YouTube has confirmed the launch of 1080p Premium, a new video quality option with an improved bit rate, exclusive to its Premium users.
Is it possible to watch YouTube videos better than 1080p? The answer is: yes, and without the need to put them in 2K or 4K. YouTube has confirmed that it is testing an option to watch videos in “1080p Premium”. According to The Verge, this new option, which would feature 1080p with better video quality, is currently available to “a small group of subscribers to YouTube Premium,” YouTube’s subscription service.
“1080p Premium is an enhanced version of the 1080p bitrate that provides more information per pixel resulting in a higher quality viewing experience,” YouTube spokesperson Paul Pennington told The Verge. The company also states that “there are no changes to the existing quality offerings for 1080p (HD) resolution on YouTube”, so the quality of standard 1080p would not be affected.
The resolution of a video is not everything, and there are more factors that determine its quality. Two of the characteristics that most influence the quality of a video are the bitrate and the color depth. While the latter determines the color range of a video and its hues, the bitrate determines the amount of data that is transferred in each second of a video.
With YouTube’s new option for its Premium users (who usually enjoy extra or experimental features), videos on the platform would run at 13 Mbps (as confirmed by a Reddit user with access to the feature), while standard videos on YouTube are viewed at around 8Mbps. Even so, the bitrate of videos on YouTube is variable, so it will go down or up depending on what can be seen on screen.
The feature for YouTube Premium users comes on the heels of Radio Builder, the new YouTube Music feature that allows platform users to create their own radio stations. These functions are in addition to the many launched by the platform at the end of October 2022, which added the possibility of activating a “dark mode” of its interface or zooming in videos, among others.
The leaks don't stop. Now, we know that the next iPhone 15 will be very efficient and also have great battery life.
You may think that one of the most important features of a smartphone should be the processor. A fast terminal is something that many of us ask for in order to be able to perform all kinds of tasks without suffering any kind of “lag” or delay. However, there is one specific component that has been gaining more and more popularity and importance: the screen.
Smartphones have become small multimedia centers that we carry everywhere and one of the essential parts for this is the screen. Nowadays, having a bright, quality and efficient panel is becoming a priority for many manufacturers. And this is just what is happening with Apple: according to a report by Economic Daily News, the part that will control the future OLED screen of the iPhone will consume less energy.
The truth is that the screen is one of the most battery-consuming elements of a cell phone. In the end, we all want our iPhone to last until the end of the day without problems. This was one of the great joys brought by the iPhone 11, which managed to greatly increase its autonomy compared to previous generations.
While the iPhone 12 didn’t improve it too much (the iPhone 12 mini suffered the most here), the iPhone 13 made another small leap in terms of battery. However, the Economic Daily News report comes on the heels of word in December that there could be big battery improvements thanks to the new processor (likely called the A17 Bionic).
The improvement would be possible thanks to the change in chip manufacturing, which would make the leap to the improved 3 nm process. As a result, it would be much more efficient, although it is up to Apple to use this advantage to increase battery life or go for an even higher performance if possible.
More and more leaks: iPhone 15 is an open secret
The leaks around the iPhone 15 do not stop. One of the latest rumors indicate that we have a change in the update system, which will affect especially those who want to access the developer betas. However, there are still many months to go before the launch of the future iPhone 15 and its history is still to be written.
The Mozilla Foundation would have found discrepancies between the security information displayed in the Google Play Store and the privacy policies of the apps.
Are the apps that users download the most from the Google Play Store really reliable? Maybe not as much as we think. The Mozilla Foundation, creator of the famous Mozilla Firefox browser, has carried out an investigation in which it allegedly discovered “serious gaps” in the data security labels of apps such as TikTok, Twitter or Facebook.
According to The Verge, 80 percent of the 40 most downloaded apps reportedly have discrepancies between the information in the data security section of Google Play and the privacy policies displayed by the apps.
Last year, Google debuted its data privacy section in the Google Play Store, making developers solely responsible for providing “complete and accurate disclosures” about all information collected by their apps hosted in the app store.
According to Mozilla, the data security form that developers must sign would feature loose definitions for concepts such as “collection” or “sharing,” and would not require registered apps to report what data is shared with “service providers.” For these reasons, it would not accurately reflect what user data is actually collected.
