HWBOT TeamCup 2013 Stage 4

Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2013-04-26

The Team Cup 2013 is in full progress. The sandbagging strategy of most of the teams is set into overdrive. Till now no one besides a polish team has started off stage 4 of the Team Cup. Main objective is to share our passion for high speed and extreme cooling methods with an unknown audience.

First stop was at the MSI OC event, which took place at the CDROMLAND shop in the Netherlands. But the team of Madshrimps also got a nice get together at the Tones shop in Heist op den Berg, just a few weeks back. Last friday our last support act was done with support from Gigabyte and Kingston at the 2BY2 distributor Centre in Merksem Belgium.

I wasted already too many words, time for some pictures and lets start the final countdown for the HWBOT Teamcup 2013 !

Conclusion

I must say I was at first glance shocked by the monstrosity mista Massman had created when he officially launched The HWBOT Team Cup 2013. Such a wide variety of setups and graphics cards were required to set scores in each benchmark. Testing skills, architectural knowledge and modding capacities to the maximum.

Till now Belgium's Madshrimps OC Team is still in the lead, but the art of sandbagging is necessary evil wtih these kind of online competitions. In the final minutes of the competition some teams will pop up out of nowhere and grab top spots and points. It's all part of the game and it's a behaviour we are getting accustomed too.

The amount of submissions and participation is pretty intense with the usual teams battling it out till the end. It would be absolutely no surprise that some Polish, Greek or Indonesian team would pop out off the blue and claim the overall victory in the final segment of the competition. Let's keep our fingers crossed that our humble Madshrimps Team can stay in the top 3 position. Not bad for our little five headed team! This even with our star Overclocker Team Captain and HWBOT CEO Massman totally absent from the rankings. Probably floating somewhere in heated swimming pool surrounded by a dozen of Taiwanese Tom Cruise fans. It's a dirty job but he does it with pride !

The countdown has started, the Team CUP 2013 competition is over on the 30th of April.

A big thanks goes out to the guys at Tones webshop, for hosting another great OC day at their facility
