A Viewers Guide to MSI MGA LAN Finals

The $75,000 MSI MGA Tournament has reached the final LAN stage where regions will finally clash.

Event Hub

MSI MGA is a combination of two groups that are quite familiar to most eSports fans. The Masters Gaming Arena has been home to many amazing events from all kinds of games. Overwatch's journey has finally reached its main LAN event. The LAN will happen on the 7th and 8th of December at the Gfinity Arena in London. After the online qualifiers, which started in October, three teams are left to represent their region + one invited team is there to represent MSI. All four teams are guaranteed prize money, but with the difference between 1st and 4th being $35,000 the teams have a lot to play for.

Qualified Teams:
 

  • Americas: Rise Nation
  • Europe: Ninjas in Pyjamas
  • Asia: KongDoo Panthera


Fnatic will be joining these three teams in the bracket as the MSI sponsored team. 

When:
 

  • 07:00 AM PDT/10:00 AM EDT/16:00 CET


Where:
 

With a loser's bracket and 4 teams to duke it out in best-of-5 matches, expect hours of exciting Overwatch action. Rise Nation fought its way through a stacked American bracket and dropped only 1 match to Team Liquid in the Regional Finals. NiP had similar success and dropped a single map to Misfits in the European Open Qualifiers. KongDoo Panthera found itself losing just one map to its sister team KongDoo Unicia, but has appeared strong in the Asian region otherwise. Fnatic will join these regional champions to fight for the 1st place title. 

It will be the first time ever that these first round matchups happen. Time to find out how fnatic will stack up against the Koreans, and vice versa. Similarly, RiseNation will have to hold on to the form they showed during the Qualifier (beating Cloud9 2-0 among other things) in order to stand a chance against the force that is NiP!
