The Spanish Twitch community is one of the largest as the platform has got stars such as Ibai Llanos from the platform. He has been a consistent streamer on Twitch, leading to a steady flow of viewers every month. Last year, he retained his record of being the most-watched Spanish Twitch streamer and the third-most watched worldwide.

The Spanish internet personality has not just restricted himself to streaming, as he is often seen working as an eSports caster, and he’s quite good at it. This is evident from the fact that he has been awarded as the Streamer of the Year award twice at one of the most prestigious platforms, Esports Awards.

Ibai has presented a unique content every time, which is the primary reason why he is considered as one of the best streamers on the platform who goes at par with Canadian streamer Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel. Despite streaming, he also takes active interest in football as several Spanish footballers such as Gerard Pique were seen in his livestream.

With him making this huge revelation, the whole community is at a loss for words and wishes to know whether his condition can be cured. The streamer has replied that he will continue the usage of the sleep apnea machine, which might increase the possibility of saving the right eye.

Fans react to Ibai’s announcement

Redditors expressed their disappointment to hear this news and also hoped that the streamer is able to recover quickly. Others provided an example of other streamers who had developed a similar condition.

Ibai will be hosting the King’s League with Gerard Pique where several footballers and other streamers will be seen playing a tournament. Fans hope that he is able to recover quickly before the tournament is hosted.
