Information obtained from various sources revealed that Ibai Llanos, better known as Ibai, is preparing to part ways with the company Infinite Reality, which owns the esports organization KOI. He made this decision after extensive discussions with the current heads of KOI and former owners of Rogue, whose brand is represented by KOI.
According to a source from Sheep Esports, this decision has been in the works for several months and hints at the possibility of Ibai starting a new project. No details or confirmations have emerged yet, so at the moment, this information remains a rumor.
It's known that Ibai and his partner Gerard Piqué joined Infinite Reality after the merger of Rogue and KOI last year. This merger led to the dissolution of the Rogue brand, and all teams were rebranded under the Spanish streamer's brand.
Ibai's departure could have a significant impact on KOI future as a whole, especially in light of the upcoming 2024 season, as the loss of financial support might become a problem for the team.
It's worth noting that KOI struggled in the current competitive season; their recent performances at VCT 2023: São Paulo and VCT 2023: EMEA League were not successful. The failure at VCT 2023: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier was the team's biggest disappointment, as it was an opportunity to compete in the past World Championship.
