Our Story
A decade turning raw aim into repeatable results.
What began as a single VOD-review desk above a Collingwood café is now Victoria's most structured competitive-gaming academy. We are analysts, former semi-pro players, and coaches who believe improvement should be measurable, not mystical. Every program is built on data, deliberate repetition, and honest feedback.
- 2016
The first review desk
Founder Daniel Reyes started reviewing Counter-Strike demos for five local players out of a shared workspace on Smith Street. Word spread through Melbourne's LAN scene within a season.
- 2019
A dedicated studio
We fitted out our Collingwood studio with eight calibrated 240Hz stations, moved to structured curriculums, and welcomed our first full-time Valorant analyst.
- 2022
Online programs launch
Remote coaching over encrypted VOD tooling opened the academy to players in Perth, Brisbane, and regional Victoria without the travel.
- 2025
Three titles, one method
Today we coach across Valorant, League of Legends, and CS2 with a shared framework: baseline, plan, drill, review, repeat — measured every fortnight.
Programs & Method
How we actually make you better.
Each program pairs live coaching with structured homework and fortnightly progress checks. Expand a program below to see exactly what is included.
You submit two recent competitive matches. A coach annotates crosshair placement, utility usage, and decision points, then walks you through the timeline live. You leave with a written action list of three habits to drill before the next session.
A fortnightly cadence of coaching, targeted drills, and accountability check-ins built around one goal rank. We track headshot percentage, first-contact win rate, and objective control so progress is visible on a dashboard, not a hunch.
For five-stacks and amateur rosters: we review a scrim block, map default setups, and rebuild your mid-round comms. Includes a shared playbook document and role-specific feedback for each player.
Supervised sessions on our calibrated 240Hz stations in Collingwood with routines tailored to your title. Coaches correct sensitivity, warm-up structure, and movement so mechanical gains actually transfer into matches.
A focused block before an event: opponent research, ban-phase planning, nerves management, and a match-day routine. Designed for players and teams entering Melbourne LANs or online qualifiers.
