About FragSoc
Who We Are
FragSoc is the University of York's Video Gaming and LAN society, operating as part of the University of York Student Union. We are a Games and Fandom society that welcomes gamers of all skill levels and interests.
Founded with the mission to bring together the gaming community at the University of York, we provide a platform for students to connect through their shared love of gaming, whether that's competitive esports, casual gaming sessions, or exploring new game worlds together.
What We Do
Gaming and LAN Events
We host weekly game nights along with LANs every term, bring your PC / Laptop / Console, or just yourself. A chill event, where you can meet and hang out.
At LANs there are many planned events such as tourneys, couch parties, viewing parties, 24-hour servers and much more are open to anyone wanting to participate, some even sporting prizes and goodies to win!
Once you arrive, our committee will PAT test any equipment you have and you are welcome to set up using the network ports and power sockets available! You will also be required to sign-in to our dedicated LAN channels in the FragSoc Discord to stay up to date on scheduled events and announcements.

University of York Esports
With the ever-growing student esports scene, we are the University of York's hub for national tournaments, varsity events and inter-college challenges within the University.
Each term we field teams for a range of games to compete in NSE and The NUEL tournaments, as well as ESL Masters, ETF2L, RotR and much more! Esports currently holds 4 points in our annual Roses event and FragSoc helps the University of York and Lancaster University organise teams and events each year.

Twitch Streaming
At FragSoc we also have a dedicated Twitch channel with a regular stream schedule consisting of our very own members. Contact the current Stream Managers if you would like to give streaming a go as we have plenty of resources to help you get started.
Special events and tournaments are also produced and streamed on this account so make sure to give us a follow. In the last charity stream we ran, we raised over £2600 to be split between Doctors without Borders, Macmillan Cancer Support and York Marrow!
