The crew

Ranked staff who actually play.

Our floor team are competitors first — they fix your sens, call your rotations and run the events you show up for.

I run the floor like a team house — clean rigs, fair queues, and a coach on shift every night. If something's off, find me, I'm usually on station 12.

Good to know

Questions before you queue up.

Everything you need to plan your visit to Rivington Street.

Walk-ins are welcome whenever stations are free, but Friday and Saturday evenings fill up fast. We recommend reserving a station or squad room online if you're coming after 6pm on a weekend. Reservations are held for 15 minutes past your slot.

Your hourly rate covers a full battle station — PC, 240Hz monitor, mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse and headset. Game libraries on Steam, Riot and Epic are pre-installed; you just sign into your own accounts. Lockers and water refills are free.

Under-16s are welcome until 8pm when accompanied by an adult or with a signed guardian form on file. After 8pm and for our late ladders the floor is 16+, and a few mature-rated tournament nights are 18+. We'll always check ID for those events.

Absolutely — plug in your own keyboard, mouse or controller at any station. For birthdays, team socials or corporate nights we hire out squad rooms and the finals stage; email us and we'll build a package around your group size and budget.
