About Us
Esports Collective is a community-driven initiative established by Anna and Deryck to fill a need for additional entertainment options for young people in the wider Bairnsdale area.
East Gippsland’s Gaming HQ
Esports Collective is a community-driven initiative established by Anna and Deryck, local parents who relocated to Paynesville in 2021. Identifying a gap in entertainment options for young people in and around Bairnsdale, they were inspired by their son’s passion for gaming and and the growing ESports scene around the world.
ESports Collective seeks to cultivate a vibrant community centred around ESports, providing a platform for social interaction, skill development, and positive engagement. We are committed to fostering excellent sportsmanship and a strong sense of belonging within a safe and inclusive environment.
Esports Collective is committed to expansion, using our Paynesville foundation to bring our unique model across Gippsland & beyond. Our goal is to contribute significantly to regional entertainment and education, and with community partnership, we believe we can build a blueprint for success in numerous towns.
