Because many users won't be able to buy it in their countries...
Anything what you can buy in market before competition start.

By the way, just a point I want to bring up.

I know the competition is pretty 'high-end', so not everyone has the financial capabilities to compete for the tickets. I see some of you are also writing ~ "we'll compete if it's more fair". But keep in mind that this kind of large OC competitions will only continue if MSI sees that there's interest from the community and one of the parameters is number of people that join the event.

Just saying that it might be more interesting from a community-point of view to join the event to support it (and write a small message "hey - please make it more fair") rather than posting a forum message saying you won't submit because of the rules. There's a difference between 15 people competing with 0 complaints (in the scores) and 30 people competing with 15 complaints (in the scores).

Just saying

Good words sir.

I uploaded my scores with a 7970 that's not more in my hands and a old P67 mobo that's not very good for overclock, I know that with my current points I will not win but my main idea was participate, maybe I have luck for win in the lucky draw.

In response to some questions regarding the upcoming 680 lightning and the APAC qualifier.

Regardless of the release date of the 680 Lightning, whether it's before or after APAC qualifier kick-off, it will not be allowed to use it during the qualifier. This to make sure the qualifier event is not just function of Lightning availability and/or sampling .

Newegg has Lightning stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127670



Not sure what the PE card is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127677

Maybe one of the MSI guys can chime in with some insight.
