zeropluszero Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks Pieter. That's because you cheap out on accom.... Just crash with me. I'll airbnb or a place or get a nice 5star hotel for the week. All I heard here is, "Hey Matt, I'm paying and you dont have to pay a cent!" If you'll be getting in-calls, make sure you tie a sock to the door. Quote

Massman Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Before you ask, I cannot help you with either "venues" or "pricing" Quote
M.Beier Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) As far as I remember, the 5 star hotels in Taipei are fairly pricey... $280/night or higher. I use AirBnb this time around... I would recommend anywhere near MRT.... It is very easy to get around.... Blue line is most ideal, but honestly, if brown, red or green line, no problem... Not a big deal.. If only consider ease of getting back and forth... Google maps: Nangang exhibition and then Taipei 101....... And finally: TWTC I honestly dont remember good/bad areas too much, this might make Massman giggle..... But, I think near Taipei City Hall MRT station would make sense... EDIT: Speaking of the devil, turns out W Hotel & Le Meridien is in that area, but it wont be cheap. Edited April 13, 2016 by M.Beier Quote
Mylth Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I might be there but I still have no confirmation. Quote
zeropluszero Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 2. Event dates are May 31 - June 4, competition every day with the last day being the final. I want to announce the exact details ASAP, but there are a couple of things that need to be sorted still. Eager to hear this @Massman I'll be basing my trip around it. Quote
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Also, I've got myself a ticket as an International visitor, that gets me into Computex for June 2nd – June 5th, 2015 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Is it possible to arrange access for the two earlier event days? I got the info from here: http://www.computextaipei.com.tw/en_US/show/info.html?id=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689&sFuncID=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689 Still says 2015, so presume it's wrong. But in the past, international visitors had access for the full time of the event? Edited April 14, 2016 by FatBoyNotSoSlim Quote
zzolio Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 i thik you got the days wrong I am an International visitor as well an I have access all days Quote
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 i thik you got the days wrong I am an International visitor as well an I have access all days Yeah, I was basing on wrong information... http://www.computextaipei.com.tw/en_US/show/info.html?id=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689&sFuncID=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689 is still full of 2015 dates and times.

zeropluszero Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Oh, and where do I buy the best range of duty free liquor? Quote
Massman Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Eager to hear this @Massman I'll be basing my trip around it. Believe me, here will be where I post the details first! :celebration: Yeah, I was basing on wrong information... http://www.computextaipei.com.tw/en_US/show/info.html?id=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689&sFuncID=8507045EE3547428D0636733C6861689 is still full of 2015 dates and times. Try https://computex.leadexpo.com/EN-index.html Quote
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Just looks like the visitor information on the website is still 2015 dates, hence the confusion. Quote
FireKillerGR Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Still no clue if I will make it this year. Wish I will eventually, as I owe some beers since last time. Quote
Massman Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Eager to hear this @Massman I'll be basing my trip around it. From May 31 until June 4 we are Nangang Exhibition Hall, 4th floor (9AM - 6PM). A ticket gets you a table in the area where you can bench all you want or participate in the World Series competition. The World Series competition is the same format like every event: qualifier + 1vs1 finals. May 31: 3h qualifier, top-2 in 1vs1 final June 1: 3h qualifier, top-2 in 1vs1 final June 2: 3h qualifier, top-2 in 1vs1 final June 3: 3h qualifier, top-2 in 1vs1 final June 4: 2x semi-final + bronze final + grand final If you win the day event, you qualify for the final day. The winner on June 4 grabs the ticket to the World Championship. Just like any other World Tour event, this is a BYOC gathering. However, we are looking to figure out how to get the monitor/psu/hw arranged so you don't have to travel with too much gear. Stay tuned for more details :celebration: ! Quote

Pardon my ignorance, I've not been too much on hwbot in the past long while.. Ticket, as in a qualifier? Or everyone interested in OC that will attend computex and have access? Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted April 15, 2016 Crew Posted April 15, 2016 I hope there's some freestyler room too Quote
Massman Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I hope there's some freestyler room too Like with the Gamers Assembly, the space is yours with a ticket. If you want to use it for preparing the GSKILL competition, no problem. If you want to use it to show the power of an Overclocker Pentium Overdrive go ahead. Quote
Dancop Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I hope there's enough time for both, g.skill and world tour...although I doubt I'll qualify for g.skill[emoji14] Quote
Massman Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 G.SKILL had already reached out to sync our programs. Since the live qualifier style will be the same like the previous years (2h timeslots), it will be possible for people who are interested to qualify for both competition finals. The big final of GSKILL's World Cup is on Friday, the World Series is on Saturday Oh and FYI guys ... keep your agenda open for the evening on May 30th Quote
