I'm going to see what prizes I can put up for EHW, so stay tuned for that.

I've been steadily working on rigs getting the PPD up for this event.

 

The dilemma now being which team to fold under. Since EHW was dying last year, I folded for [H]. 

 

CoolGTX just slipped by me the other day, so I'll probably fold for EHW until I retake the #5 spot on our team then switch to [H] for a little bit. 

 

If by some miracle y'all decide to really kick it in gear and we have a chance to place anything other than dead last, I'll throw everything I can at it.

YAY! I am going to have the pair of 1060's and hopefully a 4060 as well.

Good timing for me to get back into it I suppose. I'll try to have a few rigs active for this for sure.

I'll actively promote it on the Azalea City discord and see if we can get a few guests to join.

I'll be putting up good numbers for EHW regardless, although it's good to see a few more people in our corner.

I posted in eXtremeGaming as well.  See if I can't convince some new kids to join up again like last year.  It's all in good fun afterall!

I'll see if I can't get a few cards up and live before January 25th myself!  I'm still not comfortable on my AI Pro R9700, but I'd be happy to torture my 7900XTX and 1080Ti.  Maybe toss the 6950 XT at it too.  Idk, maybe the RTX 3050 I have laying around might do decent numbers too?  I'm trying to figure out how to NOT melt my apartment's wiring but get as many going as I can.
