Quick answer

What is RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena?

RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena is a free interactive battle game for TikTok LIVE, made by Matterlane Studio for Windows PCs. Two teams face off on screen. Viewers join a side by commenting, and every valid comment pushes the giant ball toward the other team. A knockout or the final whistle decides the round, and the next match starts automatically.

The game receives your LIVE's comments, likes and gifts through TikFinity Desktop on the same PC and draws the battle in a portrait LIVE Output window that you add to TikTok LIVE Studio.

Features

Built for a lively TikTok LIVE showdown

Comment-controlled battles

Viewers type their team's command to join and push. No gift is ever needed to play.

Likes and gifts as optional boosts

Likes help and gifts boost the side a viewer picked, with caps so one big gift cannot end a round on its own.

Animated characters and real rivalry

Characters strain, celebrate and react as their side wins or falls behind, with a crowd that cheers along.

Waiting for Players and Round On Hold

The clock waits for the first team comment, and freezes on Round On Hold when the comments go quiet.

MVP recognition and automatic rematches

The victory screen names the winning team's MVP, then the next match starts by itself.

Your title, round length and sound

Set the on-screen title and round length, and enjoy built-in music and sound effects with their own volume controls.

Live Activity console

See every comment and gift as it arrives, and whether it scored, in the Operator Console.

Offline simulator and TikFinity integration

Rehearse offline with simulated viewers, then connect TikFinity Desktop for real LIVE events.

FAQ

RIVALS LIVE questions, answered

Is RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena free?

Yes. It is free to download and free to use, and the activation code is free from the Matterlane Studio Discord. There is nothing to buy.

How do viewers play?

Viewers type their team's command in the TikTok LIVE comments, for example BOYS or GIRLS in Boys vs Girls. Valid comments push the giant ball toward the other side. Likes and gifts can add optional boosts for the side a viewer picked, but comments are the free, main way to play.

Is there an Android, iPhone or Mac version?

No. RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena runs on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) PCs only. You can read this page on your phone, but install the game on the Windows PC you stream from.

How do I get an activation code?

Join the Matterlane Studio Discord, open the #activation-code channel, type /activate and choose RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena. Your code arrives in a private reply that only you can see.

How many PCs can I activate?

Each code activates one PC, and each Discord member can get up to 3 RIVALS LIVE codes. Codes do not expire. Noypi Korner and Jarvis Desktop codes do not activate RIVALS LIVE.

Does RIVALS LIVE need the internet after activation?

Only once, when you click Activate. After that the game starts offline. TikFinity Desktop and your TikTok LIVE still use your normal internet connection.

What happens if I reinstall or upgrade?

On the same PC, the same code works again and does not use up another code. If you use version 0.2.x, install 0.3.0 over it: your settings are kept and you activate once.

Why doesn't the game start when TikFinity connects?

Connecting TikFinity does not start a match. Click START GAME in the Operator Console. The round timer then starts with the first valid team comment.

Can RIVALS LIVE help me earn from TikTok LIVE?

RIVALS LIVE gives viewers a fun reason to comment and take part, which can make a LIVE more engaging. It does not guarantee income and does not make an account eligible for TikTok LIVE gifts or monetization. Any earnings depend on TikTok's own eligibility rules, programs and policies, and on what your viewers choose to do. Viewers never need to send gifts to play.

Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning?

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows cannot show a verified publisher and SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway. Download only from this official page.

Is RIVALS LIVE an official TikTok product?

No. RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena is made by Matterlane Studio and is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok, ByteDance or TikFinity. It works alongside TikFinity Desktop and TikTok LIVE Studio, which are separate products.
