Who We Are

A Homegrown Arena Built by Players, for Players

We opened on Burwood Road in 2019 with eight PCs and a single tournament dream. Today Quantum Wild Protocol runs 40 RTX 4080 stations, two soundproofed shoutcaster booths, and a lounge that has become the unofficial living room of Hawthorn's gaming scene.

Everything is calibrated for competition: 360Hz monitors, low-latency fibre, sanitised peripherals between sessions, and staff who actually understand the difference between a peel and a whiff. Whether you are grinding ranked or hosting your first LAN, the room is yours.
