Contributor Updates

Peter put together an awesome pitch for a Smash Club.

Here are the goals:

  1. Perpetual funding of Smash esports

  2. Community controlled esports

  3. Help fund under-financed players to attend events

  4. Perpetual funding for Slippi & other Smash infrastructure

  5. Avoid shutdown by Nintendo

Take a look at the linked presentation above and let us know your thoughts and opinions! Could you see this Nounish model applying to other community-led and organized games and esports?

In other news, a really cool opportunity for a few of our valued contributors to visit MIBR in São Paulo. Meeting the team in-person could open the door to a lot of unique opportunities with an incredibly established esports organization. Thoughts on the proposal? Check out linked proposal thread in Discord and feel free to reach out to bright spark#1084, P12#0016, & RECHAO#5440 with any questions!

We host a weekly Contributor Call on Fridays at 3PM EST on our Discord. Everyone is welcome! Drop by if you would like to discuss these ideas, get team updates, and more!
