ISL’s Tandhem player Luis “Koldo” Pérez was presented yesterday as one of Koi’s players – the new esports team founded by Ibai Llanos, one of the biggest Spanish streamers, and FC Barcelona star Gerard Piqué.
The Koi presentation took place at Barcelona‘s Palau St. Jordi, with a full house of more than 15.000 attendees. The tickets were sold out only 5 minutes after their release, and the event was live streamed on Ibai Llanos’ Twitch channel to over 300.000 viewers.
ISL attended the presentation, where Ibai and Piqué unveiled Koi’s LoL team members, content creators, and sponsors, including Disney+ and Cupra.
There was also a live draft of a car valued in 36.000€, and a show match against the French world renowned team Karmine Corp, which was the first victory for Squad Koi by 2-1.
In less than one day, Koi gathered half a million followers on Twitter and Instagram, surpassing many established esports teams, such Kcorp themselves.
We at ISL are thrilled to join this ground-breaking and innovative project with our Tandhem Esports branch.
Tandhem stands out by its unique capacity to identify and develop new soccer and esports youth talent.
Koldo is one of the numerous promising talents managed by Tandhem,
Born on November 7th, 2000 in Murcia, Spain, under the name of Luis Pérez, Koldo is a League of Legends jungler, previously playing for G2 Artic. He is very excited about joining Koi and looks forward to beginning this new challenge.
“I’m glad to be here, and very happy with the team, the club and this opportunity” Koldo said during his presentation speech at Palau Sant Jordi.
Koldo and the rest of the team will compete in the LVP and live at the Gaming House – an esports villa especially designed for high performance esports players.
