Sennheiser PC350 headset;

The weekend of Frag-o-Matic 14.1 is over! The crew has invested a lot of effort and time the past months to make the 14.1 edition a huge succes yet again; for example the dozens of competitions, hours of animation and side activities, a great prizepool and so much more!
This means that a big thank you is warranted. First of all to our volunteers who helped us by doing some shifts, adminning the competitions and so much more necessary tasks that need to be done to make our event a succes!
