Ibai

The new Ibai football team already has a name and where to play. What he does not have is tradition, and that in football is a problem

Ibai Llanos has not left time to settle The dust generated by the last eveningand is already giving new headlines. The football team that has created from zero To see how far it has it has a name, Ronin FC, but its growth strategy enters into contradiction with what for many fans is football right now. A calculation failure that can cost the image of your club. I want a football team. Shortly before summer, Ibai advertisement From your Tiktok account that he was going to finance a football team that would start in the most modest categories with the intention of being promoted year by year, specifically in the fourth Catalan division. He said the streamer “we are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years.” The team will be called Ronin FC, a name out of the Samuraisless nickname Only on Instagram In less than 24 hours, and they also have a field to play, located in Rubínear where the streamer. To the counter. However, this Ibai attitude goes against what we see in world football: while sport is globalized and financed as never before, a powerful current of resistance emerges simultaneously that claims authenticity, local, genuine. Rayo Vallecano fans joining so that Your team does not lose your essential localthe Oviedo’s promotion celebrations And raise this year, the Retro t -shirt feverMalaga fans receiving their team After the promotion to 2nd At the airport, the Momentazo Melendi In the Playoff of Ascent, the Previous of the First Party of Valencia After the Dana … It is a Nostalgia for “real” footballcontrary to what the English have baptized as “Plastic Football“, And that concerns, among other things, great clubs such as PSG, City or Chelsea, although with nuances: the City, for example, has a strong local thrust too. The current football Zeitgeist privileges the narrative of the territorial roots and that the teams represent more than a business project. Causing. In this context, Ronin FC emerges, and its only existence seems an act of involuntary provocation. A newly created club that bears the name of the warriors without a master of feudal Japan, something impossible to generate identification from the same shield or without references to the city where it is located. Is owned by Ibai Llanos (which is not any streamer: For a few days, The most often of Twitchsurpassing superstars as Ninja), and with a budget ten times higher than their category rivals. It is like a team created artificially to play FIFA. Ibai plays with fire. Ibai wants to succeed with a team that does not seek the tradition and folklore of the game to legitimize, but to do it with a talonario, however modest its initial intentions. Had to realize when he said for the first time His plans to buy Real Murcia And he found the exception of fans who did not know if a streamer Millionaire of thirty years was the best choice to direct a centenary club. The result has been the expected: Ibai has started from scratch, with a Frankenstein football. How it is usually done. The usual practices when an inverter acquires a club are of two types: or a club with history is bought and that tradition is respected (such as when Abramovich bought Chelsea or sheikhs did it with Manchester City), and has a clear objective: take advantage of a brand and generate an economic return. The other option is to buy a small team and not touch it too much to keep its essence. In the style of What Ryan Reynolds did with Wrexham de Walesthat acquired it in 2020 more to refloat something that already existed that with the intention of renewing it completely. It is not a decision born from nothing: it is the third oldest professional club in the world, it has 159 years of history and 65,000 people of Wales are their fans. It is the antithesis of the Ibai movement. Ronin on the screen. Ibai’s attitude, therefore, even well -intentioned, clashes with that “respectful” arrival to the football of other investors. The fans who can attract this team are fans of the streamer Because there has been no time To germinate a club culture that, sometimes, It has generations to get. According to his own statements, Ibai caresses the idea of broadcasting the parties through streamingwhat can give attention never seen on a category as secondary as the one that is going to play the Ronin FC. The question is not whether your team can withstand that media attention, but if you will not end up playing against your club’s own image.

