Virtual YouTubers, often shortened to VTubers, are content creators and live-streamers who use a virtual avatar mimicking their movement with motion capture technology.
In a Twitter announcement by VTuber Kureha Kurono, she announced that she will be having a collaboration with Filipino/Japanese Jun “Bok” Kanehara, a professional Dota 2 player currently playing offlane for TNC Predator. The collaboration is scheduled to be on Sunday, July 25, 2021, at 9PM Philippine Time. It will be streamed on Kureha’s YouTube channel, and aside from playing Dota 2 together, she has also said that there would be an interview with Bok.

Fans should look forward to “fun chatting with Kureha and Bok,” Kureha told Esports Inquirer. According to her, she is curious about Bok’s life as a pro player in the Philippines and SEA as a whole. Although this will not be the first time Kureha has played Dota 2, she is still fairly new to the game so her topics with Bok will be good for new players.
