In recent days, LCK Spring 2024 has been facing many difficulties and greatly affecting teams, players, operating systems, audiences as well as all the media surrounding the tournament. Because the 2024 LCK LCK is being attacked by DDOS and causing the matches to be converted to the form of fighting first – the following report. This makes the parties, including fans in LCK and internationally face many difficulties to watch the matches. At the same time forcing the LCK BTC to perform the adjustment of the reporting time frame accordingly.
The DDOS incident is seriously affecting the Spring LCK 2024
Recently, the BTC LCK continued to notify, but instead of the news that the LCK Spring 2024 has overcome the DDOS victim, it is simply the BTC side to change the narrative calendar and will correspond to the normal play time if broadcast live as before.
Specifically as follows:
“Hello, this is Aiden Lee, the Secretary General of the LCK. The DDOS attack began on February 25, which seriously affected LCK. Some matches were sudden postponement right before the live broadcast, and the previous matches were introduced as a temporary measure, had to be broadcast in the next time compared to usual. Meet the importance of LCK. Because of this, we sincerely apologize.
We realize that attacks on famous streamers over the past few months and LCK attacks have a difference in design and scale. We started investigating streams right after they occurred, and we took steps to report attacks on LCK to the authorities and functional forces right after they happened because we believe these DDOS attacks are clear illegal acts. We are working with the global teams of Riot Games, related parts and internal and peripheral experts to analyze the cause of the attack and apply prevention measures.
LCK has implemented a step -by -step moving plan to advance to normalization by protecting the ability to resist DDOS attacks. There may be some changes depending on the situation, but the basic plan is to move from the previous broadcast to live broadcast without the audience, and then return to normal operation.
Since the last DDOS attack, additional protection measures have been deployed at LOL Park. There are a number of attacks during the previous broadcast, but so far effective protection measures have been effective. Therefore, we plan to move the broadcast time to record the normal time of 5 pm started from the first match of week 7 on March 6. The weekend matches will also be broadcast at 5 pm.
In addition to additional protection measures, we will soon introduce a more reliable system at LOL Park. We hope to deploy it earlier, but in fact, the conditions for more time require time. If there is no big problem arising in this process, we plan to return to normal as soon as possible so that fans can watch and support their favorite teams at the stadium. If there is any change, we will continue to update.
A complete closure of LCK will affect teams, players, fans, sponsors, viewers, streamers, journalists, LCK staff and countless others in the ecosystem. We believe this is what the criminals behind these DDOS attacks are wanting. When a method is blocked, they seek to attack another way, so it is difficult to predict what will happen. But regardless of the situation, we will find the solution. We will do everything we can to ensure that LCK is constantly.
We apologize to saying this, but LCK needs your support and encouragement during this process. We are aware that we have not achieved goals
We regret to say this, but LCK needs your support and encouragement during this process. We are aware that we have not achieved goals in some areas. Our top priority is to control this DDOS attack and bring LCK back in the right direction with your support.
When the situation is stable, we will review our processes and reactions comprehensively, to ensure that you can continue to enjoy your experience with LCK. We sincerely apologize again for this inconvenience. ”
The latest announcement of the BTC LCK on the DDOS incident
However, it was the LCK BTC in the notice that also emphasized an extremely important idea: “At the time of only reporting the matches in a projection style, it still recorded some cases that still suffered DDOS”. This means that the tournament is not really okay. In addition, the notice also made the comment of the organizers that the disturbing person who wants the tournament must actually close. This is definitely a prospect that no LoL audience expects. But obviously, DDOS actions are constantly affecting the current tournament.
According to the BTC LCK, they have not solved the problem thoroughly
Before that, there was a lot of information and discussion of the world League of Legends community about this. The LCK media said that it could be related to the LPL area – which was a rival and was defeated by T1 in the recent Worlds. But then according to the LCK BTC, the expressions and ways of the DDOS tournament with the LCK streamer encountered the same case are not the same.
Before that, there were many doubts to LPL for this sabotage action
It would be a disaster if LCK Spring 2024 had to postpone indefinitely, not only for this area but also League of Legends. Therefore, perhaps the audience will have to accept solutions because the BTC itself and Riot are also trying to solve the problem.
