Ibai became famous in the esports community as an Announcer/commentator across various League of Legends matches and made a name for himself. After that, he went on to become a streamer for G2 Esports for one year and then co-founded his esports team, KOI, in December 2021.
Ibai’s track of breaking records
The first iteration of La Velada saw over 1.5 million viewers, which was broken by TheGrefg. His second iteration of La Velada then went to cross over 3.3 million back in 2022 beating TheGrefg’s record of 2.7 million. The following year with the third iteration in 2023 saw Ibai break his record with over 3.4 million viewers, although it could have been more if not for Twitch capping the count.

This is the third time the streamer has broken his viewership record. Ibai even brought in Hollywood Superstar Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith along with Football Start Marc Cucurella and Nico Williams to perform at the event, which was a big surprise for the fans.
