Our mission is two-fold: make Nouns relevant in popular culture and onboard a new generation to blockchain. In today's day and age many see gaming as more than just a hobby. It’s a cornerstone of their lives. To effectively reach these individuals and inspire them to explore new ideas, we need to be fully present in these spaces, with a compelling brand that speaks to them directly.
To engage, educate, and inspire this audience, we’ve built Nouns Esports as a platform with authentic storytelling and education at its core. Building this brand gives us the opportunity to control our messaging and reach, bringing Nouns and its values directly to a receptive audience.
Our journey has brought Nouns recognition in games like Counter-Strike, Dota, Pokémon Unite, Smash Bros, and others. In Counter-Strike, we narrowly missed qualifying for the Major and earning in-game Nounish stickers, but remained a top North American contender garnering significant attention. In Dota, we surpassed expectations by qualifying for The International three years in a row, cementing the Nouns name and in-game assets in one of the most competitive esports and largest games globally.
Smash is Nounish ⌐◨-◨
We’ve found a community that is not only open to engaging with Nouns but eager to learn and connect with our mission. This presents a unique opportunity to create significant impact and continue building our legacy as a positive force within the gaming world.
This year, through Proposal 534, we hosted two successful Smash events—Tipped Off 15 and the Nounsfest Showcase—with the Nounsvitational coming soon. Next year, we aim to build on this momentum by creating open, inclusive events that the gaming community and Nouns can take pride in.
Our vision is to establish a scalable events circuit that not only showcases Nounish culture but also fosters collaboration with other Nounish groups, leveraging our platform to drive meaningful engagement and shared growth across our entire ecoystem.
Nouns GG is partnering with the Hall of Fame Village, home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to host a Smash Bros. tournament with 300+ competitors. Leveraging the venue’s state-of-the-art facilities, this event will enhance its esports profile and lay the groundwork for future large-scale events as the campus grows with new attractions like a water park and hotel.
Continuing our successful partnership with the Tipped Off Series, Nouns GG is proud to collaborate on the 16th iteration of this prestigious event. Tipped Off, which began in 2007, is the oldest open-bracket Smash tournament in the world. In 2024, the event drew over 1,000 attendees and generated impressive online viewership, with VODs amassing over half a million views and a peak of 40,000 concurrent live viewers.
Nouns GG is launching its third open-bracket tournament in Raleigh, North Carolina, recognizing the city’s dynamic esports scene and its proximity to multiple college campuses. Our vision is to build a growing, annual event series that cements Raleigh as a key location in the esports landscape.
The Nounsvitational will bring together the 16 best Super Smash Bros. Melee players from around the world, serving as the ultimate "championship of championships" in an otherwise decentralized competitive scene. Winners from our previous open events throughout the year will qualify, helping establish a cohesive narrative that builds anticipation for this grand finale. True to our mission, a major focus will be on charity, with a portion of all event-related sales supporting a selected charitable cause.
Nouns GG is our fan platform that taps into the natural connection esports fans have with competition making participation feel like playing a competitive game. This approach transforms the mundane routine of governance into an interactive experience where fans are excited to participate, fostering a stronger, more aligned community.
To build a compelling narrative, Nouns GG will play a key role in driving engagement and excitement around our major events. Unlike a typical esports organization website, Nouns GG offers unique features—such as Rounds, Quests, and Achievements—transforming it into a cultural hub where Nouns fans and broader gaming communities can connect and engage.
Our website will operate in four seasonal phases, each spanning from the start of the season to the completion of a major event. During each season, users will unlock exclusive Rounds, Quests, and Achievements that help them climb the leaderboard. The leaderboard then allows us to quantify, recognize, and reward our most dedicated supporters, creating an immersive onchain experience that builds community loyalty year-round.
Since our launch in June, we’ve built several impactful features:
Aklo and Junebug will champion our programming, acting as ambassadors who embody the values and aspirations of Nouns GG. Their role will not only increase the visibility of the opportunities we create but also set a high standard for community members aspiring to represent Nouns. Nouns GG will collaborate with them to produce content that will share updates on our events, Rounds, and activities within Nouns DAO to further enhance engagement.
