What’s special about Twitch Rivals Iron Trials Showdown?
At the end of September, Call of Duty: Warzone had a big Season 5 update under the title Reloaded. Besides new operators and balance changes gamers also got access to the new game mode with a higher difficulty — Iron Trials ‘84.
New game mode offers several major changes compared to the classic mode. Maximum HP is increased from the start, but the health regeneration speed is reduced heavily, sniper rifles and stun grenades are nerfed, and only a limited number of vehicles is available.
New game mode was in a test period for several weeks, but now it’s available in custom lobbies. Twitch Rivals Iron Trials Showdown was the first big event in the new game mode with top Warzone streamers from North America and Europe participating in two events of the series.

The NA event was followed by the EU one. Lots of prominent streamers and former pro players took part in the tournament, including Counter-Strike legend GeT_RiGhT, Fnatic player Moonryde and winner of several Twitch Rivals Warzone events — streamer Recrent from Natus Vincere.
The event was broadcasted on 132 channels, which helped the EU tournament to outperform Na one by viewership stats. Peak Viewers number was 118K, and Average Viewers — 94K. However, the EU event collected less Hours Watched since it was for half an hour less on air.
