MSI official monitor partner of BlizzCon 2023

Gaming and PC hardware manufacturer MSI will serve as the official monitor provider for BlizzCon 2023, providing its gaming equipment to attendees and event competitors.

Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.

MSI will provide its G253PF 380Hz Rapid IPS Esports gaming monitor for all halls and all competitive gaming including the Overwatch World Cup Finals. The Blizzard-sponsored competition seeks to crown an Overwatch 2 champion from among the top eight teams.

Atendees will also be able to try out MSI’s Optix G273 monitors throughout every hall. In addition, MSI will have a booth on the show floor featuring a lineup of 4K Ultrawide, QHD, and QD-OLED monitors. It will also engage in a number of activities such as a quizlet scavenger hunt, where participants can win prizes, and surveys that reward participants with MSI-themed keychains, lanyards, and bags.

The last time that MSI worked with BlizzCon was 2019, but in July the two companies collaborated on the launch of Diablo 4.

BlizzCon will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, from Nov. 3 – 4. For the first time, key events and competitions will be broadcast live and for free on Blizzard’s official Twitch and YouTube channels.
