Esports has become a major catalyst in expanding the reach of **Nouns DAO**. Many **streamers**, **players**, and **influencers** have joined the Nouns ecosystem through the **esports** channel. **Indonesia** is one of the countries with the largest esports ecosystems in **Southeast Asia**, especially in mobile games like **Mobile Legends**. This online game attracts a wide range of players, from **children** to **adults**. The developer, **Moonton**, actively supports **student competitions** such as **[MLBB Student Leader](https://www.instagram.com/mlbb_studentleader/)**. Large competitions are also held twice a year, namely **[MPL](https://www.instagram.com/mpl.id.official/)** and **[MDL](https://www.instagram.com/mdl.indonesia/)**.

**Makassar**, the third-largest city in Indonesia, features a vibrant **gaming ecosystem**. The city's dynamic gaming scene is driven by numerous local communities that frequently organize **tournaments**. Additionally, two of Indonesia’s most renowned esports teams, **[NFT Esports](https://www.instagram.com/nft_esports/)** and **[Pandora Esports](https://www.instagram.com/pandora.corp/)**, are based in Makassar. These teams are pivotal in fostering the gaming community in the city. The local government also supports esports development by organizing **annual tournaments** and hosting the **[Liga Esports Nasional](https://www.instagram.com/ligaesportsnasional/)**. This collective effort has established Makassar as one of the cities with the fastest-growing esports scenes in Indonesia.

The collaboration on this proposal began with the **[Nounsweek Menyapa #01](https://www.instagram.com/p/C_A1P_ySVT1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)** event. This event marked the initial step for Nounsweek to engage in **discussions** and exchange **ideas** about Nouns with **cross-ecosystem communities**. During this session, we signed a **memorandum of understanding** to collaborate in **promoting Nouns** through **Unhas Esports**. The meeting was attended by **25 representatives** *[(see the list of participants on this attendance list)](https://lu.ma/7eug4r3n)* from Unhas Esports. Included **MLBB Fun Games** activities, as well as discussions about **Nouns** and **esports**. In this activity we also collaborated to create a proposal for a ***[Nouns Funds Tournament](https://h[ttps://](https://nouns.gg/rounds/nouns-funds-tournaments-3))*** rounds on nouns.gg. As a result, we won the round and received seed funding.

Unhas Esports is a student organization dedicated to esports, which aligns well with our **vision** and **mission** for developing **sustainable projects**.

The project we propose is an **esports festival** specifically designed for **students** and **university communities**.

This aligns with Nouns' vision of **promoting public interest**. Our focus is on reaching students through esports. The aim of this festival is to **introduce Nouns** to students, using esports as a medium to facilitate the spread of Nouns' influence among them. Additionally, the festival seeks to **support students** in becoming professional esports players and provide **education and guidance** on the esports industry and how they can contribute to it.
