Magnificent Seven and Twitch Online Gamer Epic Showdown

With The Magnificent Seven starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt out in theaters next Friday, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Twitch, the world's leading 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.

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