Ibai was born in the Deusto district of Bilbao, Spain on 26 March 1995. Due to the 2008 financial crisis and economic instability at home, he sought distraction in videogames. In 2014, at the age of nineteen, he started commentating League of Legends esports matches. In August 2015, he became a commentator for the Spanish regional league LVP. In 2016, he moved from Bilbao to Barcelona to be able to work as an announcer.

In February 2020, Llanos quit commentating League of Legends, and left LVP to become an exclusive content creator for the G2 Esports team, along with Ander Cortés, Reven and Ernesto "BarbeQ" Folch. In January 2021, Ibai made a significant career move, announcing his departure from G2 Esports to launch his own streaming brand. This new venture, which he formed with his previous collaborators and the addition of new talents, marked an exciting new chapter in his career. Llanos co-founded the esports team KOI alongside Gerard Piqué in December 2021, which is headquartered in Barcelona. It initially competed in League of Legends, Valorant and Teamfight Tactics.
