Built by gamers, tuned for Melbourne
We opened StormCyberArena.live to give Collingwood a proper home for competitive play — part LAN cafe, part streaming studio, part clubhouse. Here is how the arena grew.
The first 12 rigs on Smith Street
We fitted out a former jazz bar with a dozen custom RTX rigs and started hosting Friday LAN nights for the Collingwood crew.
Stream suites & the coaching program
Three sound-treated streaming suites went in, alongside our academy where ranked players coach newcomers on Valorant, CS2 and Rocket League.
The Storm Cup circuit
Our monthly Storm Cup grew into a citywide circuit with a $5,000 AUD seasonal prize pool and semi-finals streamed to thousands.
48 stations under one roof
A full refit doubled our floor to 48 stations, added a console arena and a filtered-coffee bar to keep the late nights running.
From empty room to battle floor
Drag the slider to see how our fit-outs turned raw Collingwood warehouse space into tournament-ready arenas.

Everything your session needs
Tap any facility to see what is included. Every station is cleaned between bookings and backed by our on-site tech crew.
RTX 4080 rigs paired with 27" 240Hz sub-1ms monitors, mechanical keyboards and swappable pro mice. Bring your own peripherals and plug straight in — every station has front USB-C and 3.5mm passthrough.
Three sound-treated suites with Elgato capture, key lighting, a Shure broadcast mic and dual-PC setups so you can play and stream lag-free. Hourly hire includes an on-call producer for your first session.
A 16-seat competition pit with a shoutcaster desk, 3m LED wall and instant-replay feed. We run the Storm Cup here monthly and hire it out for community and corporate events.
Symmetrical 10Gbps fibre with a <5ms route to Sydney and Melbourne servers, plus ranked coaches available for Valorant, CS2, League and Rocket League by the hour.
What the regulars say
Booked a stream suite for my first sponsored broadcast and the producer walked me through the whole setup. Zero dropped frames across a four-hour Valorant stream.

The Storm Cup is the most fun I have had gaming in years. Ran deep into the CS2 bracket, the shoutcasters knew their stuff and the LED wall made it feel like a real event.

My son does the Saturday academy sessions. His Rocket League rank jumped two divisions in a term and the coaches actually keep the kids engaged. Worth every dollar.
