Twitch Rivals SquidCraft Games 2 has been going on for two days now. But the Minecraft mini-games will continue until March 5, and some of Twitch’s biggest streamers are still in the competition. Here’s how to watch SquidCraft Games 2 and where the event left off yesterday.
Who’s Playing
Twitch Rivals SquidCraft Games 2 is the second edition of the huge Minecraft competition among streamers. The first iteration, from January 2022, was also based on a game mod inspired by the Netflix TV show “Squid Game”. This time, 200 streamers are battling through a series of mini-games until one winner remains. This lucky contestant takes home the $200,000 prize money. While last year’s event was exclusive to Spanish-speaking streamers, SquidCraft Games 2 is joined by English creators like Dream, xQc, and Amouranth.
Event Schedule
Two Days of the competition have already passed, but there are four more to go. From today until March 6, additional games will be held, some of which have been made just for this edition. The challenges are revealed day-by-day as a surprise for viewers and contestants. The event continues each day at 6 pm GMT+0. You can tune into any of the players’ broadcasts or watch on the official English/Spanish Twitch Rivals channels. Keep in mind that despite their elimination, participants can continue co-streaming SquidCraft Games.
