INSOMNIA Sets Two Tokyo Game Show 2026 Events
The booth lineup puts the club's university research project on the same stage as its fan-facing events, treating the science side as part of the public-facing identity rather than a separate internal effort.

INS Inc. will bring its pro esports club INSOMNIA to Tokyo Game Show 2026 for two sessions at the CFD Sales booth in Hall 1. An INS x LAB talk session on September 17 features researchers and representative Sota Motohashi discussing concentration and player condition. A September 19 fan meeting brings players from the VALORANT, Brawl Stars, and streamer divisions together.
The two sessions run on separate days at the CFD Sales (Crowxis) booth, Hall 1, Booth No. 01-C13. The September 17 talk session runs 14:00 to 15:00 under the theme "How far can esports be made scientific? - The current state and future of pro esports teams x university research." Sota Motohashi appears alongside Mr. John of the University of Tokyo and Kochi University of Technology and Mr. Hiramatsu of Keio University, with CrazyPapiyoN as MC. The September 19 fan meeting runs 14:00 to 15:00 and is billed as the club's first joint fan meeting across multiple divisions, with a cross-talk program by players. Both events are sponsored by CFD Sales Inc.
