During the weekend that just past us in the calendar, MSI held the Grande Finale of Master Overclocking Arena, in Beijing, China. The teams, gathered from all over the world, now including South America, competed in two benchmarks, wPrime 1024M and FutureMark's 3DMark Vantage. Team Sweden, consisting of Jon "Elmor" Sandström and Henry "ME4ME" de Kruijf, won the first benchmark by a margin of 0.3 seconds to Team USA 2, closely followed by Team Australia. The competition continued with 3DMark Vantage, Performance Profile, where Greece, Poland and Sweden fought for the top three spots. Sweden was in the lead for long, but near the end Greece managed to climb on top by a margin of 18 points, 18763 vs. 18745 points.
After adding up the scores from the wPrime round with the 3DMark round Team Sweden was still victorious, with Poland on second and Taiwan on third. The official scoreboard can be found here.
Beside the honor they got a check for $3,000. Not too shabby for a day's work.
