During the World Tour event, every overclocker with a bench spot is eligible to compete in the World Series competition. The competition stages and hardware limitations are identical to the previous two World Series competitions held in Canada and France. There are three stages: SuperPI 1M Hardware Points, Target Score, and Cinebench R15. The hardware is limited to the event partners, so: ASUS, HyperX, Intel, and Seasonic. In addition to the points for the OC-ESPORTS Official World Overclocking Ranking Season 2015, there are prizes to be won as well.

From our event partners we are able to give away bench tables, an upcoming GPU, the Rampage V Extreme, a HyperX DDR4 memory kit, and a HyperX SSD. Also, we provide a cash prize to the top-3 of the World Series. The total cash prize purse is double the revenue from ticket sales, which at the moment of writing stands at USD $1040 (prize purse USD $2,040).

The exact start and end time of the World Series competition will be announced closer to the event. Be sure to grab your bench spot ticket as soon as possible as only 15 are left at the moment. You can register for a ticket via Eventbrite.

Some hardware will be provided by the partners, but make sure to check if you have the right gear with you to compete. Note that there is no limitation to the platform. That means yo
