What's Snowball?
Snowball Esports is the voice of esports and gaming across Australia and Oceania. We aim to provide a platform for media coverage — from interviews and breaking news, to predictions and analysis — on competitions around the region and Oceanic personalities aboard.
The publication was first founded in 2017 by two local and avid esports fans, Andrew Wray and Reece Perry, who were frustrated by the lack of information available regarding competitions, as well as feature coverage of off-season moves, and opinion soundboards.
From there, the dream of two blokes looking to share their passion about League of Legends, Counter-Strike, and esports down under has blossomed into the largest independent coverage website in the region, and now operates under Go Next Media.
Snowball Esports now boasts dozens of talented content creators, from journalists and feature writers to editors, producers, designers, and more. With this team, our publication strives to bring more of the content our valued readers crave, and deserve.
As long as esports in Australia, New Zealand, and across Oceania have a place in people’s hearts and a future to grow towards, Snowball will continue to provide dedicated coverage on every pentakill, ace, hat-trick, and more.
