The event in Munich is indeed postponed for a week, it will be from 17th until 19th of July. The Mobo + VGA will very much likely be the Eclipse SLI and the N260GTX Lightning. Should anything change in this we will of course update you on this

NeoForce: I think you will have to contact your local MSI office. Unfortunately the office I work for does not cover Russia, so I do not know who won in your qualifiers.

The fail to mention the benchmarks for America. Is it still SPi 16M and 3DVantage for Phase I and II?

[TiTON]

Rules are now up. Very interesting.

Phase 1 = Spi16m. Phase 2 = Nothing mentioned.

Top 2 Go to Beijing for Finals. Top 2 picks team mate to go with them. So not automatic for 1-4.

I was under the impression that you could use any brand parts for the online qualifier, is that not the case anymore? If so, I doubt many people are willing to buy a MSI X58 board to compete and results will likely be less then stellar.

Yeah. This is my issue. I need to buy a MSI X58 board and a Core i7 975 to compete

[Buckeye]

That kind of happened with the last ASUS contest didn't it ?

Not that great of a turn out as many would have had to go out and purchase a ASUS board to be in the event. At least thats what kept me from being in it.

[stummerwinter]

German online qualification done, I'll be in munich: MOA Germany



See you there...

[Trouffman]

yeah See you there man !

@Deux that wasn't in france... only MSI mobo

[loonym]

Yeah. This is my issue. I need to buy a MSI X58 board and a Core i7 975 to compete

Don't forget msi cards

[[XC] gomeler]

Don't forget msi cards

[Deux]

I emailed MSI US about it asking them to reconsider. I'll be stunned if they do, but it certainly can't hurt

[Mean Machine]

Marco_MSI: I suppose you or someone you at least know is in charge of the nordics, where I competed in both Finland and Sweden, since I've got dual citizenships. I read at Muropaketti today and saw you'd make a decision tomorrow, which is fine, but why hasn't anybody tried to even contact me about it? That's my first and hopefully only issue. The second thing might become an issue, the rules in both countries clearly stated "Every citizen of <country> may participate", so I made a very literal interpretation of that and participated in both countries. Now, I hate to spill this out this openly, but it seems I have no other way of reaching you... I've spent €750 on three half-assed E8600 CPU's (yes, that's of my own money) and if I don't get something in return even though I've fully complied with the rules I won't be all too satisfied.

I just wanted to make it clear how I feel about this, if anybody would care. I hope I won't get disqualified over this and once again want to point out that I wouldn't have written this here if I'd have any other way of reaching you.
