About us

Built by players, for players.

BlitzBattleEmpire opened in 2019 in the heart of Fitzrovia as a quiet rebellion against noisy, cluttered gaming cafés. We stripped everything back to what matters: fast machines, clean sightlines, and a room engineered for focus.

Today we host over 40 tournaments a year across CS2, League of Legends, Valorant, and Rocket League — from Tuesday-night newcomer ladders to our flagship Empire Open with a £5,000 prize pool. Membership stays deliberately small so every seat feels earned.

Founder & Head Coach

“I spent ten years grinding ranked from a cramped bedroom in Camden. BlitzBattleEmpire is the room I wish I’d had — no distractions, real coaching, and people who take the game as seriously as you do.”

“Six weeks of VOD reviews with Marcus took me from Gold to Platinum in Valorant. The coaching here is genuinely tactical, not just vibes.”

“Our five-stack books the team room every Sunday. Being able to scrim with a proper casting feed changed how seriously we practise.”
