Love him or hate him, it is undeniable that Ibai Llanos is one of the most important personalities on the internet. This year, he surprised locals and strangers with the second edition of La Velada del Año, a boxing event that brought together multiple Spanish-speaking content creators and made history on Twitch.
In mid-2022, it was revealed that the event led by the Basque streamer had an impressive peak of 3.3 million viewers during a moment of the broadcast, setting a new record on the platform. Let’s remember that TheGrefg got 2,468,668 simultaneous viewers at the beginning of 2021 during the special live show in which he showed his skin of Fortnite.
Now, almost 6 months after this impressive feat, it was Twitch itself who confirmed the new record and took the opportunity to recognize Ibai Llanos and his entire community. It also presented a special emote that is now available to all users of the streaming platform.

Twitch announced through a post on Twitter that The Evening of the Year II broke a new record by getting 3.3 million simultaneous viewers. In addition, he sent a trophy in the form of boxing gloves to Ibai Llanos to recognize the effort that was necessary to carry out this event, which took place in the Olympic Pavilion in Badalona, Spain, in June of this year.
Likewise, the streaming platform presented a new free emote of a pair of boxing gloves to commemorate this unprecedented achievement. The emoticon is now available and users can use it in any live stream.
YOU MADE HISTORY.

As reported from the portal tarreo, data from the third-party site Stream Charts supports the feat of the Spanish content creator. Of course, The Evening of the Year II was not the most watched Twitch event of the year, since Z Event 2022 and Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 Online are positioned in first and second place, respectively.
Of course, the boxing event was the one that obtained the highest peak of simultaneous viewers.
With the success of the second edition, Ibai Llanos is already preparing La Velada del Año III. Details remain scant, but it is speculated that it will take place during the summer of next year. The participants are a mystery, but El Rubius and xQc have already raised their hands to get into the ring.
