This week in the world of Ibai Llanos has been, as always, full of headlines, bold decisions, and the kind of professional pivots that keep him at the center of Spanish and global internet culture. Perhaps the most significant news, and one which will define his biographical legacy, is his public confirmation of a major shift away from Twitch streaming in 2025. According to Marca, Ibai himself shared with his audience that he will dramatically reduce his annual streaming hours from 1400 to around 500, a cut he described as necessary for personal growth and the pursuit of “new adventures.” While streaming remains his “natural habitat,” Ibai emphasized a desire for more creative freedom and a need to focus on his YouTube channel, citing that the intensity and routine of daily streaming has left him craving a new challenge. He was candid about turning down a lucrative offer from Kick “more than double” what Twitch proposed, explaining on air that the money was tempting, but his heart was not in the so-called “green platform.” Instead, his future will center around high-production YouTube content, travel, and family time, with Ibai promising that fans will see a reinvigorated channel starting January or February—with plenty of new formats and large-scale productions coordinated by a rapidly expanding creative team. That move alone is poised to redefine the boundaries of content creation in Spain and beyond.
On the event front, while Ibai is stepping back from some traditions—confirming he will not host the iconic New Year’s “Campanadas” for the first time since 2019—he is not leaving his audience hungry for spectacle. La Velada del Año 5 is fully confirmed, this time moving the popular boxing extravaganza to the 80,000-seat Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla, following last year’s record-setting crowds at Santiago Bernabéu, as Okdiario reports. Expect a jaw-dropping live show, a full card of creators-turned-boxers, and global musical acts with millions following online. Other landmark events that Ibai has personally confirmed include the Kings League World Cup and a new edition of his charitable Ibainéfico, with this year’s funds earmarked for victims of recent floods—a philanthropic streak that has become a recurring note in his trajectory. Fans of his gaming roots can also look forward to League of Legends Worlds 2025 coverage and not one, but two major, yet-to-be fully unveiled gaming events with other top creators.
On the business side, Ibai remains a central figure at Movistar KOI. As reported by Sheep Esports, he recently announced on a KOI talk show that the organization will retain its entire LEC roster for 2026 and is expanding its academy system, signaling a long-term commitment to nurturing Spanish and international esports talent. Negotiations are ongoing to secure extended contracts for their top players and coaching staff. This approach may not make daily headlines, but it marks Ibai as a key builder in Spain’s modern esports infrastructure.
Adding to the intrigue, Spanish outlets report that Ibai recently sold his spectacular mansion in Catalonia for around 3.5 million euros, upgrading his living environment and fueling speculation on social media about his growing fortune—which experts now estimate between 5 and 15 million euros. With 19.8 million Twitch followers and 11 million on Instagram according to international reports, his reach and influence remain unmatched in the Spanish-speaking world.
Whether he’s teasing an upcoming Game of Squid-style event on Twitch with a 27000 euro prize, or simply engaging his followers with candid talks about burnout and reinvention, Ibai’s every move still makes waves—in fact, you can expect a major Twitch event on his channel within the next 24 hours, as he personally announced. According to Marca and 20Minutos, every strategic shift and heartfelt confession has fans and industry watchers buzzing about where Ibai Llanos will take his legend next.
