    R5: Pro OC V2 - Pro OC Cup introduction

    in HWBOT Rev.5

    Posted · Edited by Xtreme Addict

    Firstly I was against the idea of removing PRO League, I was more like adding PRO OC Cup to the existing league. I am still thinking that for most of us it would be the best solution, but all in all after some chill-out thinking I realized this PRO OC Cup doesn't seem to be that bad. In my case, it will give me few advantages:

     

    - time frames, there is a winner, more viewers, more interesting for vendors - more news on websites, more achievements - bigger PR value = bigger support

     

    - page with sponsors of teams, users, with banners etc.. It's very good for those (like me) who need vendors support = more value for PR, bigger vendor support

     

    - only 5 benchmarks - more time to find out tweaks, more time for other things like extreme reviews, bios/mods testing for vendors, extreme overclocking/mod guides, more time for pretesting settings, more time to find golden cpus/gpus and what is important for me - more time to take part and preparing for vendors contests organized with HWBOT with prizes, the same with preparations for MOA/GOOC/AOOC

     

    - making it more marketing will help those who constantly were talking that OC needs too much $ and they can't compete with sponsored or rich overclockers.

     

    What would I add?

     

    I think that a really good thing would be prizes for each Cup. Nothing more works for viewers, participants as prices. One Cup could be sponsored by Asrock, second by MSI, third by Gigabyte or simply mix them up. Could be $ prizes, hardware prizes. They don't need to be crazy high.

     

    And in fact - after second season there will be ranking with overclockers based on Cup performance. It will be better for those who are taking part constantly. Now in PRO League you can be 1st, but when new generations come and you will not do new results, you will be in the end of league. In new ranking history counts and seasonal time frames are good for persons who don't have too much time.
