Valorant: Ibai, Kun, ocelot and the future? of ESPORTS emissions

Ibai Llanos Garatea (birthed 26 March 1995), commonly known just as Ibai, is a Spanish internet celeb, banner as well as esports commentator. He is a Twitch and YouTube content creator, and also a speaker for G2 Esports until 2021.

This past night, Ibai Llanos commented on Twitter who was very satisfied with his current moment as a content creator. He said that he had found the balance between videogame content, famous visits and interviews with musicians, actors and athletes. That creative freedom and the ability to have almost any on the planet, is the key to its channel of twitch .

But if he also begins to have rights to issue all kinds of sporting events, the thing is even more enormous. In addition to the narration of the French soccer league and Messi's debut a few weeks ago, today IBAI has returned to electronic sports. Of course, not to the fetish game of him as it is League of Legends, but to the Shooter Riot Games, Valorant. Today he has issued the quarterfinals of the Valorant Masters of Berlin between the KRÜ of the friend of him Kun Agüero and the G2 ESPORTS of the former head of him ocelote .

Luxury guests

This is already going beyond Ibai and the charism of him . The Basque featured the founders of both teams during the retransmission (although Kun left after a few rounds by the nerves and returned on the second map), something that almost no sports, traditional or sports retransmission, can do. That added that both two are two good friends from Ibai, and may feel comfortable to the point of generating moments like the one above, in which Ocelote jokes with the Kun about not knowing that it was his team.

There are many factors of interest that converge, and that they allow tens of thousands of people to approach the live for many reasons: there are people who like the valorant and he likes Ibai, people who did not know the Valorant and is here for him, people who are curious to see ocelot and the kun comment something together ... and valorant, benefiting from it.

A format that may see in the future

Ibai's talent as a narrator is beyond doubt: lol, fifa, real football, basketball ... but Valorant is not something I was going to have worked in the past. Therefore, It was not reasonable to wait for a classic format in which Riot would give him a stream without narrators, and that he told him in his live. Instead, what he did was a format livereaction . That is, Ibai and the guests of him threw their ideas and thoughts as the facts were developed.

This is not something novel, since it is one of the most common content and formats on YouTube, as well as Twitch by many content creators. But the key example is KCORP , the French League of Legends team, which retransmits its games with influencers as the Kameto itself, Founder of the Club.

It must be remembered that IBAI has bought a square in Lol's lol superliga along with his friend Gerard Piqué. If we add it to the intention of Riot Europe to replicate the French model that has been at the level of audience and expectation, it seems obvious that a streaming of the Ibai team with Piqué and more friends could be the intention of the Basque content creator To with your new LOL equipment.

This model also has the additional point of being complementary. LVP can continue with the work of him, and as happened with the OTP official signal in France, benefit from the growth produced by an important actor in the scene. Will I leave Ibai issue Him's matches?
