We’ve combined one of the most successful teams in LEC history with the best fans in the world and with
@IbaiLlanos
who has done more to build esports than anyone. We don’t need to validate ourselves by bringing anybody else down.
We are the rising tide.
Sail along with us!
Let's make this clear: We all love Kameto and Karmine Corp, it's synonymous. Ibai has a very successful brand and stream, but to equate KOI to KC is pure delusion.
KOI was in LEC, no energy in the arena, no impact

What really aggravates me is MAD aren't here because they're good. They didn't qualify or win EMEA Masters. They're here because Elyoya liked them AND was valuable enough to his org.
Elyoya could just as easily have been wrong like so many players. We're LUCKY he was right.

To our friends at

in EMEA and NA who have been affected by the job cuts.
We can make limited positions available in Madrid, Berlin or Toronto. We are looking for those skilled in sales, the creative arts, marketing or content.
My DM’s are open.

demostrarán que nuestra pasión por el equipo va acompañada de respeto por todos. Ofrecemos respeto, no porque se nos devuelva, sino porque es lo que somos.
A great first split. We played 14 games in 3 days. G2 played 4. The team was running on fumes by the end but we still played G2 closely and grabbed a map. We learned that we can play and beat these guys. Many lessons for the spring split. This isn’t the end.
It’s the beginning!
Te escuchamos. El proyecto carecía de recursos cuando lo asumimos y, por lo tanto, es un año de aprendizaje. Estamos implementando un sistema que tendrá éxito, pero necesita tiempo. KOI siempre será una organización de primera compitiendo por campeonatos en cada juego que lleve

Adam confiamos en que harás los cambios necesarios por la gente que sigue al club, nunca he sido de este pensamiento de los canbios, pero lo visto ya no da para más, se necesita reformar este equipo.
Hey
@CODLeague
- if you want to move the online qualifiers to this kind of LAN format with a small studio audience let me know. This format rocks for story telling & engagement.
We’re willing to run it out of Toronto.
@dtsay56
I told
@IbaiLlanos
that his plan for MAD Lions was the craziest plan in the history of plans. It was impossible! We have contracts in place! MAD has never missed Worlds! What is this plan?
And then he quietly went through it step by step.
And we did it.
Hey
@MADLionsKOI

Relax.
It’s not the end of the world.
You feel a lot of pressure on your shoulders and the weight of high expectations.
It’s ok. You know who you are.
We’ve been here before.
Trust in yourselves.
Let’s go.

I am tremendously proud of our
@MADLionsKOI
team, staff and partners. It’s hard to believe that this is our second best regular season record since the change in the format in 2023. Not bad for a rookie team and a rookie coach and an experiment that was put together in December!
También un gran agradecimiento a todos nuestros nuevos fans de habla hispana de España y de todo el mundo que están descubriendo a nuestros equipos Ultra en Norteamérica. KOI será una organización internacional, pero siempre con un toque español. ¡Gracias por apoyar a nuestros

We outlasted every former player or coach. Again.
After 5 years it’s clear that our successes aren’t a function of any single point of failure. It’s the system itself.
Much love to our fans. You are our energy.

We are beginning the work on unifying our global brands.
We have hired one of the best agencies in the world to assist us.
We are building an internal team to manage the process.
One brand. One team. One world. No limits.
We will be reaching out to our fans for input.
What a day! Thank you to our fans both old and new. We have united under this project and we are one.
More records will break.
Amazing pentakill to end the first week. Life is a dream :)

Today we announced the signing of the Definitive Agreements in the acquisitions of Movistar Riders and KOI and a long-term extension of our partnership with Telefonica.
We are building something special together.
Sadly a good friend of my family passed away today. A very special person taken away too soon.
I will be away from social media for the next few days.
Please pray for her family.
I’m so proud of our team. Though we lost we showed that we have some of the best players in the world. We literally have no competition in NA and are scrimming against university kids and that week in Korea gave us the juice that we needed. But it is tough to improve as an NA
Been hearing a lot about this and it’s BS.
Texas was awarded Champs at the beginning of the year. In the worst case they might not have qualified. In the best case they win. I’m happy that they won in front of their home crowd. We wanted to win at Major III in front of our
To our
@MADLionsKOI
players and coaches:
A big win, but don't let it become the downfall. Keep your head, and your ultimate victory, intact.
This win is the beginning of a long struggle.
Our job is not done. It is just getting started.

Last full day in Spain 🇪🇸 and heading back to Canada tomorrow and I’m feeling so grateful.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the friendly people, amazing food and great times that I have when I am in Spain.
Thank-you to our amazing staff at MEC and Barcelona. It was

is a perfect union. We will do the same with the rest of our teams.
Dreams do come true. Thank-you Ibai. You are an amazing partner and a true friend.
We are significantly bigger than any other team in the west for total viewership. Nobody else aside from LOUD even comes close. Ibai has been a MAJOR benefit - but we were also

Received confirmation from
@LEC
on how final season rankings will work for playoffs.
TL;DR - if KC beats BDS - MDK is fifth. If BDS beats KC then MDK is fourth. The first two splits basically don’t matter for season playoffs unless you win.
What a pleasure it was to meet these rock stars of VALORANT in Berlin yesterday. Amazing guys, amazing team.
Tier F because we’re filled with the power of Friendship :)

Hosting live events in Spain is a BIG opportunity for us and our teams and we will make it happen. I don't want to ruin any surprises so no more comments until we're ready to announce something :)
Many thanks to
@Telefonica_En
for their heartfelt support for us and our community.
An amazing and growing relationship. Looking forward to the next ten years.
The first half of our season is over. We are solidly a top five team in the
#LEC
which is better than most expected but we want to do better.
We will take the break to pause, breathe and learn. This team has a high peak but we need to play cleaner.
Our fans are the best

Caps is the best ever European player but if he wins today he wins the Spring Split. That's not the same as a championship. If it was a championship we'd be playing in a big stadium with 10,000+ fans. Right?
