About BattlePhantom

We are a team of passionate Australian gamers, writers, and esports enthusiasts dedicated to delivering honest game coverage and building a thriving competitive community.

Our Story

Born in Sydney, Built for Gamers

BattlePhantom was founded in 2020 by a group of friends who met at a local LAN event in Surry Hills, Sydney. Frustrated by the lack of Australian-focused gaming coverage, they set out to create a platform that spoke directly to the ANZ gaming community.

What started as a small blog has grown into one of Australia's most trusted sources for game reviews, esports tournament coverage, and gaming community news — reaching over 120,000 readers every month.

We are headquartered at Level 5, 100 Harris Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009, with contributors across Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.
