The Nounsvitational has officially come to a close, marking the conclusion of Proposal 534.
This proposal aimed to host three incredible events, and we are proud to say it has been a resounding success. Through these events, Nouns made a remarkable entry into the Smash Community, leaving a lasting impression by presenting three distinct styles of competition, each executed with great success.
**Tipped Off:** An open-bracket tournament that welcomed participants of all skill levels.
**Nounsfest Showcase:** A thrilling exhibition featuring six highly entertaining showmatches.
**Nounsvitational:** A prestigious year-end invitational that introduced new storylines, crowned a new champion, and delivered an unforgettable experience for attendees and viewers alike.
For details about the first two events, please refer to previous propdates. This update focuses on the Nounsvitational.
### **Marketing Campaign & Leadup to the Event:**
**1. Trailer Announcement**
The trailer debuted during Nounsfest, capturing the attention of fans and kicking off the promotional campaign with a bang.
**2. Compendium Application Phase**
The Compendium was a feature hosted on the event website, enabling users to support their favorite players by purchasing merchandise or donating directly. These contributions earned users points, which they could use to vote for their preferred competitors.
A memorable moment during this phase involved Bekvin, the first player to be voted into the event. In a dramatic twist, Bekvin donated $1,000 just one minute before voting closed on October 25th, overtaking Aklo to claim the top spot.
**3. Nouns GG Round Applications**
This phase added two more players to the event through a fan-voted selection process. With significant participation, fans cast their votes to invite Joshman and Agent to the Nounsvitational. This round became our second-most popular, surpassed only by the round conducted during the event itself, with 834 participants casting 2,478 votes.
**4. Matcha Cup Last Chance Qualifier**
This final qualifying event provided players with one last opportunity to secure a spot in the Nounsvitational, adding excitement and drama to the lead-up.
**5. Nouns GG Round Selection**
The final round, held in the lead-up to and during the event, was a standout success. This round determined one player to join Nouns Esports in 2025, offering $10,000 in travel support for the winner.
This round became our most popular ever, attracting over 1,151 participants who cast an impressive 3,273 votes. Ultimately, Nicki, the only European player, claimed victory with remarkable dedication to his campaign. He actively engaged his audience, teaching them how to maximize their voting impact through Nouns.GG quests. These quests not only allowed participants to earn additional experience points but also helped them rank up their accounts, enhancing their overall participation.

### The Event
The event sold out its tickets and welcomed approximately 150 attendees over its two-day duration. Given the venue's limited capacity, our goal was always to provide an exclusive and premium experience for those who purchased tickets.
The Nounsvitational has firmly established itself as one of the year’s most prestigious events. Jmook, a top player who had been facing challenges throughout the season, claimed the championship—an achievement that will undoubtedly bolster his position in the soon-to-be-released annual rankings. Conversely, Amsa, Japan’s top player, faced difficulties during the event, which may lead to a decline in his overall ranking. The two-day format featured high-level matchups across every game, providing an exceptional experience for spectators both in person and online.
