What's the deal, ASUS has an OCing competition and there's like almost zero coverage of it?

Because Asus doesn't pay HWBOT (doesn't support it) so there would be no info on hwbot, no news and so on Who cares, that it was the biggest live event (contest) in Europe this year Remember that HWBOT stopped to be the portal who spreaded the name of overclocking, but now is a marketing machine for sponsors.

Yup, that's what we're all about :woot:

 

(fyi - we received 0,0 official information about this event)

So fun to see people think it's all just black and white... there's more behind this then just some sponsorship

Lots of sponsorship?

there's no real coverage as all the people who could post some coverage are still sobering up

Should have been press before the event, since there apparently was live stream coverage ......

I saw some pictures on PCLab.pl and HWBox.gr. And on the inevitable Facebook of course. If they wanted direct coverage on your (or other sites), they would've made sure that would have been the case as they have all the knowledge and resources for that. The fact that you weren't contacted directly means you either don't represent the target audience (local marketing) or are not "big" enough (ie: small userbase).

 

As far as I understand the contest, it was a local event with "celebrity" invites. Local event, ergo local media. Makes perfect sense.

Yup, that's what we're all about :woot:

 

There you go, the man himself has said it. What has been conspiracy theories is now confirmed.

final results

I will share some additional info and contest pics these weekends but firstly I'd like to say THANKS! to ASUS, Intel, Corsair, CoolerMaster and Kiev CyberSport Arena and personally slamms for making this event come true! They are not often mentioned but did great job and provided a big fun bunch to the OC community (at least to some guys for sure:)))
