Who we are

More than a squad — a training ground on Curtain Road

Team strategising around a screen

Coaching that reads your replays

Our analysts break down your VODs frame by frame — positioning, economy, cooldown discipline — then build a two-week improvement plan you can actually follow. No vague pep talks, just measurable rank gains.

Players at a LAN night

A clubhouse open seven days a week

Twenty-four fibre-wired battlestations, a soundproofed scrim room, and a lounge for the after-match debrief. Members drop in from noon to midnight, whether they want a ranked grind or a casual Friday LAN.

Went from Gold to Diamond in one season. The replay breakdowns caught habits I never noticed, and the coach's two-week plans actually stuck.

Friday LAN nights are the best value in London. Great kit, zero lag, and a genuinely welcoming crowd. I now come every week.

★★★★☆

The bootcamp pushed our five-stack to actually qualify for a regional bracket. Structured scrims and honest feedback made all the difference.

As a returning player I felt rusty, but the membership lounge and casual scrims eased me back in. Staff remember your name and your rank goals.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a certain rank to join?

Not at all. We coach everyone from hard-stuck Silver to aspiring pros. During your free intake call we assess your current level and match you with a coach who specialises in your game and rank bracket.

Which games do you support?

Our coaches actively play Valorant, League of Legends, CS2, Rocket League, and Overwatch 2. If your title isn't listed, get in touch — we regularly bring in specialist guest coaches for the community.

Can I just drop in without a membership?

Yes. Day passes are £15 and give you a full battlestation for the day, from noon to midnight. Friday LAN nights are £10 on the door, and coaching sessions can be booked à la carte without a membership.

Where exactly are you based?

We're at 96 Curtain Road in Shoreditch, a two-minute walk from Old Street station. The clubhouse entrance is on the ground floor with step-free access, and there's secure bike parking out front.
