Shoreditch Esports Academy
A calm, focused training home in East London where competitive players build the mechanics, mindset, and match IQ to climb from ranked ladders to the main stage.
What we coach
Every player starts with a free performance review, then follows a structured pathway with a dedicated coach. Sessions run daily from 10:00 to 22:00 GMT at our Redchurch Street arena.
VOD-reviewed, position-specific coaching for League of Legends, Valorant, and Dota 2. Your coach sets weekly homework, tracks rank deltas, and rebuilds decision-making habits one game at a time.
Full-roster preparation for regional qualifiers: managed scrim schedules, in-house analyst, comms coaching, and daily review sessions in a private practice room off Brick Lane.
We plan, run, and stream community and university tournaments — brackets, observer setup, casting, overlays, and a two-camera broadcast from our in-house studio.
A supervised weekend pathway that pairs mechanical drills with healthy-habit coaching — sleep, posture, and screen balance — so young players improve without burning out.

Good to know
Not at all. We coach players from Iron and Bronze up to Radiant and Challenger. Your free performance review sets a realistic starting point, and your coach builds a pathway from wherever you are today.
Our core titles are Valorant, League of Legends, and Dota 2, with junior academy support for Rocket League. If you play something else competitively, contact us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
We're at 47 Redchurch Street in Shoreditch, a two-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street station. The arena is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00 GMT, including weekends for junior academy and team bootcamps.
Yes. Our production team handles brackets, observers, casting, and a full two-camera broadcast. Tell us your title, player count, and date, and we'll build a plan and quote within two working days.
We do. Most 1-to-1 rank climb sessions can run remotely over Discord with shared VOD review, so players outside London train with the same coaches on the same structured plan.
