What the crew says

Questions

Frequently asked

Is the blog really free to read?+

Yes. Every guide, review and patch breakdown is free forever. Memberships simply remove ads and unlock extras like same-day patch notes and coaching. We'll never paywall the core writing.

Which games do you cover?+

We focus on competitive shooters, MOBAs, ARPGs and the odd standout indie. If a title has an active ladder or a community worth writing for, it's on our radar. You can pitch coverage of anything through the contact form.

Can I write for WarriorFireEmpire?+

Always keen for new voices. Send a short pitch and a writing sample via the contact form. We pay per published guide and give full byline credit. Melbourne-based writers can also drop by the desk on Little Collins Street.

How does the coaching call work?+

Warlord members book one 45-minute video call each month. You send a ranked VOD ahead of time, and a coach walks through your decision-making, rotations and macro. Calls run evenings AEST to suit working schedules.

Can I cancel a membership anytime?+

Absolutely. Memberships are month-to-month with no lock-in. Cancel whenever and you keep access until the end of the paid period. No cancellation fees, no awkward retention emails.
