Twitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has explained why he has not joined the chaos that is the OfflineTV Rust server, while he also questions why some “really good Rust players” have been allowed to join.
Although Rust has been around since 2013, it exploded in popularity on Twitch in recent weeks thanks to the OfflineTV server.
Some of Twitch’s best streamers such as xQc, Shroud, Pokimane and Sodapoppin have played on the server, and the game often reaches the top of the Twitch lists ̵
With the server split in two, many other streamers have been able to join in the fun, but viewers have asked for Summit1g to get involved, since it’s right up his street.
OfflineTV’s Rust server has breathed extra life into the popular and unique game.
Well, the former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player answered these calls during the January 8 stream, and had a simple answer – he’s just too invested in Escape from Tarkov.
“I’m like a mediocre player. If I took some guys who were good as coconut and that and chilled with them, it would probably be a good time, ”Summit said, answering questions about Rust. “But I’m not in the mood right now. I’m pretty heavy in EFT [Escape from Tarkov].
“I have nothing against Rust, in fact, if this server came right before I joined EFT, I had a good chance I would have played on it,” he continued. “But only bad timing while I’m deep in the EFT drought right now. Maybe after, if it’s still going on. ”
The Twitch star further added his point when he ended his stream, noting: “The really good Rust players are like pro-CS players. You do not have great chances unless you spend a lot of time. ”
He also asked why streamers would “purposefully get into a server with these dudes” which, for them, playing against beginners is simply surfing the skies.
Basically, I do not know why you would purposefully get into a server with the dudes lol. Less chance of a regular server encountering gods.

Lemme just say this. When I’m on smurfing in CS, I just rotate and do not even buy rifles. It’s still not even fair when you do either, that the rust server is smurf heaven I imagine lol.

Summit may have left the door open for the possibility that he can join the OfflineTV servers, but it is really a case that it will last long enough, since he and some other streamers are so deep inside Escape from Tarkov.
Players on the OfflineTV servers may have just quit and moved on to something else when he’s done with Tarkov, so we can never see him join the party.