This Saturday will take place at the Cartuja in Seville The evening 5one of the events of the year in the world streamer. Ibai Llanos, its headquarters, has converted the annual boxing event between Streamers and Influencers in an event that hitting monitoring records Not only live, but also on Twitch. Therefore, the platform has decided to reward him. Twitch recognizes it. The four million simultaneous spectators that had The 4 evening on Twitchand that may be matched or surpassed this year they have provided this new edition an improvement in the transmission. Ibai said in his Instagram stories That “it makes me very excited” and showed that “you see all the categories, all the categories of League of Legends, chatting, Valorant, special events …”, until finally revealed that “we have Our own category On Twitch of the evening of the year, what madness. If someone is going to talk about the evening, you are going to react to a video, you are going to make predictions, this is the category. “ History of a phenomenon. What began in 2021 as a friendly challenge between content creators, Reven and ElMillor, has transcended expectations, becoming the most important phenomenon of digital entertainment in Spanish. The first edition had limited access to public characters from the entertainment world, but got 1.5 million simultaneous spectators on the Internet. The evolution has been meteoric: the evening has been jumping to increasingly large stages, and Already in its third edition it was the most watched event In the history of the platform. The fourth edition beat the record again. In just four years, Ibai Llanos has converted an experiment among friends into an event that rivals the most important sporting events in Spain, generating an average of more than one million spectators and reflecting the great entertainment power in Livestreaming, whose limits continues to stretch year after year. It has all the meaning that Twitch has decided to reward him. Rounding benefits. The evening is also the main economic catalyst in the Spanish streaming industry. The fourth edition of the event generated around 400,000 euros of direct benefits for Ibai Only from Twitch, not including additional income from tickets and sponsorships, while payment to participants exceeded 1.2 million eurosestablishing new salary standards for digital entertainment. The impact on the advertising market is equally forceful: the first three editions doubled the number of sponsors compared to the previous year, with brands such as Alsa and Grefusa GEneruming more than 15,000 interactions each on social networks. Ibai entrepreneur. And the definitive leg to generate all this amount of benefits is Ibai Llanos himself, which with the evening 5 culminates his transformation From modest Lol narrator in 2014 with income of 30 euros per month to independent entrepreneur that Record the brand “The evening of the year” alone. The key point of this conversion was in 2020 when left his contract with G2 eSports To undertake as an independent creator, a decision that allowed him to negotiate a special agreement with Twitch, obtaining 80% of the profits of his channel, something that few that few Streamers international have achieved. In February 2024 Created Velaris-Kena Productions slcompany of which he is a unique partner, marking his definitive break with Gerard Piqué and assuming the total control of his projects. The fact that the evening has its own category in a giant like Twitch is just one more detail, but one that certifies to what extent Ibai has become an essential presence to understand the industry of the streaming.

Of all the projects that currently stands the streamer and Ibai Llanos businessman, no doubt the evening is the one that attracts the most public and media attention. A boxing fight between Influencers which this year will celebrate on July 14 its fifth edition. It comes with novelty: for the first time, Ibai faces this ambitious solo project, separated from its usual partner, Gerard Piqué. Boxing for the masses. The evening Keep growing Without apparent ceiling at the moment. The stuffing day facing Influencers Spanish and Latin American and that This year The clash between Thegrefg and Westcol has as the main course (although others such as the confrontation between Abby and Roro are monopolizing even more media attention) reached In his fourth edition Last year 80,000 live spectators in the Santiago Bernabéu and three million on Twitch. This year the evening moves to the Cartuja of Seville, with a capacity comparable to that of the Madrid stadium. Unexpected split. The great novelty this year comes at the organization level: Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s company that had collaborated with IBAI in the organization of the event, retires from it. In February 2024, Ibai created Velaris-Kena Productions SL, in which it consists as a single partner. It will be the latter in charge of organization of all aspects of evening 5. According to Cincodíasthere will be the punctual collaboration of other companies, such as Kosmos, but Velaris-Kena takes care of the bulk of production. History of collaborations. The collaborations between Ibai and Piqué started in 2021, when they broadcast the Copa América de Fútbol in Port Aventura or the World Balloons. Your first approach to competitions between Streamers It was in 2022, when they organized the Twitch Grand Prix of karts. The failed E-Sports team of Ibai, Koialso had the participation of Kosmos and today is owned by a Canadian group. All this set in a 50%company, Global Goatchthat despite its high billing (around 8 million euros in 2022 and 2023), now it has barely activity. The other great brand they have cultivated together, the Kings Leagueit is actually a Piqué project: Ibai is president of one of the most prominent teams, porcinos FC, but the management and organization of the league falls to the business structure created by Gerard Piqué and his partners. The brand is what you want. The final step that distance to the two entrepreneurs is the registration of the brand La Velada of the year alone by the IBAI company (although, in principle, in February 2024 the registry had been requested by Goatch Global). Later, in October, the company gave ownership to Ibai Llanos, while the US (Intellectual Property Office of the European Union) decided whether to award the brand or not: until March this year, the entity was not clear that a term that seemed generic. Later, he certified, thanks to his turnover, presence in media and unequivocal association of the term “evening” to Ibai, which could be formalized by the registration. More businesses. It is an important advance by IBAI, in an unequivocal step of its transformation as a content creator to entrepreneur who, yes, exposes his image more than usual (although what is Your thinning challenge but a sophisticated image operation with the most important aspect of his brand, himself). The evening brand record will allow you to face a diversification of your business with aspects such as merchandising and licenses (with the first aspect It has already begunlaunching products linked to its events in association with Prime Hydration, drink brand founded by Logan Paul and Ksi). A lot of heat. And for that reason, because Ibai is already a businessman than a content creator, He takes care of promoting the evening in x so that tickets are exhausted again. Some critics with the event claim that mid -July in Seville, it may not have been the most commercial idea in the world, but with an adverse or without it, it is clear that the evening, now brand registered by one of the younger businessmen in the country, continues to raise expectation.

