Respawn LAN is Melbourne's best LAN gaming group, dedicated to bringing you the best BYO PC (bring your own PC) gaming available. Drawing upon expertise and experience from events such as the Big Day In and AGDC LANfest events, we aim to bring the most well-rounded LAN gaming experience. Our team consists of both people who have been involved with the largest events in the country and new, dedicated gamers who bring a fresh perspective to the team, giving us the ability to better understand and cater for a wide range of gamers.

Respawn is run on a volunteer basis - no member of the team individually profits from the events so every cent collected at the door is used to provide a better experience for the gamers.

The best of both worlds

LAN groups in the past have always focussed on either professional gaming with high prize pools or a focus solely representitive of the casual gamer. We aim to offer both professionally-oriented gaming competitions alongside more relaxed games and our unique AFK activities for those who want to take a break.

Location

We currently hold our events at La Trobe University's Union Hall, leveraging our relationship with the venue stafff

Rock-solid infrastructure

We use only the best networking equipment, produced by Cisco Systems to ensure that all games are lag-free with unparallelled reliability. All power is fed directly from three-phase outlets in our venues to provide sufficient power for the increased popularity of high powered graphics cards and multi-core processors. We are in the process of re-engineering our server infrastructure to provide failover in the event of an outage to ensure minimual disruption to competition play. The network and servers are maintained by working IT professionals with a passion for technology.
