HWBOT World Series Asia Contest
The highlight of the HWBOT World Tour 2016 Asia event was the inclusion of an Extreme Overclocking contest were twenty six of the globes leading Overclockers gathered to compete for cash prizes on Intel’s latest Extreme Edition processors. Each day Overclockers used liquid nitrogen to push the Intel processors to the absolute limit, with 1v1 Face Off rounds at the end of each day to decide who would appear in the Semi-Finals and Final.
At the end of a week of extreme overclocking the contest came down to a single, thirty minute head to head contest between two of the world’s most respected Overclockers with Indonesia’s Hazzan facing Poland’s Xtreme Addict in a bid to win $1,000 US dollars in cash and a ticket to the HWBOT World Championship in Berlin later this year. At the end of an enthralling 1v1 contest Xtreme Addict was declared the HWBOT World Series Asia champion.
