The AMD Professional Gamers League (PGL), founded in the late 1990s, was one of the first professional league for computer gaming. The PGL was run by the Total Entertainment Network and was intended to do for computer gaming what the NBA, NHL and other professional leagues did for their respective sports.

The first-ever Professional Gamers League Finals took place on January 30 and January 31, 1998 in Seattle, Washington at the Sega GameWorks super- arcade. Two games were played in this competition, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Quake. Both tournaments featured 1 on 1 play with DeepBlue winning the Red Alert tournament and Dennis Fong aka Thresh winning the Quake tournament. Both players earned $7,500 and a new AMD computer for winning.
