Our story

Built by players, lit like a film.

We opened Emerald Battle Vanguard in 2019 as a proper home for Melbourne's competitive scene — a place where the lighting, the gear and the silence between rounds all feel like the final act of a movie.

Just off Lygon Street, our Carlton floor runs 32 tuned battle stations, a shoutcast booth and a 60-seat arena. Whether you're grinding ranked or chasing a trophy, we keep the frames high and the drama higher.

The room

Every seat has a spotlight.

Letterboxed lighting, acoustic-treated walls and per-seat sound cancellation mean you hear the footsteps and nothing else. Our team retunes every rig weekly so your inputs never lag behind your instincts.

Open Mon–Thu 10am–11pm, Fri–Sat 10am–2am, Sun 11am–10pm. Walk-ins welcome, but the best seats book fast on tournament weekends.

What we offer

Everything a competitor needs.

Transparent pricing in AUD, no hidden fees — just seat time, coaching and events run by people who play.

The crew

The people behind the frames.
