All events, from the "Rome Arena" in Taipei in 2008 and the "IT Olympics" in Beijing in 2009, to the "Star Wars" in Taipei in 2010, and to the "Military Operations" of this year for the promotion of board card marketing, attract overclocking masters from all over the world. They are all looking forward to this big event and this significantly enhances MSI's prestige in the overclocking community." The grand final of this year's MOA will be staged at the stadium of National Taiwan University in Taipei.

The solid camouflage, the elaborate tunnels, the mammoth fighters, the soldiers parachuting from the skies, as well as the liquid nitrogen used for rapid cooling of equipment in overclocking competitions and floating clouds of smoke, will combine to reproduce a battlefield that is set to thrill the spectators!
