MSI BEAT IT 2011 has moved into the playoffs stage, seeing eight teams left in contention for glory and prizes. 

The total number of teams has decreased from 16 to eight as the second day of DreamHack Winter has come to an end. It is not over yet, as several big names remain in contention for today.

Naturally, all of the remaining eight teams are aiming for nothing but the gold, or should we say the pot of gold, which contains approximately $16,000 in hard cash and laptops provided by MSI.

In total there is a little over $30,000 in cash in addition to hardware, so the teams who perform well and manage to place among the top four will not leave Jönköping empty-handed.

Quarterfinal match-ups:

10:00	SK Gaming	vs	Natus Vincere
10:00	fnatic	vs	Anexis
13:30	Lions	vs	AGAiN
13:30	ESC Gaming	vs	mousesports

Played out in a best-of-three, single-elimination bracket, SK Gaming, Natus Vincere, fnatic and Anexis are the first four teams to be thrown into the pit. Who do you think will go through?
