About StormUplink

Independent. Passionate. Australian.

The StormUplink team

Who We Are

StormUplink was founded in 2021 by a group of passionate Australian gamers who felt the local esports scene deserved a dedicated, independent voice. Based in Melbourne, our team of writers, analysts, and tournament organisers covers everything from indie titles to AAA blockbusters.

We believe great games deserve honest reviews — not reviews shaped by advertising relationships or publisher pressure. Every score on StormUplink reflects genuine playtime and critical analysis from our editorial team.

Beyond reviews, we are deeply invested in growing the Australian esports ecosystem. We partner with venues across the country to host grassroots tournaments and provide a platform for emerging competitive players to get noticed.
