On April 21st at Red Bull headquarters in Santa Monica, teams from Amazon, IBM, EA, and Epic will compete for $10,000 in the After Hours Gaming League Season 2 Grand Finals!
The AHGL is a corporate league where normal nerds from major companies battle for fun and charity! Instead of having players from top professional teams, the AHGL consists of players from the following 30+ major companies: AMD, Adobe, Amazon, Digital Extremes, Dropbox, EA, Epic, Ernst & Young, Facebook, FactSet, Gearbox, Geek Squad, Google, IBM, Intel, Legend3D, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Mozilla, NVIDIA, Palantir, Pipeworks, Promethean World, Qualcomm, RapidShare, Shopify, TwitchTV, Twitter, Western Digital, Zappos, and Zynga. Phew. Quite the list eh? :D
In AHGL Season 2, there are two divisions: Starcraft 2 and League of Legends. In each game, teams are duking it out for the chance to donate $5000 to the charity of their choice. Blizzard Entertainment and Riot Games have kindly donated the prize pool for SC2 and LoL respectively! Huge thanks to each company for supporting community events so generously <3.
A major goal of AHGL is to help legitimize eSports in the West, to show that Starcraft 2 is an amazing platform for fun, friendly competition and teamwork WE're better than corporate softball!
