The line so far

Every station on our journey

We started as five clan-mates streaming from a spare room. Today we're a full editorial crew mapping the competitive scene one guide at a time.

2017

Founded in a Leeds flat

Five friends started posting late-night raid clears and patch notes after ranked sessions in Holbeck.

2019

First 100k-read guide

Our world-first boss strategy hit the front page of two subreddits and doubled the community overnight.

2022

Dock Street studio opens

We moved into a proper capture studio on Dock Street with a test bench for every review we publish.

2024

40,000 Guardians strong

Our Discord and newsletter now reach players across the UK, running weekly coaching nights and LAN meetups.

How a guide is made

From first pull to published route

01

Grind & capture

We clear the content repeatedly on our own accounts, recording every mechanic and damage window in 4K.

02

Test the theory

Rotations and builds are benched against the numbers so nothing goes out on vibes alone.

03

Write & diagram

Each fight becomes a clear route map with callouts, timers, and positioning any player can follow.

04

Publish & patch

We ship it, then update within 24 hours of every balance patch so the route never goes stale.

Rider feedback

What the community says

"Followed their mythic route callouts and we cleared the boss in two pulls after weeks of wiping. The timers were spot on."

Dan H. — Sheffield · March 2024

"Their mid-range GPU review saved me from overspending by £180. Real numbers, no marketing fluff, tested at 1440p like I actually play."

Priya S. — Manchester · January 2024

"The Thursday coaching nights took me from Gold to Diamond in one season. Genuinely the friendliest gaming crew I've found in Leeds."

Marcus O. — Leeds · November 2023

Before you board

Frequently asked

—Does it cost anything to join the Guardians?

The blog, guides, and Discord are completely free. We also run an optional supporter tier at £5/month that unlocks ad-free reading and priority coaching slots on our Thursday sessions.

—Which games do you actually cover?

Our focus is competitive PvP shooters, MMO raid content, and tactical team games. We publish a new strategy piece every Tuesday and Friday, plus hardware reviews whenever notable gear lands on the test bench.

—Can I write for the blog?

Yes. We welcome pitches from players with proven high-rank experience. Send a short outline through the contact form and our editors will get back to you within a week with feedback and rates.

—Are your hardware reviews sponsored?

We buy or independently source everything we test and clearly label any loan units. No brand gets to edit a verdict, and scores never change in exchange for advertising.
