Where the city comes to compete
Since 2019 we have hosted over 480 LAN nights, run weekly ladder finals, and sent three local rosters to national qualifiers. From after-school squads to corporate teambuilds, the Forge runs on the same gear the pros do.

About the Forge
Built by players, tuned for ranked
We started in a Collingwood warehouse with six PCs and a fridge full of energy drinks. Today the Forge spans two floors: a quiet ranked zone with acoustic baffling, and an open arena wired for BYOC tournaments of up to 64 players.
Every station is calibrated weekly — peripherals swapped, panels colour-matched, and drivers patched the night before each event. No queues, no lag spikes, no excuses for that whiffed clutch.
- Wired-only 1Gbps fibre, sub-3ms in-house ping
- Pro peripherals: Vipers, Apex Pros, custom keycaps
- Onsite techs and a full repair bench during events

Player reviews
Heard around the lobby
Went from Gold 2 to Diamond in eight weeks of Tuesday coaching. The VOD reviews caught habits I never noticed on my own stream.
We hosted our company tournament here and they ran the whole bracket flawlessly. 48 staff, zero technical drama, one very loud grand final.
The only place in Melbourne with wired fibre this clean. My ping is lower at the Forge than it is at home — clutch city.
Brought my under-15 squad for a bootcamp weekend. Coaches were patient, the gear was spotless, and the kids haven’t stopped talking about it.
