Letter from Zenith

It’s been an eventful month here at INGAGE. Continued development and improvements have been made across the platform, allowing for the INGAGE App and platform to progress. I thank you all for your patience and your support, for all those that have already downloaded the app and have begun creating their profiles, and those that have been competing in tournaments weekly.

On that note, what a busy month we’ve had, some exciting tournaments and many more to begin next month too!

Our INGAGE Team has once again expanded, with many volunteers joining us behind the scenes to drive the vision, as well as paid positions being offered. We also welcome HuskyStar from the US as part of our Roster.

We’ve announced our Rose Tower by INGAGE project, and we’re cooking something for VGC behind the scenes - stay tuned!

A thank you to all our readers and supporters, more to come!

INGAGE Weeklies

Introduction

INGAGE Weeklies is a highly competitive tournament series organized by INGAGE.GG Launched on Friday, 9th August, this event has brought together top-tier teams from Europe and North America. With an exciting format and intense matchups, this series quickly gained popularity among esports enthusiasts.

Each Friday at 9 PM CET, the INGAGE Weeklies series is hosted by SpartanTano, a 8-16 team single-elimination event.

- The winners of each weekly event qualify for the main event on Saturday, at the end of the month.

- The Saturday main event features the four qualifying teams in a single-elimination bracket.

- This process happens twice before the season ends, so we’ve labelled each main event as ‘Midseason Finals’ and ‘Season Finale’

UEC 2024 The Unity European Cup 2024 is set to be an exciting event organized by the Unity Clash Organisation. This tournament is a highly anticipated competition for the Europe region, where different countries form teams and compete to represent their nations with pride.

With a history of thrilling contests, this year promises to be bigger and better.

The Origins of Unity European Cup The tournament initially began as a grassroots event spearheaded by Pump, a French caster and content creator, who organized the first two editions in 2022 and 2023. Pump’s passion for the Unite community and the competitive spirit made these events a huge success. However, just before the WCS 2024, Pump decided to step away from the scene, leaving a void in the popular tournament series. @Hugoausprint

To continue this exciting legacy, Unity Clash Organisation stepped in to organize their own edition of the Unity European Cup under their banner.

That same year, they made waves as finalists, but their impact goes far beyond a single tournament. To fully understand Nouns Esports, it’s crucial to delve into their roots and their connection to Nouns DAO, the decentralized organization driving their success.

Here’s a deeper look at its operations: - Noun Creation: Nouns are generated by an algorithm, ensuring that each one is entirely unique, random, and unpredictable.

- Noun Sales: These pixel art NFTs are auctioned daily, and all proceeds go to the community treasury, which funds the DAO's projects.

- DAO Governance: Noun holders (known as Nouns) have a direct say in the organization’s future. They can vote on various proposals, initiate new ideas, and even delegate their voting power to others.

- Use of Treasury Funds: Nouns DAO funds a wide variety of initiatives ranging from charities and comic books to designer sunglasses and, of course, the Nouns Esports team.

- Inception of Nouns DAO: The project officially launched on August 8, 2021, quickly establishing itself as a pioneering force in the NFT and DAO space.