16 of the 40 apps analyzed by Mozilla, including the top 20 free apps and the top 20 paid apps (such as Twitter or Facebook), were rated “poor”, and another 15 apps (such as YouTube, WhatsApp or TikTok) received a “needs improvement” rating. Only 6 of the apps were rated as acceptable, including Google Play Games, Candy Crush Saga and Terraria.
Faced with these assessments, Google issued a statement dismissing the study and discrediting Mozilla’s rating system: “This report confuses company-wide privacy policies, which are intended to cover a variety of products and services, with individual data security labels, which inform users about the data a specific app collects,” a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.
This is not the first time that controversy has knocked on the door of the Google Play Store. At the end of September last year, a group of researchers discovered that nearly a hundred apps hosted on both Google’s app store and Apple’s App Store were committing ad fraud.
A curious TikTok augmented reality filter that rejuvenates the user's image is being a success on the social network.
What would you do if you met your past self? Surely you would have many things to tell him/her and many events to warn him/her about. Fortunately or unfortunately, until someday we figure out how to time travel (if we can, that is), it’s a possibility we’ll never get to live. Or at least not completely.
An augmented reality filter from TikTok is the sensation of the moment. Why? For making you look like a teenager again. The filter shows you yourself in duplicate: on the one hand, the “real you,” and on the other, the “past you,” with much smoother, smoother skin and a much more youthful look (obviously, it won’t do anything if you’re still a kid). And all this instantly.
What, a priori, might seem like a simple rejuvenation filter as the classic included in photo apps, has stirred the feelings of many users of the social network of short videos that, before its last version, have returned to witness the appearance with which they saw themselves in the mirror several years ago.
This is the case, for example, of the TikTok user @thecaribbeanpearl, who in a video that already has more than 500,000 views and more than 10,000 likes is surprised by her rejuvenated appearance and even touches her face, incredulous at what her own eyes see. Something shared by some of the people who responded to her video and who also tried the augmented reality filter: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her”, comments one of the users.
But not everything is so emotional on TikTok. As is the case with almost every social network fad, other people have jumped on the bandwagon just for the laughs. While some just joke about the results of the filter, commenting that as teenagers they didn’t have such smooth, acne-free skin (something many of us suffer from), others just make fun of the “dramatic” reactions they see.
We make a list of Three Kings of what we would like to see.
There is still no date for Grand Theft Auto 6 -and that is the only reality-. Although we have confirmed a lot of data thanks to the leaks we have been receiving, either from users, former employees or specialized press, the key is that we still don’t even know if it will be called GTA 6 or what its release date is.
Despite all this, in this post we are not going to talk about rumors or hypotheses, but about what we would like to see in this GTA 6 from Rockstar Games.
Dual history at all times
The story of Michael, Franklin and Trevor enchanted us in Grand Theft Auto V for many reasons, from how different the three characters were to how their plots intertwined. However, what made it especially relevant was that we could choose one of them at any time. Unless the story required it, with the push of a button we could select a character and control him or her instantly. A marvel.
In GTA 6 we know that we will manage two characters, Lucia and Jason. Both are siblings, but with totally opposite lives: while one wants to rise to the top of a drug cartel, the other seeks to do so in the police. Being able to play them interchangeably is a must. Also, with two such different roles, the possibilities of enjoying very colorful moments seem necessary.
Not bigger, but more quality
Thanks to all the leaks we know that the adventure takes us to the Vice City of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City -that is, in the present time-. At the map level, it is not so much asked to be huge, but to have quality.
The leaks reveal that we will be facing the largest map of the saga by far. However, more does not always translate into better. At the player level, it is optimal that the areas of large cities and countryside are combined with mastery, as in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
In GTA V, for example, some areas already resented, where it gave the impression that they were placed more to fill land than for the use of it itself. Therefore, we would like it to be big, yes, but above all, we would like it to have quality. We prefer something small and very good rather than big and without substance.
A change of formula
Grand Theft Auto has been using the same narrative formula since its origins, although since Grand Theft Auto 3 it is, perhaps, the most identifiable. This has also been transferred to other Rockstar Games games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, and here comes the key to everything. The narrative formula in the cowboy game already began to suffer.
Here I enjoyed Arthur‘s adventure like a dwarf, but that does not exempt that it was seen the seams to little that one played Rockstar titles. The company has to change the formula and get closer to modern variants in open world games, as in the case of Elden Ring, where the player explores without the need to be guided at all times. Is this a breakthrough compared to what GTA proposes with so many icons on screen and so on? Yes, of course, but it could be great to have a mixed mode.
