MihaiMacarie Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 If we are selected, we will receive free accomodation or something like that? Quote
Massman Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 No, this is primarily for overclockers who are already attending CES. For those attending, there's the option the bench on the freestyle day. But you have to already be at CES. Quote
Massman Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Yeah, just your best kingston/hyperx memory clock and then the list is drawn randomly Quote
Gunslinger Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) So in reality you just have to use Kingston/hyperx memory and do a frequency submission to grab one of the open seats? No problem just confirming. Edited December 12, 2014 by Gunslinger Quote
Massman Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Correct, it's as simple and open as that Quote
Random Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 DAMN! if only i had a car... or something I live in AZ. And i have been dying for an excuse to whip out my kingston bdbg kit ESPECIALLY to introduce it to some COLD -tatm Quote
itsakjt Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 If we are selected, will we get travel tickets for going to the event? Quote
Massman Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 No this is an invitation for overclockers who are already going to CES. Quote

So sry for kingston and HyperX No one called anyone such a name. Please don't talk this way ... Quote
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I highly doubt that they'd do that. Edited December 31, 2014 by TheMadDutchDude Quote
marmott Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Just to clarify, I think the misunderstanding come from the highest level of embargo by the US (targeting 5 countries including Iran) being called "State Sponsors of Terrorism", the US Department of State gave it this name not Kingston. We really misjudged how serious the subject was and the implications it can have for any US company. Kingston put a lot of effort for clarifying the situation between the end of the EMEA qualifier and the last communication with the Iranian contestants, it was reviewed by the legal departments and advisors back and forth. For more information on the sanctions you can look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargoes#Countries Again it is very unfortunate we can't have Varand at the Finals in Vegas but it is completely out of our control... His spot at the Finals will not be filled by someone else. Quote
Splave Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Ahh this sucks, sorry to hear. Too bad the USA is so stringent "protecting" us. Shame Quote
Crew Trouffman Posted December 31, 2014 Crew Posted December 31, 2014 Sad news indeed, less issue in doing this in Taiwan... or closer in Canada * wink wink * Thing put apart, There is nothing Kingston could do about this at it come from the GVT iself Quote
marmott Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Sad news indeed, less issue in doing this in Taiwan... or closer in Canada * wink wink * Thing put apart, There is nothing Kingston could do about this at it come from the GVT iself The issue is not the location of the finals but that Kingston Technology is a US company and because of that has to follow the US department of State policies.

Mehdi_FXX Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 @marmott tnx for your explaining but! we spend many time and cost for this competition, if iranian will not allowed at final, kingston must reported to HWbot and HWbot make a news (because of that we dont know HWbot adminastator as a responsible), after End of competition beside of not fair play, kingston easily said you cant be at final + we cant send your prize! our team like others team never waste their time and many but now happend and explain is not enough dude, kingston can Compensate the costs anyway!

Crew Trouffman Posted January 2, 2015 Crew Posted January 2, 2015 The issue is not the location of the finals but that Kingston Technology is a US company and because of that has to follow the US department of State policies. Indeed. that is actually a bit ore difficult, i was thinking in a way it wouldbe taiwanese company with 'branch office"... Anyway similar things happenned in the past at other competition with countries not able to display their flag because of this kind of political issues Quote
CL3P20 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I will be there.. didn't have memory to make a sub. looks like there is going to be 17 empty seats..? Quote
