Who we are
A gaming house built for the grind.
Founded in 2017 above the laneways of Surry Hills, we turned a five-seat scrim room into Australia's most-watched grassroots esports program.
Our 40-seat training floor runs 240Hz rigs, low-latency fibre, and dedicated VOD review bays. Whether you are chasing your first ladder rank or a spot on a Tier-1 roster, our coaches build a plan around your role, your game, and your schedule.
We compete in League of Legends, VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, and Dota 2 — and we produce every one of our home events in-house, from stage to stream overlay.
- Individual VOD review with role-specialist coaches
- Purpose-built LAN floor in the heart of Surry Hills
- Pathways from academy ladder to Tier-1 tryouts
- Player welfare, sports psych, and anti-burnout coaching

Player words
The results speak.
Players who climbed, teams who lifted trophies, and organisers who trusted the Forge.
Six weeks of Rank-Up Coaching took me from Gold 2 to Ascendant in VALORANT. My coach rebuilt my crosshair placement and comms from scratch — it clicked completely.
The weekend bootcamp was worth every dollar. Real scrims, honest VOD reviews, and coaches who actually watched my replays. Our five-stack qualified for the Harbour City Cup right after.
We handed our whole 64-team CS2 event to the Forge and they nailed the production — observers, overlays, casters, the lot. Cleanest LAN we've ever run in Sydney.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Everything you need before you book your first session at the Forge.
Not at all. We coach everyone from hard-stuck Silver players to aspiring pros. Your intake session includes a skill assessment so your coach can pitch drills at the right level. Complete beginners are welcome in our Rookie Rush weekends.
Our core titles are VALORANT, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, and Dota 2. If you play something outside that list, get in touch — we can often pair you with a guest coach from our network.
Our Surry Hills floor has 40 tournament-spec rigs with 240Hz monitors and low-latency peripherals, so you never need to bring anything. If you prefer your own mouse and keyboard, you are welcome to plug them in.
