Microsoft wins undefeated in Starcraft 2 After Hours Gaming League

Forget about market share or profits, Starcraft 2 rankings is what matters and as of two days ago Microsoft just became the undefeated champions of eSports’ After Hours Gaming League winning the $5000 prize money for the charity of their choice, Amnesty International.

During the grand finals at Facebook’s headquarters, the Microsoft team defeated Zynga in a 5-set match to take out the competition’s first prize with a relentless 7 wins 0 loss season record. During the preliminary rounds, Microsoft played against and defeated all of Google, Yelp, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook and Dropbox.

The captain of the Microsoft team, Nathaniel “NATO” Tucker, credited the support from Redmond for their success in the competition. “We have a very active of people who love Starcraft at Microsoft so it was really their support to give us the energy to dominate this season.” The team also sported a cool shirt with the slogan “Macro hard, Microsoft” and the race symbols of Starcraft in the style of the “I love Windows Phone” shirt.

  1. I’ve been watching this whole series for the AHGL and damn has Microsoft dominated. Every once in awhile there would be a game that they lost or that it was close, but in the large majority of the games the Microsoft players just crushed their opponents. I can’t wait to see the next season in the fall to see if Microsoft can remain undefeated. 😀

  2. Ooh I wish I had that cheque!!!! Just imagine what I could do with all of that money………

    1. How do you know that? Do you know them all personally? Didn’t think so. At least they’re successful, unlike you, internet tough guy.

    2. Actually I’m a big gamer and placed in many tourneys and I have 8 baby-momma’s, been married 3 times, and currently dating a new girl who is expecting her first. So, we get women too.
