In recent weeks there have been thousands of parents who have had to do a real master’s degree to understand what their children passionately discuss with their friends. It may seem simple, but it is not a simple task for people who are not familiar with new technologies.
Getting to the Kings League concept is the initial step, but there is much more to it, as there are many who still believe that we are talking about a video game or a professional football league. Neither one thing nor the other, although the project draws from both universes. And some more. But don’t worry because we will make it as easy as possible for you.
The Kings League InfoJobs is a real football competition with seven players per team organized by the company Kosmos, whose brain is Gerard Piqué. It is contested by 12 teams presided over by some of the most important streamers and creators of Spanish-speaking content in the world, therefore, beyond the sports plan, there is a very powerful dimension to the streaming platforms in which, not only can you follow the competition, but also the interactions between them, with all the controversies and personal affronts of each day.
Some will have to resort to conventional television formats like Sálvame to understand what kind of laundry we are talking about. The one in which the main focus is not only on the contents on the table, but on the relationships and reactions of the collaborators, to the point of being able to create its own reality within the main show by embracing the smiles and more or less forced tears.
In this universe, although there are some basic rules, improvisation and the surprise effect are key. Also for a Kings League that has been “accused” by the same program of copying some of the practices of the well-known Telecinco space, such as the continuous sticking with each other or the frequent escapes from the set.
With these ingredients, it is not surprising that Gerard Piqué insisted last week in the interview that Jordi Basté gave him for El món on RAC1 that the show is even above the sporting event. Although it is a football match 7 with some known rules of the king sport, there are rules that come from other sports and other rules that go further with elements such as cards that can change the outcome of matches, in a scenario closest to the role.
Piqué has therefore come up with a project that, although it is based on football, tries to imitate the best of each sport to create its own universe that is very recognizable for footballers, but which goes through the make-up of the show to make everything much more attractive .
The matches are held in Barcelona, ??in a pavilion in the Zona Franca which for the time being does not admit the public without an invitation. But Piqué had a letter up his sleeve for the final of the first round of the competition with the announcement that it would be played at Camp Nou. And what seemed like nonsense has become reality and, not only that, but more than 90,000 tickets have been sold. The Barça stadium will once again welcome Piqué, this time with a role much closer to the one he aimed for in the future within the Barça organization.
The final of the Kings League will be a family event in which the little ones want to see their new idols up close, who are not even footballers, but the streamers who preside over each of the teams and who provide content to the project every week .
Among them there are those who already know what it is to set foot in the Camp Nou as a player, such as Kun Agüero in his last season as a player, or the Real Madrid exporter Iker Casillas. The other ten content creators are Ibai Llanos, Juan Guarnizo, Adri Contreras, Gerard Romero, Perxitaa, Rivers, Spursito, TheGrefg and the Buyer brothers.
Although there will only be four teams in the four-way Grand Final, they will all be integral to tomorrow’s show which is inspired by the American events with live performances, giant screens, a red carpet and surprises throughout the day that it will last more than seven hours. As if that weren’t enough, both Gerard Piqué and the four presidents qualified for the Final Four will arrive at Camp Nou by helicopter, in another bucolic impact for reality TV lovers who will have the image of Survivors in mind.
This January he started this project which in a few months has grown gigantically, and will grow even more. Towards the month of May, the second round of the Kings League will begin and the women’s Queens League will begin.
In addition, Piqué also announced that negotiations are underway for the final of the second round to be in an even more surprising place, and perhaps even outside of Spain. Many countries have already shown interest in his project. Without a doubt, Gerard’s motto is clear: “The show must go on”. Always.
