Fitzroy · Melbourne
Where Melbourne's Gamers Forge Their Legend
A premium esports lounge and competitive gaming club on Rose Street — RTX battlestations, tournament nights, and a faction that plays to win.
Our Story
Built by Players, for Players
LinkFactionForge opened its doors on Rose Street in 2019 with a simple idea: give Fitzroy a home-ground worthy of serious competition. What began as eight rigs in a converted warehouse is now Melbourne's most-loved grassroots esports venue.
Our 32 battlestations run RTX 4080 GPUs on 240Hz displays, our stage seats 120 for finals night, and our coaches have taken local squads all the way to national brackets. Whether you queue solo or roll deep with your faction, you belong here.

The Faction Speaks
Reviews
The best rigs in Melbourne, hands down. I dropped from 40 to 4 ping and my aim has never felt cleaner. Thursday ladders are a blast.
