As is known, recently, LCK Spring 2024 is suffering from extremely serious incidents related to the network transmission, causing a series of matches to be affected. At the moment, the BTC of the tournament has decided to switch to a closed competition and only report to the audience online after the game has ended. The incident was determined to have a hacker attacked by DDOS but the LCK has not yet announced a thorough solution. The latest “victim” for this incident is T1 in the match against Fearx.
DDOS is still raging at LCK Spring 2024
However, according to some Korean streamers, this DDOS incident has influenced not only the LCK tournament but also for the entire Korean rank server. The examples given are climbing the rank extremely difficult, so many people are not very interested in this activity anymore. However, this view of streamers and many Korean netizens have been questioned. For example, in the case of Faker, in the past few days he still climbed normally, about 4-5 matches a day on schedule of T1.

But recently, some other comments have said that DDOS may be related to the LPL area. Specifically, a male streamer named Kim Min-kyo with about 674k followers tested and played with League of Legends client of the Chinese server. As noted, Kim could not play League of Legends in a week. But when using the client from the medium server, he played normally and no longer had DDOS. According to LCK media, streamers are testing a variety of ways and excluding to find out the true cause of the DDOS incident.
The Korean media reported that some streamers have switched to the server's client and no more DDOS
Many viewers were surprised when the LPL client installation could play games more effectively than the client right on the welding server itself. There is an opinion that only one “conspiracy theory”: “Is it suspicious that the middle server is not affected by being operated from Tencent, not Riot or the DDOS case is related to this area?”.
Immediately, there was a “conspiracy theory” that the DDOS case may be related to the medium server or even Tencent and Riot.
But anyway, everything just stopped at the rumor and no one dared to assert anything. The only thing for sure is that the DDOS incident is extremely serious influence on the LCK Spring Tournament 2024 and there is no sign of ending in the near future.
