The first edition of the Queens League 2023 comes to an end. This Saturday, July 29, at the Cívitas Metropolitano, not only will the winning team be decided, but it will also seek to be the event of streaming greatest female of all time.
This ‘league of queens’ has a quarry of players who leave their cleats and not their heels on the playing field. Now, a few hours before the final is played, nerves are on the surface because they have a very clear objective: to give a show and that women’s football has the prominence it deserves.
In this first women’s edition of the Queens League (Counterpart of the Kings League of Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos) in which great streamers with their teams and who broadcast the matches through their channels, viewers witness not only great goals and saves, but also tears and joy, but above all the complicity between the players and their captains.
This complicity has managed to create an unusual expectation for what can happen in the Final Four, so much so that the number of users of the first is expected to double. More matches, live musical performances, Red Bull motorcycle stunts, the Battles of Gallos and more surprises. It will be as big an event in terms of duration as the Year 3 Revelry he will face in the semifinal 1 of the Queens League xBuyer Team against Las Troncas FC and in semifinal 2 it will be the turn of Porcinas FC vs PIO FC. While, in the Kings League ‘playoffs’ it will be the turn of Anniquiladores FC vs El Barrio and in the second semifinal, Porcinos FC vs XBuyer Team.
The reasons for the success of the Kings and Queens League
To date, they are 323,000 spectators those who have enjoyed during the Week 2 clash between Swine FC y Jijantas FC, according to data collected ‘Esports Bureau’. Many users wonder why so many views and there are several reasons.
On the one hand they offer you a unique experience, fans enjoy a fast game, with innovative rules and that converts football in some kind of game TikTok, through live broadcasts on Twitch. On the other hand, as they are teams owned by two of the biggest Twitch stars in Spain, Ibai Llanos and Gerard Romerorespectively, has helped attract some spectacular audiences.
But, they are not the only ones, too Other captains are influential, such as Violeta with her team Las Troncas FC, Mayichi with 1KGemita with Porcinas FC, Rivers with Pio FC, Espe with Aniquiladoras FC, and even the Ultimate Móstoles team led by Noe or the Kunitas team led by sports journalist Morena Beltrán.
Bearing in mind that the competition in its regular phase has reached 9.7 million hours watched and 135,000 average viewers during a broadcast time of 72 hours, a question arises. Thanks to the Queens League, is the work of the ‘streamers’ visible in an environment led by the male presence?
The Queens League, more than to make visible the streamers has served to enhance the Women’s Football. “She has helped give a voice and a vote to girls who have incredible potential and who if it weren’t for Queens would not be known”, she has confessed the streamer Mayichi, president of 1K Soccer Club a THE SPANISH NEWSPAPERfrom the Iberian Press group.
Therefore, it is a new door that opens to publicize the work and daily effort of the players. In this highly publicized debate on social networks, he agrees Violeta, president of the Las Troncas FC team.
“Queens has not given visibility to the female ‘streamer’, it had already been given before, but it has given women’s football and it manages to give it more exposure and reach, since the players are the focus of attention,” he explained in an interview with this journal. However, the participation of the women ‘streamer’ has made “everything add up”, she has added.
This new way of understanding football in association with other internet personalities and ‘streamers’ has left its mark both on the protagonists who risk everything on the field of play, and on the captains who leave their skin advising and motivate the team.
For example, Violet has witnessed since its inception the growth, evolution and learning of this soccer league 7 in which the matches last forty minutes. “A totally different content that I made and consumed from the one that I have been lucky from minute one because my partner was already there, not only now as president, but also in the first ‘split’ and I have seen the whole process of growth, suffering and enjoy at the same time.”
And that is why she knows what to say and when to cheer on her team, of which she feels very proud both on a sporting and human level. “I tell the players that they enjoy themselves on the field, without pressure for what happens outside and that they take advantage of it because it is a unique experience”, has stressed between smiles. As it is not like a normal season as it can be in traditional football, the matches go very quickly, so “a lot happens in a very short time and sometimes we forget to enjoy it.”
Past and future of the ‘streamers’, according to Violeta and Mayichi
Maichi With more than 1.8 million followers on Twitch, earning the podium for being one of the most followed streamers, she started creating content from 2015 until two or three years ago, she did feel lonely, “I really played by myself” and as a result of the pandemic, collaborations between various content creators increased and made there more unity.
“There were several times when the situation overwhelmed me and I wanted to quit,” but thanks to the support, he continues in his daily struggle to try to make his followers smile. “It really fills you to know that you fill a person and having my community made me want to keep fighting and not give up“.
At the beginning, there was a moment when for her it was all countryside, everything was very green and very different. As new things arrive, she adapts and the whole journey has made her train as a ‘streamer’. Both the mistakes and the new discoveries have forged a proud and happy Mayichi for her journey with some very present references both internationally, with Pokimane, and nationally, such as Cristinini, due to her versatility and power.
For his part, Violet It was successful on YouTube from the first video, back in January 2018 with more than 680,000 views. This data is especially relevant because there were practically no women in this virtual environment, later and already advised by her partner Perxitaa, also a ‘youtuber’ and ‘gamer’, she decided to jump into the world of ‘streaming’.
Until then, and due to the pandemic, she was working remotely as a children’s teacher and orchestra singer in order to continue sharing content with her community. “For me, luckily I have never felt discrimination, I have always surrounded myself with colleagues and they have treated me as one of the others, they have protected me and they have taken great care of me”Violeta has detailed.
The community as a reflection of the ‘streamer’
The captain of the semifinalist team Las Troncas FC that will face off against the xBuyer Team this Saturday at the Cívitas Metropolitano, aspiring to be the winning team, has indicated in the interview to this medium that they also She is proud of her community and that during her career she has felt the support of users.
“The community is the reflection of the ‘streamer’ because users end up seeing the content of live broadcasters who share the same values or ways of being. The reflection of Violeta’s followers are calm and very happy people. “My community is similar to me, very ‘happy’.” Through her channel, she tries to make it a meeting point to disconnect and feel like a family despite being thousands of kilometers away.
It is a profession that a priori may seem very “cool”, because they are traveling on most occasions, or from the sofa at home, but all that glitters is not gold. For Violeta, there is a mental part that is difficult to manage given the uncertainty of a fixed salary, the number of daily views that can vary in a matter of hours, the pace of trends is dizzying or the workload. It varies and “everything changes so fast, it’s like a roller coaster.” For this reason, she is aware that you have to constantly train and enjoy the present.
In addition, the captain of K1 FC, who shares a team with Iker Casillas, recommends that those who see a future in the job market as a ‘streamer’ not lose their essence, charisma and affection because it is something that is transmitted and felt . “So being yourself will always be the key, knowing how to communicate can be learned.” In this sense, she advises think positive, despite the negative comments that can be perceived on the networks by the ‘haters’. “Getting nasty comments just because you’re a woman or what you do is never nice (…) Unfortunately guys get negative comments too.”
