We are a team of passionate Australian gamers dedicated to delivering honest, insightful gaming content to the community.
MechaStorm was founded in 2021 by a group of Sydney-based gaming enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of locally-focused gaming coverage in Australia. We believed that Australian gamers deserved reviews and tournament coverage that understood their unique perspective — from server latency concerns to local esports scenes.
What started as a small blog has grown into one of Australia's most trusted gaming portals, with a dedicated team of reviewers, esports journalists, and community managers spread across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
