The first weekend of city-based Australian esports action wrapped up on Sunday with three Street Fighter V and three Rocket League matches played out at the Gfinity Hoyts Esports Arena.
Melbourne Order and the Sydney Chiefs were the big winners of the day, both of them recording victories in both their Rocket League and Street Fighter V battles, while Perth Ground Zero dominated in Rocket League but had a Street Fighter V win stolen from them by Melbourne Avant.
Melbourne Order come out of the weekend as a whole with the most to crow about, having beaten the Brisbane Deceptors in all three of their matches.

5:40pm: Well – that was clinical. Sydney Chiefs smash Sydney Roar 4-0. Ouch.
And the champions of NSW for Week 1 are @SydneyChiefs as they take out both #RocketLeague and #SFV against @SYDRoarSports. Will these clubs meet again in the playoffs? We'll just have to wait and see! pic.twitter.com/rUcFNxuMNh

5:05pm: Sydney Roar and Sydney Chiefs coming out now, they’re up next.
5:00pm: Cheeky bloke ROF. He had no reservations about bringing the smack talk, and Melbourne Order got the win to back him up.
The 'Villain' of the FGC? Do you agree?
Regardless, no one can doubt that MEL @ORDER_army's @mgcROF certainly brought fire to the stage! pic.twitter.com/0U4EhZpp6Y— Gfinity Australia (@GfinityAU) June 3, 2018
4:50pm: Melbourne Order come away with a 4-2 win there – some close matches… and some not so close.
And that's the match! As @Zed_sfv takes the win over 2-0 over @Robbiesla. pic.twitter.com/TAR3d2x5Zu

4:00pm: We’re back for Street Fighter V. First up it’ll be Melbourne Order and the Brisbane Deceptors.
12:55pm: That is an absolutley devastating Game 3 win by Perth Ground Zero, giving Melbourne Avant the Brazil treatment with a 7-1 scoreline. They take the match 3-0.
That’s it for now – but all six teams will be back for Street Fighter V at 4pm.
Strong performance from Perth @GroundZeroOCE who took out the Bo5 match 3 – 0 vs Melbourne @AvantGaming! pic.twitter.com/TvfybMDwuI

12:40pm: Perth Ground Zero out to a 2-0 advantage in the final Rocket League match of the day – Melbourne Avant haven’t yet scored a goal in the first two games.
The ice breaker @simplycyrix puts Perth @GroundZeroOCE on the board within the first 20 seconds!

11:30am: It’s the Sydney Chiefs who are dominant so far in this match – they’re up two games to none and look set for a clean sweep.
Game 1 goes the way of @sydneychiefs 2 – 1 @SydRoarSports.
Opening into Game 2 a sweet double touch from @LimRL_ looks to carry on the Chiefs momentum! https://t.co/Q0T5jZ9Vih pic.twitter.com/AXHtmtBPLk— Gfinity Australia (@GfinityAU) June 3, 2018
10:55am: And Melbourne Order get the win! A strong effort from the Brisbane Deceptors in Game 3 to win that won 3-0, but outside of that the Order were dominant.
Next up it’s an all-NSW clash with Sydney Roar taking on the Sydney Chiefs.
Congratulations to Melbourne @ORDER_army who take out @BNEDeceptors, 3-1 in Week 1 @RocketLeague!

10:40am: Melbourne Order are off to a great start – they’ve won the first two matches 3-2, 2-1. It’s first to three in Rocket League, so the Brisbane Deceptors are in trouble.
