Our Story

BlastCores was founded in Sydney in 2021 by a team of competitive gamers, journalists, and esports enthusiasts who believed the Australian gaming community deserved better coverage. What started as a small review blog quickly grew into one of Australia's most-read gaming platforms.

Today, our editorial team of twelve writers, analysts, and tournament correspondents covers everything from AAA blockbusters to indie gems, with a particular focus on the thriving Australian esports scene.

We attend major events across the country — from Melbourne to Brisbane, Perth to Sydney — delivering first-hand reports, player interviews, and unbiased game reviews that our readers trust.
