LOL - on teh talk show I was good for about 4 hours then totally hit the wall... Sorry, I bet I may have sounded a bit slow lol - though I lasted longer than E-Killer who I think fell asleep at the keyboard I bet

massman came prepared and did a great job. he definitely played it down during our radio show interview but there is no doubt he was going to take it out.....he looked very strong the entire night......

Straight from the news room

GO OC Europe 2010 “nail biting” regional final is over, massman wins, shock exit from hipro5 & elmor!

[M.Beier]

Very close results, the way it should be!!!

Dino , Do you guys @ GBT find any solution for crappy CPUs in final ? at least CPUs differences should be very little for final . It's 2D and no GOOD CPU definitely leads NO chance FTW .

BTW , Hope too see Elpida Hypers in Final :P

I got a feeling that the frequencies for finals will be close to the ones in Italian and French qualification.... Just a feeling

--------------------

Dinos22 & Trouffman; Please, I hope you guys just didnt think about what you said, or havent really thought the opinion through..... Any idea of the consequences if it becomes more "professional", if it becomes more of a job, not hobby/sport???

The prizes should NOT go up... The only thing that'll be acheived by that is;
1) No sharring / helping eachother
2) More OPB (cheaters)
3) Slowly but definantly killing the sport, as it will set entry barriers, barriers that most cant afford; Some are already pushing these to be set, screening 10-50 CPU's just to make qualifier... Basicly; This will mean that others just wont even bother participate, exactly like it happend in Gigabyte's SOC contest, prizes were too high, results went NUTS, but more interestingly, VERY few submissions, because no one really bothered....

If you do not agree with this, very well..... But I definantly DO NOT believe prizes should be any higher...
Besides; Dinos22 atleast has known for years that there is other rewards then prize at the given competition of which you do well.... In fact, he was the one to bring it to the light.... (Hence; UD9 testing wasnt exactly something that has never happend before? Point being; IF you are good, you will likely become a bit "professional" anyway... There are bonuses)

Thats all for now; over'n'sleeping

[pastelidis]

Congrats Massman...

Nice CPU

Ηave a nice trip Man...

[Olivon]

Nice Massman, great skill

[elmor]

Congrats PJ, it was a worthy win. I made a bad call and replaced my first cpu since I wouldn't have had a chance to win with it. Looking back it might have put me in top 5.

Shi(f)t happens, right George?

[Marco André]

The man is all proud



congrats massman!

[Oliver]

congrats to the winners and all the people who have got so far .

Beg up and keep pushing it

[KanGaXx]

hi @all

thanks a lot for the event, i really liked it.

my systems worked good until the end of round 1... after reboot on round 2 the motherboard fail and i could not run spi and decent wprime because only boot at default , so i was stunk with round 1 points... and i could not replace the board because 13:30 was expired ...
i finished 7 of 17 with only 2 benchmarks lol great!

grats for massman !

[Xyala]

I'm back home

Congratz massman ! Too bad for the king of sweden

I just posted all the pictures from the competition here : http://www.overclocking-tv.com/conte...-pictures.html
(as well as some pictures of Mallorca )

In the following days I'll post the event video as well as ITV with massman.
Thanks again to all the people that worked hard and got involved on the live talk streaming. It was a great success and at the same time the first live OC show of the history !
Thank you to the overclockers to have accepted the live interviews on stage, it gave a great inside view for the people on the stream.
And finally of course thanks to all viewers for their support, and do not hesitate to share impressions on the concept so we can make it even better next time

[loopy83]

Good job Pieter

[hiwa]

PJ

[Johnny87au]

W00T, grats!

[massman]

Thanks guys. As always, taking the win is somewhat about luck. MaxxMem had some guys puzzled and Slamms wasn't able to submit a Wprime score.

It was nice meeting the EU overclockers. Good to see new faces joining the live competition scene! Congrats to Perica (very well prepared!), Erdemolkun, Matose and Slamms for top-5 spots. Too bad for Elmor ... but maybe he just let this one slip so he can be fully focussed on the MOA WW Final

[toyone]

Congratulations massman and everyone.
Nice event. Thanks to have been involved
