Who is Ibai Llanos , and why couldn't the streaming world's audience recognize him? Ibai Llanos is a streamer from Spain who recently was able to achieve the unexpected during "La Velada del Año" fifth annual event. The event with the blend of influencer boxing, sheer spectacle, and celebrity appearances has previously smashed viewership records (consistently). Ibai, who is a former esports commentator and the co-founder of the KOI, commands one of the largest global followings on Twitch and YouTube channels. It exceeds 11 million subscribers. Ibai, though, comes from a different streaming hemisphere. Despite being a giant, the core audience and content style focused by him diverge from streamers like xQc. The dominance of Ibai is deeply rooted within the Spanish-speaking world. It is built on the massive and thoroughly produced events. Now, despite the large following, reaction from the streaming world questioning Ibai's identity is potentially because of the linguistic and cultural divide in streaming events. It shows that even the unprecedented success could remain invisible to the segments of one's own community. It even shows that creators are still underestimated by viewers, if they do not speak english. To such viewers, these streamers are unknown, irrespective of the impact they create in the streaming world. Ibai Llanos broke his viewership record Ibai rompió récord en Twitch con #veladadelaño5 Ibai's La Velada del Año V event was held at La Cartuja Stadium, Sevilla. This year did not just break the viewership record, but Ibai's previous Twitch viewership record, too. It surpassed his 6.7 million viewership's previous record. The numbers are staggering, and they far exceed peaks set even by the massive streamers like TheGrefg and Kai Cenat. Historic Twitch Record Broken! The achievement shows that the non-English streamers, particularly from Latin America and Spain, aren't just growing, but they are setting benchmarks for the live viewership. Ibai has consistently occupied Twitch's top spots in all-time rankings as one of the Spanish streamers. He has proved the immense power of large-scale and localized event streaming. His current success clearly signals a bright and undeniable future. It even shows that the next record-shattering moment can come from anyone or anywhere at all.
