Congrats to all the winners. By the way red text on a black background is incredibly hard to read.

Congrats to all who won! Was hoping to win after having a awful week this week, but that's life!  They should do something in future "Battle Royale" contests to disqualify people using "run in circle to get hours of playtime." Not sure how'd they check that other than a very high death count with not a lot of kills (could just be a bad player though  ). This happened quite often in my experience with a lot of CS:GO matches! (Maybe they were disqualified and I just don't know about it!)

I was pretty sure I wouldn't win too.
But just for fun I made this video... It's titled "Hitler finds out he lost a video competition"
I had this in the workings before they announced the winners this Morning.
Maybe EVGA will have a laugh with it too...
No insults intended towards the Judges of the EVGA Shadowplay Competition, it was all in good fun.
Only a playful pun, here's the link:

DUDE.... I haven't luled that hard in a long, long, long, long time. That was FUNNY. Not just saying "LOL" but actually laughed audibly and loudly. 
and to the other post, YES, your dang right I am whining. My system is very old (not that it matters) but my gripe is that every year it sure as heck seems like zombie accounts with a few real people thrown in. Yes, I dreamed too big, yes I thought that just maybe I would get a mouse at least. Yes I thought that dreams do happen. That is my right. Last time I checked, this was merica.
Just let me whine and be butt-hurt for a few posts. It is my coping mechanism. I will get over it like I do every year.
Well you are entitled to that I guess. But after one post of whining I just get fed up with the elitist entitled attitudes around here. OK, I'm done .

I thought it was great, I only did the Scavenger hunt, and knew from the get go my chances of winning were nil. But look forward to not winning again next year I love the headaches those hunts give me!

You know we have this problem every year, winners that are new and have 0 posts. I don't think EVGA is about to change their stuff, though I wish they would.

No they wont change it, though for years members here have been begging EVGA to do something for community members, or products owners. Some kind of restricted contest etc, but than you have people saying to get in voice chat as they have little give-aways with shirts / mice etc. Id bet close to 95% of ALL winners from event 1 until now are zombie accounts. Nothing we can do about it as voicing our displeasure for lack of community events leads no where. I won the same mouse I was sent last month due to being kick / banned during an event, Ill be doing some type of give-away for it as Im more than happy with my current one.

This is a giveaway and a form of advertisement. What good would it do them to alienate all the new people they are trying to get?
I will never understand the entitlement some people have. Even when it is a simple RANDOM FREE giveaway with thousands of entries. (Do this many people complain when they don't win the lottery which you have to pay to even have a chance?)

What if all the people that won the lottery every year were fictitious people made up by a group that got all the money? If you were playing poker at a big table and found out that 8 out of the 10 players were robots playing for the only other human other than you, would you be upset? What about when you are 80 and you live in a really cool old folks home that is a great group of friends that all swap war stories and they play a big game of Bingo at the end of the year but every year Old man Peters has 54 of his brat bastard grand kids come in to play and they win all the time by changing the odds would you care? While I admit to being butt hurt, My gripe is that these are clearly zombie accounts. Not all but MOST of the time. Every year. I knew the odds coming in, in fact a few pages back, I calculated those odds. I was pretty sure I was getting nothing. It is just disheartening to see some one like "LetsWinThis" with what I believe was a zero post count and just joined win, (Odd that his name now comes up with "No record available" now...) If the winners came on here and said "Yeah, I've been lurking on here for awhile" or "My friend told me about this great site" or whatever, then great. But it's usually hit and run and never heard from again. I do understand. It is a business and the more people the better. Doesn't mean I have to like it. Guess I'm getting cynical.One last thing..... GET OFF MY LAWN! I digress. Congrats to the weiners, I mean winners.

Just ignore 3 posts above. Hes ALWAYS making condescending remarks to people here and EVGA evidently doesnt seem to care about him or the way he represents the company.

Very well said... There is absolutely 0 way for any of us to know if it were a fair competition, let alone if those who did win were playing fairly. I am sure a lot of folks make multiple accounts to increase their odd's of winning, but I truely would like to see actual winners come and post up so we can at least see a post from them. Im also curious how many prizes (if any) go unclaimed because people made too many accounts and cannot remember them all lol.
