Runs improved, brackets survived

A wall of players who trained with us across Sydney and beyond.

Shaved 47 seconds off my Super Metroid any% after Marcus rebuilt my route. Placed top 4 at my first Surry Hills cup.
Liam R.Liam R.Newtown, Sydney · March 2025
Priya scouted my whole bracket the night before. I finally beat the player who had knocked me out three cups in a row.
Chloe W.Chloe W.Bondi, Sydney · February 2025
Jesse recapped and RGB-modded my launch-model Mega Drive. No more sync drops — it looks and plays better than I remembered.
Daniel K.Daniel K.Parramatta, Sydney · January 2025
Flew in from Melbourne for a weekend intensive. The frame-data breakdowns alone were worth the trip — genuinely changed how I practise.
