Riot implicitly confirms the problem of T1 and Professional League of Legends has not been solved over the past time
In the evening of November 25 (Vietnam time), many viewers were extremely surprised when the DDOS situation continued even though the 2024 season was over. Specifically, Doran after joining T1 has continuously encountered this case when ranked. Therefore, the defending champion of LCK cannot practice despite trying to find the match many times.
Doran also got involved ddos
Riot himself also shows how helpless they are. And recently, on the hackernews, a rather unexpected post made the IT community stir. Specifically, the content of the post is rewarded about 100k USD (2.5 billion VND) for anyone to find a way to solve the issues of DDOS that is outstanding in League of Legends.
In the listed tasks, including “DDOS attack on a certain player” and “Choose to disconnect some of the game” The highest hanging. These tasks are probably added in Riot's old post for hanging bonuses for hackers to find system vulnerabilities, including security, Vanguard or server error.

What does T1 have on Riot's decision?
In fact, T1 is said to be the most influential team from DDOS. Throughout 2024, at least 2 times T1 had to disclose information about DDOS in press conferences. The team itself has sought to solve but all are ineffective.
Moreover, if T1 constantly has to deal with DDOS itself, it will also affect the image of Riot and League of Professional League, including the LCK BTC. Because this is revealed that they are very weak in protecting the interests of the team and the players. Moreover, if from DDOS when playing with the players, it is ordinary players who will also have trouble and from there have a negative perspective for League of Legends or Riot is easy to understand.
It is possible that T1's more or less impacts affect Riot's decision
However, no one said it is a way to “hang reward” will be effective or not, when the problem of backlog has been long and increasingly complicated.
