DFRAG

We build experiences worth watching.

Broadcast, software and event operations under one organisation, from a purpose-built Brisbane studio.

[ Book a conversation ]

One organisation for broadcast, software and competition.

DFRAG Media Group designs and delivers complete competitive gaming experiences from Brisbane, combining tournament operations, live production, content and purpose-built software.

Our work is grounded in Counter-Strike, with production experience across formats and audiences. From studio broadcasts to interstate LAN events and remote production, we take projects from concept to delivery.

Studio location

Our purpose-built esports studio is in Banyo, Brisbane, near Brisbane Airport and accessible to the CBD.

Where DFRAG sits in Counter-Strike.

Counter-Strike is the core competitive specialisation — formats, operations and broadcast shaped around how the title is played and produced.

Core specialisation

Counter-Strike

Primary competitive specialisation across online and LAN formats.

  1. 01

    Core title focus

    Formats, rulesets and broadcast language built around Counter-Strike as the primary competitive product.

  3. 03

    Region

    Oceania regional focus

    Competition and coverage oriented to Australian and wider Oceania audiences and partners.

  4. 04

    Fit

    Production + ops under one roof

    DFRAG connects tournament operations, studio broadcast and software rather than handing each layer to a different supplier.

A pathway for Counter-Strike in our region.

We build the competition systems, community leagues, flagship events and international pathways that grow Counter-Strike across Australia and New Zealand — from first matches on DFRAG.gg through to Valve Ranking System participation on the global stage.
