Our Mission
Give every player a room built to win in.
We opened in a Collingwood warehouse because inner-north Melbourne deserved a proper home for competitive play — not a dusty internet café. Every rig is tuned, every chair is ergonomic, and every coach has laddered the ranks themselves. We exist to shrink the gap between where you are and where your aim, game sense and nerves can take you.
What We Do
Four ways we level up your game
Arena Rental
24 battlestations with RTX 4080 rigs, 240Hz monitors and low-latency fibre. Drop in from AU$12/hr or grab a 5-hour squad pass for AU$45. Open daily 10am–11pm.
Ranked Coaching
90-minute 1:1 sessions with Diamond-and-above coaches across Valorant, CS2, League and Rocket League. Full VOD review and a written action plan. From AU$85/session.
Custom Battlestation Builds
We spec, build and cable-manage your dream PC in-store. Free consultation, 3-year workmanship warranty, same-week turnaround. Builds from AU$1,900.
Tournament Production
Broadcast-grade streaming, casters, overlays and admin for your LAN or online cup. Prize-pool handling and community brackets included. Packages from AU$650.
Case Studies
Events and builds we're proud of
LAN Event
Derby Street Showdown
A 48-player Valorant LAN across one weekend with an AU$5,000 prize pool. We ran two elimination stages, a live cast and a sold-out spectator floor.
Coaching Program
Iron-to-Diamond in 12 Weeks
A structured cohort of 20 CS2 players. 84% climbed at least two ranks; four qualified for a regional amateur circuit.
Custom Build
The Fitzroy Flagship Rig
A watercooled 4090 streaming build for a local content creator, finished with brushed-brass accents to match the studio's art-deco fit-out.
Community
Collingwood Ladies' Night
A monthly women-and-nonbinary-only arena night that grew from 8 to 60 regulars in its first year across Rocket League and Overwatch 2.
The Crew
The people behind the rigs
Mara Voss
Founder & Head Coach
Former Oceanic Valorant semi-pro. Ten years on the ladder and the sharpest VOD eye in the building. Runs the Diamond+ coaching program.
Deng Achol
Systems & Build Lead
Certified PC builder who has assembled over 600 rigs. If it needs watercooling, cable-braiding or a BIOS argument, Deng is your person.
Priya Naidu
Tournament Director
Runs every LAN and broadcast on the floor. Ex live-events producer who keeps 48-player brackets on schedule and on stream.
Jonah Reyes
Community & Arena Manager
The friendly face at the front desk. Books your sessions, hosts Friday LAN and knows the meta in six games at once.
Reviews
What our players say
"Went from Gold 2 to Platinum 3 in Valorant after eight sessions with Mara. The VOD reviews actually changed how I think about the game, not just my crosshair placement."
"Deng built me a 4080 rig that runs everything at 240fps and looks like a piece of furniture. Honest advice, no upsell, done in four days."
"Our uni society ran its end-of-semester cup here. Priya handled the whole broadcast and the bracket ran perfectly. Everyone's already asking when the next one is."
"Friday LAN is the highlight of my week. Great rigs, great people, and Jonah always makes new players feel welcome. Best gaming spot in the inner north."
