Rivals started out as a community-focused program with the goal of creating a competitive atmosphere for our streamers. Any high-level esport competition culminates in an offline event, meaning streamers would have to leave home for a while and usually couldn’t run their channels. So we worked with developers to bring competitions to their streams. There’d always be a main show on the /TwitchRivals channel along with every participant streaming live during the competitions.
The first two iterations of Rivals focused heavily on the IP of the featured game.
As the show grew, we incorporated more Twitch purple into the graphics package and expanded heavily on marketing and social. In 2019 Twitch received a rebrand, and with it the Rivals look was updated as well. The program also expanded to having partnerships, sponsors, and the Streamer Bowl which had Twitch streamers draft from a pool of NFL players to duo with them in Fortnite.
In addition, I also provided art direction to our production partners for the broadcast graphics.
