Who We Are
Built by gamers, for the Fitzroy gaming community.

Our floor team are working players and casters who tune every rig, calibrate every monitor to 240Hz, and keep the energy high from open till late. No memberships required, no judgement — just great hardware and good people.
- 240Hz tournament monitors on every PC station
- Licensed café serving snacks, energy drinks & coffee
- Coaches and casters on the floor every league night
