Who we are
A home ground for players chasing the top of the ladder.
Tucked into a converted warehouse on Peel Street in Collingwood, ChampionForge is Melbourne's dedicated esports academy. We run structured coaching for Valorant, League of Legends, CS2, and Rocket League — pairing every member with a coach, a review schedule, and a squad. Whether you're stuck in Gold and want out, or you're an aspiring pro chasing an OCE roster spot, we build the reps and the mindset to get you there.
Ex-pro coaching staff
Our coaches have competed in OCE Challengers and LPL circuits. VOD reviews are honest, specific, and mapped to your role.
Tournament-grade hardware
240Hz displays, low-latency peripherals, and a 10Gb LAN so ping is never your excuse. Just show up and lock in.
A squad, not a queue
Solo-queue burns you out. We build five-stacks, run team VODs, and enter you into weekend ladders as a unit.
Training programs
Pick your grind. We'll build the roadmap.
Every program includes a skills assessment, a dedicated coach, and access to our Collingwood arena. Prices in AUD.

Player stories
The climb, in their words.
I came in hard-stuck Gold 2 in Valorant. Four months into the Ranked Accelerator my coach rebuilt my crosshair placement and comms — I hit Diamond in the last act and finally believe I belong there.
The Pro Pathway squad is the reason I got a Challengers tryout. Analyst prep, real scrims against ranked teams, and someone actually holding me accountable between sessions. Worth every dollar.
My son joined the Rookie Bootcamp instead of grinding alone in his room. He's calmer, more focused, and made a genuine group of mates. The coaches treat these kids like athletes, not just gamers.
