Our Mission

A scriptorium for the modern competitor

Neon Treasure Citadel began in 2016 as a five-seat LAN corner on Grosvenor Street and has grown into one of Victoria’s most trusted esports studios. We treat every match like a manuscript worth illuminating — reviewing VODs frame by frame, drilling map craft, and building the mental routines that hold up under bracket pressure. Whether you are climbing your first ranked ladder or preparing a roster for the ANZ Championship, our coaches, analysts, and broadcast crew work beside you from scrim to grand final.

Reviews

Voices from the ladder

What players, parents, and event organisers say after working with the Citadel.

“Six weeks of ranked coaching took me from Gold 2 to Diamond 1. Marcus rebuilt my crosshair placement and my mental reset between rounds — the difference was night and day.”

Liam H.

Richmond, VIC · March 2025

“The Citadel produced our university LAN and the broadcast looked genuinely professional. Overlays, casters, replays — all handled without a hitch.”

Sophie N.

Carlton, VIC · January 2025

“My son joined the weekend academy and the change in his teamwork and attitude has been brilliant. Coaches actually care about the kids, not just the wins.”

Andrew P.

Kew, VIC · November 2024

“Priya’s analytics packets are a cheat code. We finally understood why we were losing mid-game and fixed it before the playoffs.”
