The MSI Beat it! World Champion Challenge is open to everyone regardless of age, gender, nationality, or where they are in the world. Teams go toe-to-toe with the most powerful weapons in gaming—the MSI GT660 and GX660. The GT660, for example, packs Intel's most advanced Core i7 processor and nVidia's best GeForce GTX 285M discrete graphics card (w/ 1GB GDDR3 of display memory) and MSI's own TDE+ Turbo Boost technology to throttle up system and graphics card performance at the touch of a button, greatly enhancing overall system performance and image processing capabilities. With the GT660 and GX660’s superior firepower, it's no wonder that EG and Fnaticmsi always go into battle armed with these mean machines.
