KOI, known as Movistar KOI for sponsorship reasons, is a Spanish professional esports organization owned by OverActive Media. The organization was founded by Internet celebrity and streamer Ibai Llanos and former FC Barcelona player Gerard Piqué on 15 December 2021.

On 6 October 2022, a partnership with Infinite Reality and its ReKTGlobal brand, owners of Rogue, was announced. This partnership ended on 3 November 2023 following the revelation of non-payments by Infinite Reality and unsuccessful sporting goals. Two months after this separation, on 4 January 2024, OverActive Media, owner of MAD Lions, acquired KOI and Movistar Riders and merged them with MAD Lions, forming Movistar KOI and MAD Lions KOI. The team competed under these names during 2024 until the final merger, announced at the Movistar KOI-Con event on 6 December 2024.

The organization competes with two teams in League of Legends (European LEC and Spanish LES); one team in Free Fire and Teamfight Tactics; and two players for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet at VGC events. It also has a Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 team that competes as Toronto KOI in the CDL.
