She will compete under the name CHINAMI, while keeping the name Chinami Sourin for her activities with the VTuber group Leisure Plan. The team calls the new unit the Girls Fighting Games division. Sourin discussed the move in a YouTube livestream that followed the announcement, including a stream titled for Leisure Plan and her own name. She said she wanted to broaden the scope of her activities, according to PANORA. She will use CHINAMI at offline tournaments and events, a split the panels draw between her streaming work and her competitive appearances. FAV gaming announced the addition on the last day of September, and KAI-YOU and PANORA both carried the news the same day. No debut match, roster size, or event schedule was given.","whyItMatters":"A VTuber label and a competitive team are sharing one player under two names, which tests whether an online persona can carry a separate offline identity in fights game events.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe announcement names a two-name arrangement: Sourin continues under her Leisure Plan handle for streaming, and CHINAMI appears on brackets and event listings. PANORA places the news on September 30, and KAI-YOU places the team\u0026#39;s notice on the same day, with the stream following the announcement. The new division is called Girls Fighting Games. Sourin described the reason for joining in terms of widening what she can do, a line PANORA carries from the stream. KAI-YOU describes the offline-tournament split as the reason for the second name, which suggests the team sees the division as a bracket-facing unit rather than a streaming label. Neither outlet names teammates, a debut date, or a first event. The two accounts agree on the facts: the division is new, Sourin is its first member, and she joins under a different name than the one she uses as a VTuber.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"FAV Gaming's Girls Fighting Games division splits Chinami Sourin into two names: Chinami at offline events, Chinami Sourin on Leisure Plan streams.
