The TI Dream is Over
Nouns Dota team made huge waves right from the start of The International after they obliterated last year's champions Team Spirit 2-0 in front of over 600.000 live viewers!
Unfortunately, it only got harder after the win against Spirit, as Nouns lost the match against last year's runner-up GG, and ended up descending to the lower bracket where the dream got crushed by yet another loss against BetBoom. This put the team into the "9th-12th" spot in the final placement - still an amazing outcome for an underdog!
You can support the project by buying one of the TI inspired t-shirts.
While in Copenhagen, Nouns Esports collaborated with FANGST and produced an Extra Nounish Trout (taste test by players here).
Nouns Esports recently attracted Launders, one of the most famous Counter-Strike casters, who will soon run a Nouns-sponsored event in Toronto, so it seems the project has a great momentum currently! (And as Sam and Gami pointed out, the Google search for nouns dota/esports has far outmatched the searches for other nounish projects!)
Due to the saturation of @esports, Nouns are being recognized as a pillar in our scene. Now it’s just for people to understand they can get involved ⌐◨-◨ Esports and web3 are 2 sides of the same coin. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/137aedb2-5454-4113-92f1-1e4825d0a600/original
DUNA
The Foundation is exploring a new legal structure for the DAO - DUNA - a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, which comes with its own set of pros (e.g. liability protection for DAO members) and cons (KYC for grant recipients).
This is a hard and important decision for the DAO, read the full blog post here.

The TI Dream is Over (but we have canned fish) ... yes, you read that right... This week's newsletter mostly focused on @nounsesports, but it also mentions Nouns Foundation, @mikegood, @pip, @davidzhorvath, Nouns Movie (@supriyo.eth), @nounswap and more!
great recap. first time reader but i will be back for more.
Nouns Esports had a dramatic journey at The International, stunning fans by defeating Team Spirit but ultimately falling to GG and BetBoom, finishing in the "9th-12th" spot. Still, this performance marks a remarkable achievement for an underdog team. Read more insights from @maty.
