thoughtful proposal but given its considerable cost i am not convinced the dao will get the bang for our buck required to justify such a large outlay

voting against because the bet size is too large relative to the culture fit. am generally supportive of ambitious proposers with large distribution channels but they have to be a better fit with nouns culture and aesthetic. thank you to the proposers and the nouns esports group

Super grateful to the proposers for all the time they put into writing this and answering questions. Really excited Nouns can draw in people new to crypto and this quality of proposal. That said, Im voting against. It’s a decent amount of ETH, both in absolute terms and as a % of the treasury. I don’t doubt that it is warranted for a quality event, but I think there are better ways the DAO could use the money. In particular, I am more interested in going deeper with our true fans than trying to reach out to a community that has historically disdained NFTs/crypto (the Dota subreddit responses to this proposal were not encouraging). I also felt a bit like the proposal was made to work for the proposers in a way that maybe doesn’t make the most sense for Nouns: the emphasis on using the proposer’s venue and the VIP Nouns experience. Finally, there were a lot of ideas here about how to use NFTs in the contest itself, but the proposers by their own admission seem to have little experience in the space. I think there’s a lot of subtlety here and it would take some real experience to get it right. Hope to see these proposers back with other ideas in the future!

After some consideration gonna take a leap of faith here. Think we gonna regret passing on this.

While this is a large ask, I think there is huge value in this proposal. At this point in time, it doesnt look like it will be successful unfortunately, but decided to show my support nonetheless. Maybe this would be more successful when eth prices are higher, who knows?

**Nouncil Vote:** 30 Yes, 13 No, 4 Abstain 14 Nouncillors abstained from the decision **YES WINS** --- **Vote Reasons & Discussion** --- **Mach** | *Saw this proposal from conception to on-chain and happy to support it. This could have huge implications for nouns and a one of the first major events where nouns is put in front of a non-native audience and explained in clarity.* **Bigshot Klim** | *Lots of great opportunities for proliferation and discovery for a whole new audience on a global scale* **Coral Orca** | *esport is the way* **Josep** | *I dont have a deep knowledge of the esports sector, I will spend more time investigating the possibilities it offers for new proposals. In this case I abstain as my lack of knowledge about this industry makes it impossible for me to vote for the option that is in the DAOs best interest.* **metamonk** | *E-sports is a great niche to build a presence in. Nouns E-sports has done a fantastic job so far in proliferating Nouns in the space.* **Mindtoasted** | *This is very Nounish, hell yes from me, I love dota since I was in highschool, created a lot of interesting moments every quite period of time until now.* **andreitr** | *This looks legit but I am completely ignorant when it comes to anything Esports. Going to sit this one out (abstain) and educate myself on the space.* **Voadz** | *I love Dota. Huge potential & exposure for Nouns. Legit 💯* --- For more Nouns DAO proposal discussion head to the Nouncil Discord: https://discord.gg/nouncil

Enormous budget on a relatively short timeline. Given my lack of understanding on the esports industry as a whole, Im unable to justify voting yes given those two observations.
0 references
Cost is leading me to abstain. Im not confident enough to vote yes, but like everything the team is doing so dont want to vote no.

I dont understand enough about esports to make a decision on an ask of this magnitude. In theory not opposed to it, but would like other nouners more familiar with this area to chime in.

2. That sponsoring an event have on their actions or get them to become nouns or becoming contributing members of the ecosystem--Unlike similar passed props from the DAO, our goal is not to get the name of Nouns out there but rather create compelling reasons for viewers to join the ecosystem. First, the Mini Dota DAO will both explain what a DAO is by encouraging people to participate in a very watered down (but highly accessible) system which shows what Nouns is all about while giving them a real world taste of it. By enabling people in the community to have a DAO experience it will not only help to educate them on your mission to be the good guys in the space, but also subconsciously encourage them to be invested in the tourney and the outcome of the vote they participated in. This all accumulates into a deep understanding (and appreciation) of how Nouns fundamentally operates. We will encourage people to join Nouns Esports discord to talk about the props in this mini DAO and present their cases, give away prizes, and do pretty much what we are doing here on a controlled and smaller scale so that they can get a trial run of what it's like to be a Nouner, and I can't imagine there are any better ways to get people to be part of this community than by letting them experience it themselves. --The trick here is to change the opinion most people have on NFTs and Web3 via content, explanatory videos, and just the fact that you guys are doing this tournament and giving something to the scene to make it better. Once we can convince people you are not the scammers and bad actors that are so prevalent in the crypto space (that they have already been exposed too hundreds of times before) we can work on making them part of the ecosystem. A POAP system which gives them incentives to watch and participate is another one of these systems we hope to implement so they can experience the fun of NFTs with no cost to them-only rewards. Best part? You will actually have numbers
The goal of sponsoring an event like the Nounsvitational is to create compelling reasons for viewers to join the ecosystem by providing them with a taste of what Nouns is all about through a Mini Dota DAO. This would help educate them on the mission of Nouns and encourage them to be invested in the tournament and the outcome of the vote they participated in. The event aims to change the opinion most people have on NFTs and Web3 through content, explanatory videos, and the fact that Nouns is supporting the tournament. A POAP system would also be implemented to give incentives for viewers to watch and participate, allowing them to experience the fun of NFTs with no cost to them.

Why not run a traditional style event that makes a profit with Noun as the sponsor or something? I mean….what message does this send if it completely unsustainable?
The Nounsvitational event is not intended to be a traditional sponsorship, as Nouns isn't a traditional entity. The goal is to create a unique experience tailored to the Nouns community, using Dota as a draw while focusing on promoting Nouns. The event is designed to be groundbreaking and make waves in the esports scene, with benefits to both Nouns and WePlay that go beyond revenue. The organizers believe that this approach will bring the best ROI for Nouns compared to alternatives.
