Ibai Llanos Garatea is a Spanish internet personality, Twitch streamer, esports caster, and entrepreneur who has become one of the most influential digital creators in the Spanish-speaking world. Born on March 26, 1995, in Bilbao, in the Basque Country of Spain, Ibai grew up during a period of economic hardship — the 2008 financial crisis destabilized his family, and he took refuge in video games, particularly League of Legends. That passion eventually became the foundation of a remarkable career.
Ibai began his professional journey in 2014 at age 19, commentating on League of Legends matches for the Liga de Videojuegos Profesional (LVP), one of the world’s largest esports organizations. His natural wit, exuberant energy, and deep game knowledge made him immediately popular, earning him Trasgo de Oro awards for Best Caster from 2015 through 2018. In February 2019, he expanded into television as a host on the late-night show Hoy No Se Sale on the Ubeat network, bringing his personality to a mainstream Spanish audience. He later joined G2 Esports as a content creator before departing in January 2021 to go fully independent.
Since becoming an independent creator, Ibai’s growth has been extraordinary. His Twitch channel — where he streams entirely in Spanish — has surpassed 19.8 million followers, making it the second most-followed channel on the entire platform globally, a remarkable achievement for a non-English-speaking creator. His YouTube channel has over 11 million subscribers with more than 3 billion views. In June 2022, he broke a Twitch record when his Fortnite outfit reveal stream attracted over 3.3 million concurrent viewers. He has organized La Velada del Año, a boxing event featuring Spanish-speaking streamers, which has become one of the most-watched live events in Twitch history. In 2021, he co-founded the KOI esports organization with former FC Barcelona star Gerard Piqué, competing in League of Legends, Valorant, and Teamfight Tactics.
Ibai has been named Streamer of the Year by the Esports Awards in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and won multiple ESLAND Awards. He was declared Spain’s most influential social media influencer by Forbes Spain in 2021. His estimated net worth is $14-16 million, generated through Twitch subscriptions, YouTube ad revenue, brand deals with companies like Banco Santander, and his KOI business ventures. Despite his massive success, Ibai is known for his humble, approachable personality and has been open about the importance of mental health and genuine connection with his audience.