Ibai Llanos is, without a doubt, The most ambitious Spanish streamer. Restless and little given to be in a single type of content, it is stretching the limits of what can be expected from a creator on the Internet to use, to the point that its new project is out of the merely virtual environment: it has announced that it will finance a football team that will start in the most modest categories with the intention of ascending what you can. From the fourth division. Nothing less than in the fourth Catalan division will start the team, as the streamer From your Tiktok account. “We are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years, as far as we arrive,” he says (although it is not exactly the lowest possible category). The digital confidential revealswith information arrived from the environment of Ibai, which there is already a field in which to train, whose location will be revealed soon. Aspects such as the name and other issues will be chosen collaboratively. Starting. At the moment, there are no players: they need 20 and a coaching staff, and the search has already begun. He has opened the call for players in his networks, and we sympathize with whom he has to manage the avalanche of children’s videos giving touches. The choice of the fourth Catalan division is not accidental, of course: Ibai resides in Catalonia and that regional category allows you to enter the federated football system. This team still without a name is, therefore, Ibai’s next step within soccer management, after Your football team 7Porcinos fc, will achieve win the world championship of the Kings League devised by Piqué. Buy the Murcia. It is not the first time that Ibai enters the field of soccer management. In 2021 he expressed his desire to Buy Real Murciaproclaiming his desire that “a humble team is respected the shield.” The mention of Murcia is not accidental: although the team is not at its best (especially considering that it was in 1st division, it is now in the first federation, the third level of Spanish football divisions), it has a great stadium, much follow -up in the city and a long history of famous interested in it: Auronplay and Djmariio They were shareholders And they also The presenters of modern life. Investor problems … Football club management for large business or famous groups has generated abundant controversies in recent years. For example, Valencia is plunged into A serious crisis Under the property of Peter Lim, Singapore businessman, who has been accused of bad financial management, lack of investment, sale of key players and disconnection with the local fans. Granada CF has suffered similar problems, managed by Chinese investors and subsequently sold to other funds. In this context, he has suffered management problems and has accused the lack of a stable sports project, with frequent changes of coaches and directive. … and the celebrities. Valladolid suffered a similar image and results crisis that has lasted until very recently: Ronaldo Nazário acquired 51% of the club in 2018 promising to take it to the elite. A roller coaster of promotions and descents led to the disgust of the fans. After a disastrous season, Ronaldo has sold its participation majority to an American investment group. This case is perhaps the clearest of a media personality with a past linked to football that took the controls of a club with disastrous results, and that possibly Ibai is very present. THE INTER CASE. There is another case, very recent, and that concerns other personalities of the sphere of the streaming: The Madrid International Football Club, founded in 2002, amounted from the Madrid regional until reaching Second Division B. in 2020 He merged with the eSports Dux Gaming teambecoming called Dix International of Madrid. Behind the pioneer union, which linked traditional football and eSports under the same seal, were the players Thibaut Courtois and Borja Iglesias, and the Djmariio youtuber. However, economic and administrative conflicts with the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2022 led Dux Gaming It will separate from the project. The result was that, since then, any approach to traditional football from the orbit of the Streamers It is seen with suspicion. An important challenge. Ibai is accustomed to assuming large -scale challenges, and to get out of Niche appearance projects like the evening. Therefore, your first decision, not to buy an existing team to save time and resources, but to found it from zero and start from below, has a clear strategy. Now it only remains to see if the innumerable decisions that have ahead takes them with the same common sense.
