PizzaMan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Video by MSI Video by OCTV Video by Vivi MSI has been so gracious to give me the opportunity to offer press coverage for MSI's largest competition of the year. The Master Overclocking Arena finals in Taipei Taiwan on September 28th 2012. Press coverage will consist of recorded video with interviews of the competitors and MSI staff, along with live updated pictures from the event. MSI will be hosting a live stream of the event. PizzaMan and Kip69 from Overclock.net will be joining Trouffman and xyala via OCTV's live stream ABOUT MSI MASTER OVERCLOCKING ARENA "The MSI Master Overclocking Arena (MOA) is hallowed battleground for global overclocking masters. Every year MSI invites worldwide overclocking gurus, through on-line or on-site qualifications, for a high-tech showdown. Equipped with today's most powerful computers, each invited master challenges the limit of their equipment with their excellent overclocking technique, to win the honor of being crowned the worldwide overclocking master. These overclocking masters break world records under close watch of global media and fellow overclocking enthusiasts. MSI has achieved notable milestones in the field of extreme overclocking. Apart from the players-focused annual MOA contest, many other overclocking events are also hosted online or on-site to break worldwide overclocking records. The globally watched MOA competition has become the flagship of these overclocking competition series." Quoted from MSI's MOA site I'm here to say that this event is very much closely watched by most competitive overclocking teams, as we route for our top overclocking teammates who spend loads of time and money overclocking MSI motherboards and graphic cards in attempts to make it to the finals in Taiwan. Weather or not they are MSI fans, overclockers from around the world watch as their teammates take the year's top-end hardware to its limits. The event just seems to get better and better each year as MSI is dedicated to continuing to improve their products, and here is their gift to the overclocking community a stringent competition with awesome prizes throughout the qualifying rounds and free trips to the top overclockers in the world to the finals in Taipei Taiwan.

PizzaMan Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Cool! Might be interesting to keep track of the different media covering the event this year too. Fyi - there will be an official MSI livestream. Yeah, just got that email from MSI. There was some miscommunication about live streaming. Still not sure who is doing the streaming though. I would be glad to add links to any other media coverage for this event. Just let me know and I'll add them. An update: The event venue is National Taiwan University's Sport Center.

PizzaMan Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Think I got everything updated. Added OCTV's trailer to the OP as well. Instead of added an additional stream to the mix, OCN is teaming in with OCTV's live stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's dedicated time for winner interview as well as a timeframe for the media to interview all overclockers. Cleanup time has been scheduled too, so no one has to worry about the chaotic cleanup .
