    R5: Pro OC V2 - Pro OC Cup introduction

    in HWBOT Rev.5

    Posted

    If the Pro OCers decide what the Pro League is and what it should have, it WILL become self-serving, self-indulgent and a very closed circle...... is anyone going to disagree?

     

    Dino..... you mentioned people getting stale. I believe this is happening now. The Leagues had / have no start or end point. Nothing more demoralising than putting time effort and money into....what? I'm gonna pick my own situation here.... I understand it best :P I have some gold medals and some global points. I used to have more. Because there is no start or end point.... as soon as my points/ rankings drop.... who will remember them? How can I show to someone that I was ever "good" at this? Personally, I found that more demoralising than anything else. Having start and stop points and a permanent page showing the final leaderboard is a BRILLIANT idea.

     

    If OC is going to grow, we need to entertain people. People who have short attention spans. WE are at THEIR mercy. We can bend to what they want to see (is that selling out?) and catch some wider limelight or we can stay as a generally insular circle and things will probably shrink.

     

    Good words..

    First of all, relax. No need for personal attacks.

    We are not here for this reason. Also you cannot judge overclockers if they cannot/haven't do/done scores every day. ;)

    It will not be accurate.

     

    Anyway, wanna say the truth, which is that Pieter did NOT handle the communication correctly.

    Based on post #416 I can understand that he knows it aswell; thats why he replied to phil this way.

     

    Me Phil and Rsannino, we will create a team. Lets hope our hardware is at least enough. :)

     

    That's the spirit..gratz. Just don't fill your gemini with water. It's an Ln2 pot not a water pistol.

     

    Yamunsa: If you prefer lesser-than-extreme overclocking that's cool, to each his own eh? I gotta say tho that a lot of what I do now is with the help of the most talented VGA teams in the industry not limited to, but including TiNbo, and we always want nothing more than to push something as far as it can be pushed. For me, that is extreme overclocking, and nothing else counts as extreme overclocking. I learned this personally from my years benching with Shamino and this crazy old guy above me that only uses bold when he types.

     

    George massman lives in TW now, so I see him occasionally. He was referring to a visit last week to discuss new PRO OC league. At first I didn't wanna join but after some talking, I changed my mind. He just expressed to me his commitment to wanna change things up.

    Its a gutsy move yah, but the kid believes in what hes doing. I will give it a chance and like I said before old pro league was tired and imo becoming less relevant in overclocking/enthusiast scene in general.

    for me, as long as new PRO OC league keep focus on more modern benchmarks that are relevant and useful with computer hw being sold and marketed in MODERN TIMES, I think it will succeed where the old league failed at creating interest among more mainstream enthusiasts. I'm willing to at least give it my best shot. The managing the team aspect could be quite fun too :D
