Phantom Hero Empire started as a LAN night above a print shop in Collingwood and grew into a Victoria-wide ranked circuit. We run open qualifiers, weekly ladder resets, and a studio finals night where amateurs share the stage with sponsored rosters. No gatekeeping, no pay-to-win — just craft, patch notes you can read, and a scene that answers your DMs.
Scenes from the Oxford Street floor
Practice pods, casting desks, and the sold-out finals wall — this is where the Empire actually happens.
Finals night on the main stage — Season 6 grand final, packed house.
01 / 04Everything a ranked season includes
Tap a panel to unpack how the Empire runs. Every tier is transparent, and pricing is in AUD.
Anyone with an account gets full ranked access, weekly Sunday resets, and placement matches. You keep your climb history and hero mastery forever. No battle pass gate, no locked heroes — the entire 34-hero roster is playable from your first match.
Priority queue on ranked, entry into the Tuesday and Thursday scrim blocks, and a monthly VOD review from a top-500 coach. Members also get a reserved seat in the Collingwood practice pods and cosmetic drops that never touch gameplay balance.
Book the Oxford Street studio for your team: five tournament rigs, a casting desk, and an on-site tech. Sessions run 3 or 6 hours, seven days a week, 10:00am–11:00pm. Perfect for bootcamps ahead of open qualifiers.
Free-to-enter qualifiers run the first weekend of every month, feeding a 16-team season bracket. The grand final is played live on our studio stage with a shared community prize pool — last season it hit $12,000 AUD across the top four squads.
Players who climbed with us
Real members from around Victoria and beyond — here is what a season inside the Empire looked like for them.
“Went from hard-stuck Gold to a top-32 qualifier finish in one season. The Thursday scrim block and the VOD reviews are what actually moved the needle for me.”
“Booked the studio for a three-day bootcamp before finals. Five identical rigs, zero ping issues, and a tech who fixed our peripheral setup in minutes. We placed second.”
“I came in never having played ranked in my life. The free ladder and the open qualifiers meant nobody cared that I was new — just that I turned up and improved. Now I main support in a full squad.”
“The patch notes are actually written by people who play the game. When a hero got out of line, it was nerfed within a fortnight and they explained exactly why. Refreshing after years of silence from big studios.”
