Firstly, to understand LaG one must understand that there is a society of people who are not bound by geographical borders who play computer games over the internet against and with each other. This society has celebrity, villains, royalty and heroes. It is within this society that LaG exists and has done so for quite some time.

LaG started as an idea shared between founder Donnie Garvich and some friends who were local to him geographically. They had always played video games together (mostly console games) and had recently begun to get into the wonders of online FPS (First Person Shooter) games. As their interest in these games grew so did their skills and they quickly became a group who could easily defeat almost any randomly put together group of internet gamers.