And so much for some features we would like to see in the next GTA 6. Of course we want cars, weapons and the usual hallmarks of the saga, as well as GTA Online 2, but we believe it is more important to bet on that which may be divergent from the above.
Chapter 7 of The Last of us adapts the events of the Left Behind DLC and explains the story of Ellie and Riley, before meeting Joel.
If there is something that The Last of Us series headed by Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin is proving, it is that there is still a lot left to tell about its story. While at first many doubted that the adaptation could contribute anything to the video game, throughout the chapters it has been shown that, in this new format, very interesting narrative layers can be reached.
It is in the pauses, in the moments away from the frenetic action of the video game, where the HBO Max series contributes the most. We already saw it in episode 3, in which the plot took a pause to tell the beautiful homosexual love story between Bill and Frank. And now we have seen it again, with an episode 7 that has lived up to one of the most remembered moments of the saga.
Left Behind: getting to know Ellie’s backstory
Episode 7 of The Last of Us begins where the sixth episode left off. That is, after Joel is stabbed and loses consciousness. At that point, Ellie must take the reins of the situation and become his protector, reversing the roles they had played so far. But, at that point, the game takes the license to make a time jump to Ellie’s past, adapting the events of The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC.
In this regressive journey we meet a slightly younger Ellie, albeit a few months earlier. The first thing we see of her is her routine in the military quarantine zone in Boston, Massachusetts. Raised in this place, we see how she prepares herself in school, through all kinds of activities, for her future there.
However, she soon gets into a fight with a bully, which leads her to remember how much she misses Riley, her best friend who disappeared a few weeks ago. This fact makes Ellie very angry, but everything changes when Riley returns and explains what happened: she had left because she is about to turn 17.
At the age of 17, in the Boston military zone, every young person is assigned a job, and she was assigned to be a sanitary worker. Fed up with the situation and looking for a less mundane life, she went with Marlene (whom we all know well by now), who introduced her to a group of Fireflies. This conversation pisses Ellie off even more, but she ends up understanding her.
Together they visit an abandoned shopping mall, and start doing everything they can to make up for lost time. They ride a merry-go-round, take several photos together in a photo booth – an emblematic moment of both the series and the game – and play Tekken 2 and other arcade games. Little by little, it becomes clear that what unites them is more than a simple friendship, but after an argument over Riley’s departure, Ellie ends up leaving… only to return shortly after.
After a ride worthy of a horror movie – but in which nothing happens in the end – Ellie and Riley dress up in a Halloween costume at a costume store and dance together. After a while of dancing, the moment arrives: Ellie kisses Riley. She soon apologizes, but Riley replies, “Why?”, making it clear that she liked it. At that moment, they decide to elope together, and Riley makes the decision not to leave with the Fireflies. But this is The Last of Us. And nothing goes as smoothly as it seems.
In the middle of the store, the girls are visited by an infected that they have awakened by their presence in the place. Although Riley carries a gun and attacks him quickly, the infected is faster. Both fight him with everything they have on them, including a knife and bat. But, although the infected ends up dying after an attack by Ellie, all is lost for them: they have been bitten.
The series needs no more to tell us what has happened. In a brutal exercise of elegance, it skips what happens next, because we all already know. Ellie miraculously survives thanks to her staying power and Riley dies. And we return to the present: now there is another death at her hands.
Ellie stitches Joel’s wound while he grunts and resists. But, even if she is again the same Ellie from the previous chapter, we now understand that she is someone different. In the scene where Joel berated her for not suffering, we could have come to be with him at some point. But now we know better. Ellie has had the same thing taken away from her as Joel, and any hope for her future is doomed.
In the next episodes of The Last of Us we will look at a final stretch in which the original events of the videogame will come to an end. Those of us who have played it know that, despite having gone through wonderful moments, the hardest is yet to come. So we can only wish luck to the two protagonists to come out as alive as possible from what is to come.
In the midst of the streaming war, HBO Max is ahead of Netflix in terms of quality. Will he be able to give her the sorpasso?
The Netflix vs. HBO battle was the battle that inaugurated the famous streaming war that today has reached its climax. Today we have dozens of platforms that are practically made to the consumer’s liking, with Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and SkyShowtime as worthy competitors. However, today’s HBO Max is still ahead of the curve when it comes to competing with Netflix.
