In recent weeks there are thousands of fathers and mothers who have had to do a real master’s degree to understand what their children comment with passion. It may seem simple, but it is not a flat task for those people who do not get along with new technologies.
Getting to the concept of the Kings League is the initial step, but there is much more, since there are many who still believe that we are talking about a video game or a professional soccer league. Neither one thing nor the other, although the project drinks from both universes. and some more. Let it not happen We will make it as easy as possible for you.
The Kings League Injojobs is a real soccer competition with seven players per team organized by the company Kosmos, whose brain is Gerard Piqué. It is disputed by 12 prison teams for some of the biggest Spanish-speaking streamers and content creators in the world, so, beyond the sports level, there is a very powerful dimension on streaming platforms where you can not only follow the competition, but also also the interactions between them, with all the controversies and personal affronts of each day.
Some will have to resort to conventional television formats such as Sálvame to understand what kind of sauce we are talking about. The one in which the main focus is not only on the content on the table, but on the relationships and reactions of the collaborators, to the point of being able to create their own reality within the main show, embracing smiles and tears. more or less forced.
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 program itself of copying some of the practices of the well-known Telecinco space, such as the continuous disagreements between them or the frequent scares on set.
With these ingredients, it is not surprising that Gerard Piqué insisted last week in the interview that Jordi Basté did for El mon a RAC1 that the show is even above the sporting event. And it is that despite being a 7-a-side football match with some well-known rules of the king of sports, there are regulations that come from other sports and other rules that go further with elements such as cards that can change the course of the matches, in a scenario closer to the role.
Piqué has therefore devised a project that, although it is based on football, tries to imitate the best of each sport to create a very recognizable universe for football fans, but that goes through the tuning of the show so that everything is much more attractive.
The matches are held in Barcelona, ??in a pavilion in the Zona Franca that for now does not admit the public if it does not go with an invitation. But Piqué had a card up his sleeve for the final of the first round of the competition with the announcement that it would be played at the Camp Nou. And what seemed like nonsense has come true and, not only that, but more than 90,000 tickets have been sold. The Barça stadium will receive Piqué again, this time with a role much closer to the one he pointed out in the future within the Barça entity. The Kings League final will be a family event where the little ones want to see their new idols up close, who are not even the footballers, but the streamers who preside over each of the teams and who provide the project with content every week.
Among them there are those who already know what it is like to step on the Camp Nou as a player, like Kun Agüero in his last season as a player, or the former Real Madrid goalkeeper 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, all of them will be a fundamental part of Sunday’s show that is inspired by American events with live performances, giant screens, red carpet and surprises throughout the day that will last for more seven hours. As if that were not enough, both Gerard Piqué and the four presidents classified for the Final Four will arrive at the Camp Nou by helicopter, in another bucolic image for lovers of reality television who will have the image of Survivors in mind.
This project started last January and in just a few months it has grown enormously, and more than ever. Looking ahead to May, the second round of the Kings League will begin and the women’s Queens League will begin. In addition, Piqué announced that they are negotiating so that the final of the second round is in an even more surprising place, and it could be outside of Spain. Many countries have already taken an interest in the project. Undoubtedly, Gerard’s motto is clear: The show must go on. Always.
