The playoffs and the Kings League Final Four are here
The end of the Kings League is just around the corner. So much so that today (we are writing this post on Friday, March 24) the quarterfinals of the playoff of this tournament created by Gerard Piqué and supported by famous streamers led by Ibai Llanos are taking place. And on Sunday, March 26, the great Final Four will be held at Camp Nou with an expected attendance of 90,000! As we said, the driving force behind the Kings League is the now retired footballer Piqué, supported by the renowned Ibai Llanos. The quarterfinals will be held, as usual in this competition, at the Cupra Arena, where all the matches have been played so far. After the eleven rounds played in this first edition of the competition chaired by the former Barça player, on March 24 the knockout round will take place from which the 4 teams that will compete in the much-anticipated Final Four will emerge. Where to watch the grand final held at Camp Nou? The Final Four will be broadcast live through the Twitch platform. For those who cannot watch live, they can also see it on La Liga’s YouTube channel, but this time on delay, so they will have to try not to look for information about it if they don’t want to spoil the result, something that seems very difficult given all the buzz expected this weekend. Playoff matchups and where to watch them Friday, March 24 at 5:00 PM: Saiyans FC - Kunisports Friday, March 24 at 6:30 PM: Los Troncos FC - XBUYER TEAM Friday, March 24 at 8:00 PM: Porcinos FC - Aniquiladores FC Friday, March 24 at 9:30 PM: Ultimate Móstoles - El Barrio These four matches can be followed on the usual channels of the rest of the tournament, that is, the official Kings League Twitch and the channels of the different streamers who are presidents of the championship. The Final Four matchups will be as follows Winner of Ultimate Móstoles – El Barrio vs. winner of Saiyans FC – Kunisports. Winner of Porcinos FC – Aniquiladores FC vs. winner of Los Troncos FC – Xbuyer Team. Final: Winner of semifinal 1 vs. winner of semifinal 2 The greatness of the creativity behind the Kings League format It has been more than two months of matches every Sunday in which this new, yet very popular, competition has brought together millions of people around football broadcast on Twitch, something as groundbreaking as successful. In fact, the match on February 26 in which football star Ronaldinho took the field with Ibai Santos’s team, Porcinos F.C., gathered more than 2 million viewers! And indeed, the Kings League is full of well-known faces from the world of sports and streaming, such as Casillas, Agüero, TheGrefg, or Rivers. Without a doubt, this is one of its great successes, but the Kings League format is full of insight to become a disruptive and innovative tournament. One of the successes of this league that has revolutionized the world of football is its alternative rules to classic football rules, which have also been chosen by popular vote through social media. Among them stands out the possibility of using secret weapons that can change the course of the match, such as expelling rival players or canceling goals. If Ibai and Piqué have been able to come up with all this for this first season of the Kings League, what surprises will they have in store for us for the second season, which is scheduled to start in May?
