Just a few minutes. Geronimo Benavides Marchesiknown by all as momo, got out of his car and immediately began receiving a flurry of photo requests. The common denominator that painted the scene? The good predisposition of the streamer and the brown color of the Platense shirt.
Now he is a prophet in his land and represents her own “I came to the city and they accepted me as if I were a boss”: he got off a plane that started his journey to Spain and returned to the court of Calamar after being awarded Streamer of the Year in Coscu Army Awards (CAA). Less than a minute passed so, as soon as she finished smiling for one photo, she had to face up again for another.
They were adults, children, mothers, fathers, club idols and veterans of the Malvinas, who went to see the debut of Omar de Felippe, a former war veteran, at the head of Platense. No one wants to miss having some time with Momo. She, pussy: she doesn’t say no to anything or anyone and appreciates all this display of affection that proves the reason for her prejudice against CAA.
The battle was against Racing and it was difficult for Platense to reach the Academy area. Both teams held 0 to 0 until the final minutes, where the VAR resolved a penalty for the Race made goal by Colombian Edwin Cardona. 0-1 for Squid, but that didn’t stop Momo from saying hello to his personal friends Enzo Copetti Y Gaston “Chila” Gomez.
Momo, sends a greeting to a fan on the Platense field.
There, in the corridor near the press room, Momo accepted their shirts and exchanged a few words with them. “The only thing that can be fun,” Momo said, to the complicity and laughter of the Racing players. “I only allow those two to be happy … and the lining of coscu”. Above, from the cloudy sky, drops are falling to accompany the incompetence of the fans.
Momo, star of the Gamergy festival
Momo, next to a Gamergy fan.
flash-forward. The sky is clear and, near it, is on the 23rd floor of a complex located at Madero PortMomo is waiting to pick up for her second day at the Gamergy fair, where she will have to participate in the Kingston Fury stand, who have trusted her and are full of praise for her way of working.
On an express tour of the place where he stops, Momo, who has a hangover after the event for hours (and, of course, lots of photos), shows an oven full of bills (no, not bakery bills), a view of the brown river de la Plata and some professional binoculars where he investigates the panorama offered to him by the department.
The stay was short. From there, Momo went for her mandatory combo to start the day: a coffee and a glass of soda. Along with this, he regrets that he did not have time to see his friends. “I’m going for a week to work! Do you think I’m scratching? They get angry like I don’t want to drink rum and eat a piece of meat,” he said.
And it is that he only came to Argentina for work: he has no time for leisure. It was a small disagreement to go to Gamergy and return to Spain, where he maintains a rigorous training routine for The Night of the Year IIwhere he’s going to head in gloves against ViruZz, a Spanish youtuber that exploded during Clash of Clans. The fact: the event was organized by no one else but Ibai Llanos.
Before traveling, Momo had planned to continue his training, but the pain in his hand became impossible and he even threatened that he would have to leave the competition. Between sips of espresso and bubbly soda, the famous streamer releases some reproach: “The routine is depressing to me. I have to make my days different, for something different to happen every day. “
Momo, while having breakfast before the second day of Gamergy.
“If I get into the monotony of routine I go crazy,” he begins. And he continues, about his diet during his stay in Argentina: “It makes it impossible for me. Because I don’t have places or time… Last night I ate 2:30 in the morning. I have to go until Corrientes Avenue until I saw something: I ate a chicken burger. Whether or not to eat all day. “
His passing through the country allows him to stay home and be with his family one day. It was a small oasis within all the maelstrom in which he had been involved for many years, ever since he became well known and street photos and various unexpected places became commonplace.
“I haven’t been home in a long time. Months and months. The last time I’m at home was in September of last year, because I traveled to Spain, I came back, I stayed for a while, I went to events, to Bariloche to work and I went back to Spain in February. In February I was in hotels, from there to the flat and from the flat to the train. I am not in a fixed place“, it said.
Hers is not something that happens in common with other figures in the field. In fact, the opposite is true: “The logical thing for the streamer is that he lives in a locked house and doesn’t move. Look at Coscu’s life. Strangely Martin left the house. When there was a pandemic, there seemed to be nothing left: food, League of Legends and streams; That’s what you have to live with. I’m the opposite. “
The car that will take him to Gamergy arrives at the bar and goes straight to him Technopolis. The group of Clarion He’ll only meet her again in a few hours, at the Kingston Fury brand stand and inside a soundproof fish tank.
Between photos and greetings, Momo discussed the current streaming.
Equipped with several monitors, microphone and webcam to stream from there, the aforementioned fish tank was also used as an ideal spot for his fans to take pictures with him. Crowded in a queue that rotates several times so as not to get in the way, adults and children are waiting to smile with the streamer before the camera of their smartphones.
Although he just took a picture (no video or audio greetings to third parties), also predisposed to sign things. The ribbons, t-shirts and even a Mercado Libre box are interspersed with a black fiber that cannot be removed. “And it’s not the craziest I’ve signed,” he confesses. “I’ve already signed front, five-hundred-peso bills.”
At a certain moment a group of people entered his space whom he immediately recognized. They are your moderatorsthose in charge of maintaining chat control of their streams and imposed a ban (and, in the worst case, the remained) to those who violate their rules.
Behind them was someone else. From below, it looks normal: red and white Air Jordans, white cargo pants and a Supreme tracksuit in the same color. The oddity starts with the neck: it has, imitating a balaclava, a piece of cloth on the head with two holes in the area of the eyes. Above, in the form of a crown, a beret.

When everyone left, the unrecognizable laughter and voice of the subject in question brought out his personality: it was coscueating a vegan burger and undercover so that he doesn’t get too messy going through the event.
“I came to greet you. I want to surprise you”, He said. “Everyone already knows it’s you,” Momo replied. To which his friend retorts: “No, no. Now, just now, yes. But not before. You don’t know: I walked through the entire event. It was something we never experienced, historical. I have a shark mask. Do you want to wear it And we go out? So if someone comes to tell us something, we will say: ‘Who is Coscu? I am Cosme Fulanito’ “.
But Momo has no time to camouflag. Until he finishes the row that sits around the stand, he won’t leave there. The day does not end until people are satisfied. “Streamer of the Year” responsibility at its best.
“If you give a bad message, you neglect these kids. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, at least everyone who feeds you“, he concludes, handing his bowl of fruit salad one last fork. The screen opens and the microphone receives his voice. The webcam captures his image and starts streaming it. An ordinary day in Momo’s life. Camera , voices and things to talk about: amidst the busyness of Gamergy, everything remains the same.
