can destroy Team xQc's TC, they will get $200k in addition to what they already win for the first place. If we somehow, if Team xQc somehow wins the game by more points, then Team xQc will get the $200k, not including myself, obviously. So, that's just what it is."

At the time of the announcement, Team Disguised Toast was dominating the game as they were sitting at 307 points as compared to Team xQc, who was at 116 points.

Tyler stated that if his team (Team xQc) made a comeback, they would win $200,000, and if Team Disguised Toast won, they would get $200,000 on top of their first place winnings:

"If we somehow make the comeback, you know, then my team will get the $200k, and if Team Toast can somehow destroy our TC, which, you know, let me add, it is in a very, very tough place to find. It is, it is in there, then Team Toast will get $200,000 on top of their first place winnings."

The surprising announcement came to an end when Trainwreckstv provided a reason for betting $200,000 at the tournament:

" So, I think this will kind of give incentive to give us the action that should happen at the end of the Rust tournament. So yeah, that's it!"
