Fifty of the world's most prominent streamers joined together on December 26 to enter OfflineTV's private Rust server. Many of the streamers in the Rust server, including Corpse Husband, Pokimane, and Sykkuno, often collaborate and stream multiplayer games together like Among Us. Now a few days into the massive Rust server, some streamers have formed factions to peacefully build and interact with each other, however famous Twitch streamer Shroud sees an implosion in the future.
Only two days into the server, Shroud shares a theory that the Rust server is going to implode soon. He explains that many of the streamers do not want to fight, but that a certain streamer may cause some problems. Shroud believes the streamer that will cause the destruction of the server is none other than Canadian Twitch streamer xQc.
XQc is known as a very outspoken streamer with a big personality and for being at the center of controversy at times. The Canadian streamer has been subject to a number of suspensions including streaming an inappropriate game on Twitch, and recently, a suspension for stream-sniping DrLupo, Shroud, and Tyler1 at the Fall Guys Twitch Rivals Event. Shroud does not seem to hold a grudge for the incident, but still feels like xQc could cause some trouble in the Rust servers.
In a Twitch clip, which can be viewed here, Shroud says, "I can feel something bad happening. Now that xQc is making a base, they’re gonna gather up, and they’re gonna start f***ing people up. Once that happens, either the server dies, or he gets kicked. That’s what I think is gonna happen."
Shroud's theory may come to fruition, as xQc already took a shot at another streamer. While building a base, Twitch streamer Pokimane was almost run over by xQc riding a horse wielding a double-barrel shotgun. After jumping off the horse, xQc was quickly shot down by Pokimane. Although it could be just a little excitement to add to the stream, the horseback attack could be foreshadowing events to come.
Only a few hours ago, xQc's Twitter account was locked due to a year-old Twitch clip on his page. XQc received a DMCA takedown notice, however, it begs the question if the clip could land him a suspension on Twitch as well. His Twitter account was only temporary locked, and should not affect his streaming, but the suspension definitely irked the streamer based on his post immediately after the suspension was lifted.
Many streamers have been having fun on the OfflineTV Rust server, however, one streamer was pushed too far during their recent Rust stream. Popular streamer Valkyrae turned off her Rust stream early after her chat became toxic and filled with negativity. For now, many of the streamers are still playing on the server, but Shroud believes it is only a matter of time before xQc does something drastic.
Rust is available for PC, Mac, and Linux platforms.
