Matched LAN stations in a dark bootcamp room

Rooms · 2026

Setups with a job, not a mood board.

Three rooms the circuit uses: a Melbourne bootcamp, the Sydney broadcast desk, and the bag that flies to Hobart.

Six battlestations lined up for a bootcamp

Melbourne

Southbank bootcamp row

Six identical stations so a scrim block is about the game. Violet bias light stays behind the panels. Nobody brings a mystery pad.

NetworkOne switch, wired only, ping posted on the wall
AudioClosed headsets, team comms on a separate channel
House rulePeripherals labelled before the first map
Analyst desk with monitors and a microphone

Sydney

Phillip Street broadcast desk

This is where the split is called. Dual ultrawides, a boom that does not enter the frame, and a second screen that is only for drafts and veto notes.

PictureDual ultrawide, bias light at the rear edge
VoiceBoom mic, acoustic panels, crowd feed ducked
NotesPaper rundown plus a quiet keyboard

Compact kit packed for a tournament weekend

Any city

Carry-on finals kit

Domestic hops punish bulky cases. The kit that keeps a player familiar on a Hobart or Perth stage fits in a cabin bag and still has a spare cable.

In the bagMouse, pad, headset, short board or controller
CablesDisplay, spare USB, a labelled power brick
Left behindRGB trees, open-back cans, untested feet
Morning ofSkate check, polling check, audio check
