Movistar KOI has launched an open application process for a new League of Legends amateur team.

The Spanish organisation has shared a public Google Form on social media, inviting players to step forward and ‘be part of our amateur team’. 

The initiative is aimed at finding ‘committed players’ who want to compete and grow within one of Europe’s biggest esports organisations. By opening applications to the public, MKOI is seemingly bypassing traditional scouting methods and allowing players to directly put themselves in front of the club’s coaching staff.

The Spanish organisation already operates the Movistar KOI Fénix academy roster in the Spanish second division, with all current players under contract until the end of the year. This open call potentially alludes to a third roster being made to compete in Tier 3 leagues and amateur divisions— though no official plans have been confirmed. The open application call could also potentially serve to either expand the organisation’s scouting pool or prepare for future roster changes.

What Players Movistar KOI is Looking For

As a Spanish organisation, MKOI plays a key role in the national League of Legends ecosystem, with its academy team competing in the Spanish ERL. Opening amateur applications further strengthens its presence at the grassroots and community level.

Applicants are asked to provide basic personal details such as their name, in-game nickname, age, residency, and contact information via email and Discord. Players must also specify the League server they play on and their main in-game position.

Competitive-related questions focus on experience and commitment, while other questions cover English level, schedule availability, and past behaviour. Players are asked when they started seriously grinding League of Legends, how many Solo Queue games they played last season, and what their peak rank was in 2025. 

The form also asks for Riot ID details, previous team experience, and VODs of gameplay. Applicants must disclose whether they have ever been banned by Riot Games and explain the situation if applicable. While no clear rank requirement is listed, the form suggests Movistar KOI is targeting motivated, active players with competitive ambition — exactly the passionate profiles usually targeted for academy and amateur-level teams.
