HWBOT World Tour 2016: Day 2 – Hazzan Beats Rule
The second day of the HWBOT World Tour 2016 at Computex got underway today, as did the part two of the World Series Asia extreme contest. Day 1 was all about exploring the nuances of Intel’s new Broadwell-E platform, with most of the 25 overclockers using the platform for the first time. The first day doubtless had many overclockers scratching their heads a little, as any wholly new CPU would – would day two prove to be more fruitful for some new faces, or would yesterday’s cream of the crop rise to the top again?
The leaderboard at the end of play in fact had a kind of familiar ring to it with two of the previous day’s overclockers making it to the podium for a second consecutive time. In first place however we did in fact have a new face with Italian overclocker RULE winning the day’s action with a score of 62 points thanks to wins in XTU and Cinebench. In second place we have Hazzan who won the memory clock challenge in stage 2 while in third place we find our Swedish Semi-Finalist in waiting Rauf. Here’s how it breaks down in terms of prize money:
1st Place: $50: RULE (Italy)
2nd Place: $250: Hazzan (Indonesia)
3rd Place: $125: Rauf (Sweden)
Congrats to Hazzan who did really well to reach the 1v1 Face Off for the second time in as many days, joining Sweden’s Rauf in the Semi-Finals this Saturday.
