KOI – this is the name of an organization founded by Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué and Ibai “Ibaia” Llanos, one of the biggest European streamers. The duo held a special event on Wednesday during which the League of Legends team was officially presented. The arena filled with fans showcased the band’s official jerseys, line-up and more.
Karmine Corp played against KOI
Another well-known European organization, Karmine Corp., also appeared at the event. In 2021, the team won the European Masters Cup twice, and in the slowly ending transfer window it won such stars as Martin “Rekkles” Larssen. This made Karmine Corp one of the most popular esports organizations on the Old Continent today.
Karmine Corp showed up at the KOI presentation in order to play a friendly match with the newly presented formation to the world. This finally ended with the victory of Piqué and Ibai, which with the result 2: 1 turned out to be better than their rivals. The match itself drew a huge number of viewers in front of the screens.
Almost half a million viewers at the peak of the meeting
According to esports charts, which collects data on major sporting events, the KOI-Karmine Corp clash was watched by 477,279 people at its peak. Such a result is very impressive, the more so as it was only a friendly match.
Moreover, it is not the end of friendly skirmishes between the two teams. Both of them are to stand for a rematch, and this time Karmine Corp will be the host. The meeting is scheduled for January 8 in Paris.
