With The Magnificent Seven starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt heading to cinemas this month,  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Twitch, the social video platform and community for gamers, have teamed up to create an epic showdown featuring seven of the top Counter-Strike: Go online players.

Fans can join in on the action as these seven gamers test their skills as Saviors vs. Bandits through a special Western-themed map.

On September 19 from 4 PM – 6 PM (PST), Twitch will create the ultimate showdown for a true fan event that will allow viewers to interact with the seven gamers and suggest “handicaps” as they battle each other to become the last gamer standing.

To the victor go the bragging rights on an epic gun battle!

Hosted by GoldenBoy along with commentator John “Blu” Mullenm, the event will air live on Twitch as well as on www.Mag7Showdown.com and include special messages from stars Chris Pratt and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, as well as exclusive footage from the film.