The streaming platform, now part of Warner Bros. Discovery, has been operating uninterruptedly for several years, and its commitment to quality and calm content has remained the same since its conception. As more and more platforms emerge, HBO Max remains synonymous with quality, and that could mark the future of its future.
Netflix’s crisis and the benefit of other platforms
Although it is disguising it by lowering prices in several countries, Netflix is in a rather worrying crisis. Although in recent years it has been growing more and more in terms of subscribers, as announced by Bob Iger (CEO of Disney) the trend has evened out, so now it is time to make more money.
And how is Netflix trying to make more money? First of all, by implementing a policy to kill all users who share passwords. Although in the past it boasted of being a free-to-use company, Netflix has banned account sharing between different IP addresses, and it’s something that already affects Spanish subscribers.
It is also by far the most expensive of the rest. Right now, with the Netflix Premium subscription you can afford HBO Max, Prime Video and Disney Plus. But it is also only with this subscription that you can enjoy 4K content, the standard of the other platforms. Little by little we are beginning to see the seams of the streaming service.
In the midst of the crisis, there are many alternatives that can take Netflix to its deepest well, Apple TV+ being one of the most attractive. But there is no doubt that HBO Max will be the platform that will benefit the most from its decline. And the secret is that, since its origins, HBO Max has represented just the opposite of Netflix.
HBO Max: the other side of Netflix
There are many differentiating factors that have marked the differences between HBO Max and Netflix, but we leave you with some of the most outstanding ones that, right now, can make the former pass the latter.
One of the most curious novelties of Netflix when the streaming platform was launched was the idea of full season premieres. TV channels had always opted for releasing one episode per week, but Netflix wanted to change the rules of the game with its idea of marathons.
In the short term, this has done very well for it and has generated audiences who can get hooked on series after series, but the formula has ended up making it clear that it’s not such a good idea. While HBO Max can fill weeks with premieres like The Last of Us or House of the Dragon, talk of new seasons of Stranger Things or The Bridgertons expire much sooner.
This may be key in the future of both platforms, since on HBO Max there always seems to be something new while on Netflix everything expires very quickly, and trending topics are much more volatile.
2. Quality vs Quantity
Although this point is much more subjective, you only have to take a look at the Filmaffinity ratings to realize that HBO Max series bet on quality much more than Netflix ones. Without going any further, The Witcher, Netflix’s big fantasy bet, has suffered a huge viewer recession and many controversies since its premiere. However, The House of the Dragon or The White Lotus do not stop rising in audience and critics.
In addition, Netflix seems more than ever a “churros factory”. They keep releasing more and more series and movies, without giving the importance they should to many of them, which pass camouflaged among its catalog. This makes them lose the feeling that they are quality products, and soon leads to cancellations.
3. Betting vs Cancellations
As I was saying, cancellations at Netflix are a daily occurrence. Having so many products, most of them don’t work, and without thinking even a little bit about anything more than the numbers, they end up canceling many of these series. Something that the public, of course, is not able to forgive.
HBO Max, on the other hand, has far fewer premieres, but of higher quality and with a firmer commitment to continuity. Most HBO Max series have more than one season, unless they are conceived as miniseries, and audience loyalty is greater.
The great future of HBO Max
But not everything is in the present. The future of HBO Max is more than exciting, which is causing many people to decide to bet on the platform before many others. While it seemed that when Game of Thrones ended everything was going to end, the streaming service has ended up proving that, rather, it is quite the opposite.
These are just a few of the upcoming premieres coming up on HBO Max:
House of the Dragon – Season 2
After the tremendous success of the first season, which some even equaled Game of Thrones, next year we will be able to see again the story of The House of the Dragon. According to George R.R. Martin, 5 seasons are planned, so there are still years left for the dragons to take flight.
Other Game of Thrones spin-offs
But The Dragon House will not be the only Game of Thrones spin-off to be developed by HBO Max. There are other confirmed spin-off series in development, such as The Sea Shake, 10,000 Ships, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms or The Golden Empire. Not much is known about them yet, but if they maintain the quality of the rest, we have Westeros for a while.
The Last of Us – Season 2
While there are no plans to extend the story of The Last of Us beyond the video games, HBO Max has confirmed that the series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will feature a second season that will explain the events that occurred in The Last of Us – Part II.
Welcome to Derry
One series that has just been confirmed is Welcome to Derry, a spin-off of It that will explore the origins of Pennywise the clown and the city he terrorizes. Directed by Andy Muschietti and produced by his sister Barbara Muschietti, it promises to be as terrifying as the original films.
