Eric Kuo, MSI Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, talks about renaming the annual gaming tournament from Beat IT to Masters Gaming Arena, "The rename marks our determination to evolve and do even better as one of the world's leading gaming brands. Years of MSI Beat IT gaming legacy will be carried on in the name of Masters Gaming Arena. MSI's gaming spirit and unflinching devotion to eSports live on.

MSI MGA will kick off with regional qualifiers for the United States, Europe and Asia.

The 4-day Grand Finals will be held in late August in the United States, where the best gamers from all around the world will compete over more than $200,000 USD in cash prizes and travel support.

ESL, the world's leading eSports company, proudly announces that it will be working with MSI for the MSI MGA 2015 event, as a major partnership that is the first of its kind for MSI and ESL. "MSI works hard to help promote and elevate eSports to a new level.
