The idea for the After Hours Gaming League (AHGL) came from an in-house StarCraft II tournament at Facebook which Sean ‘Day[9]‘ Plott, a StarCraft shoutcaster, was invited to host.

Day[9] then recruited eight teams from among the most prestigious high tech companies in the world – Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Yelp and Zynga – to compete in the ultimate gamer showdown.