The Penguin
Another series that has been announced for some time and may become an HBO Max hit is The Penguin. Starring Colin Farrell, it will be an extension of Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s The Batman universe. The director is also behind its development.
The White House Plumbers
This miniseries to be released later this year stars Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux. It is a political drama that explores the era of President Richard Nixon behind the government of the United States of America.
DC Studios Series
HBO Max is also the home of DC, so it will be the home of the future series and movies that James Gunn and Peter Safran are developing for their future DC Studios project. Among them we will be able to see the new season of Pacemaker and other series such as Creature Commandos or Waller.
The Lord of the Rings
While it looked like Amazon Prime Video would have Lord of the Rings supremacy with its Rings of Power series, Warner has announced new Middle-earth movies, as it has the rights to both Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. This means that, at some point, they will be coming to HBO Max.
Other future series
HBO Max does not stop premiering series, and some of the ones we will have in the near future are the fourth season of Succession, the second season of Perry Mason, The Idol or Lakers: Time to Win. Undoubtedly, the next few years of HBO Max look very, very good.
Succession, one of the great successes of HBO Max, will end after the fourth season, which premieres at the end of March.
Succession, one of HBO Max‘s most acclaimed series, will come to an end after its fourth season, the platform said in an official statement. The series has won dozens of awards, including the Emmy for Best Drama Series in 2020, and has become a favorite among critics and viewers alike. However, its end is near.
The news has been received with sadness by Succession fans, who have united on social networks to express their regret for the end of the series. Although many had hoped for a fifth season, the network has confirmed that the fourth will be the last, although it has not given details about the reasons behind this decision.
What is Succession about?
The series, created by Jesse Armstrong, follows the story of the Roy family, one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the United States, which controls a media empire. The plot focuses on the struggle for control of the business and family dynamics, with dramatic twists and turns and constant surprises that keep viewers hooked.
Succession’s fourth season will premiere March 27, 2023 on HBO Max, and is expected to continue to explore the Roy family’s internal struggles and their impact on the family business. While the news of the series finale has come as a disappointing surprise to many, the network has promised that the final season will be a “satisfying farewell” for the characters and viewers.
The fiction has been praised for its brilliant writing, direction and performances, with a stellar cast that includes Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen. Succession has been one of HBO Max’s most popular series in recent years, and has been compared to the platform’s other great fiction such as The Sopranos and Game of Thrones.
The announcement of the series finale has generated much speculation about the future of HBO Max and its programming strategy. Earlier today, the production of Welcome to Derry was announced, as well as new Lord of the Rings movies that will eventually make their way to the VOD service. Thus, it may be part of a change of plans in an internal brand strategy.
Season 3 of The Mandalorian leads the list of Disney Plus releases for the month of March.
A new month has arrived and the VOD platforms are getting ready to continue competing in the streaming war. With the arrival of SkyShowtime and Netflix’s ban on account sharing, it seems that the battle will change a lot in the near future, and March will be crucial to mark the future of what is to come.
In this month of March 2023, it’s not HBO Max or Amazon Prime Video that will bring the most anticipated premieres. It is Disney Plus that seems to be leading the battle, as it has a release that fans have been waiting for a long time: season 3 of The Mandalorian.
However, there are many more premieres that will land on Disney+ throughout March. So we leave you with the most anticipated and, also, with a complete list of all the March premieres on Disney Plus.
The Mandalorian – Season 3 – March 1
The month begins in a big way, as I mentioned, with the arrival of the third season of The Mandalorian. The series starring Pedro Pascal will have 8 new episodes that will be released weekly, so during the next two months we will see the course of the adventure.
In this new season we will see how Mando travels to his original planet, Mandalore, which has been razed by the Empire during the war. After discovering that the different clans of his planet were dispersed throughout the galaxy, Mando must atone for his offenses against his faith and achieve the forgiveness of his culture. To do so, he will have to pass a test in the underground tunnels of his planet, for which he will have the help of the (no longer so small and weak) Grogu.
This challenge will be the backbone of the first episodes of Season 3 of The Mandalorian, but it will not be the only one. After getting the Darksaber, Mando must claim the throne and leadership of his planet Mandalore. It is a position he does not initially want, but which is also sought by Bo-Katan Kryze, who seeks to unite all the scattered clans of the planet, so they will surely end up facing each other for it at some point.
Undoubtedly, the fiction will be a great attraction for fans of the Star Wars universe. After some ups and downs (such as the Obi-Wan Kenobi series or The Book of Boba Fett), Disney+ wants to show that they are still capable of producing great series.
Abbott Elementary – Season 2, Part 1 – March 1
March 1 is a big day, not only because of The Mandalorian but also because of the premiere of the new season of Abbott Elementary. The series that triumphed at the Golden Globes in the comedy series category is hailed by many as the spiritual successor to The Office, and has garnered a legion of fans around the world.
The sitcom is about an American high school, and it will make you laugh for hours and hours thanks to brilliant gags and the enormous naturalness of its characters in situations that range from the most normal in the world to the most bizarre.
The Roar of the Butterflies – March 8
This Latin-Spanish series starring Belén Rueda is one of the most anticipated in the national territory. In it we travel back to 1930 to learn about Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, alias “El Chivo”, who turned the Dominican Republic into a monstrous place where there was no lack of planned assassinations from power, abuses and gender violence, artistic and sports spectacles, and absolute control of the media.
The series tells the point of view of Minerva Mirabal, nicknamed “La Mariposa” (The Butterfly), a woman who put this man in check thanks to her courage and know-how. Undoubtedly, this is a fiction that will give a lot to talk about and will stir consciences.
The Boston Strangler – March 17
Finally, another highly anticipated and sobering release coming to Disney+ this month is The Boston Strangler. The film tells the story of Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley), a reporter for the Record-American newspaper, who becomes the first journalist to link the murders of the notorious Boston Strangler.
As the mysterious killer claims more and more victims, Loretta attempts to continue her investigation alongside colleague and confidante Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), but the duo is hampered by the sexism of the times. Nonetheless, McLaughlin and Cole go forward with great courage, taking risks.
These are not the only premieres coming to Disney+ in the coming weeks. So will some other very noteworthy series and movies. We leave you with the full list below:
The debut of the Brazilian star breaks the historical record of spectators.
Ronaldinho made his debut in the Kings League. After the resounding announcement just a few days ago, the Brazilian player played his first minutes with Porcinos FC, Ibai Llanos‘ team. We are not going to deny it: his debut was quite decaffeinated, with more noise around him than real facts. After all, the years go by for everyone; and in the case of the former Barça player, his physical shape is not that good either…
The Gaucho looked slow and ponderous. There is no doubt that he is light years away not only from his best version, but also from even the player we knew in the final stage of his career. If his name had not been Ronaldinho, the coach would most likely have changed him after a few minutes, as he was below -and far below- the level of his teammates. But this is the Kings League circus, isn’t it?
In fact, as a curiosity of the day, Pio FC and Porcinos FC drew 0-0. As the reader will know if he follows the competition and its rules, when there is a draw, there is no choice but to take penalties from the midfield and run. It was here that Ronaldinho left us with a hilarious anecdote. While the referees explained to the South American how the kicks were to be taken, he was categorical: “No, no, we are going to put someone else in. I’m not going to be running, let someone else run“. That’s what he said.
As expected, Ronaldinho’s debut brought with it the Kings League record to date. According to the data revealed, the audience obtained between Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook was a total of 2,120,962 viewers, a figure never before achieved in the competition. In fact, these viewers were achieved just at the moment when Ronaldinho took the field.
On the other hand, the cumulative viewership on Twitch also broke the league record. In total, 10.5 million viewers tuned in at some point during the Kings League matchday 8 (and this was only on Twitch).
After the huge success of the Kings League in its men’s version, it was a foregone conclusion that we would have a women’s edition. The pilot project has worked well, so from the next edition we will also have the Queens League Oysho.
In total there will be 12 franchises with the same format as the one currently enjoyed. Specifically, the league will kick off next May 6 and end on July 29. “Today is a great day. We are very excited about the start of the Queens League Oysho and we encourage all girls who are passionate about soccer to sign up for the draft and come to the trials,” said Gerard Piqué, president of the competition.
Each and every team will have a president at the head. The idea is that the presidents will also be behind in the management, but that they will remain more as consultants than as presidents per se. The following team presidents are already known:
Porcinos: Gemita
Ultimate Mostoles: Noe9977
Kunisports: Morena Beltrán
1K FC: Mayichi
Aniquiladores: Espe
Los Troncos FC: Violeta
Jijantes FC: Paula Gonu
The rest of the presidents will be announced in the coming weeks, although some may start the league without a release.
