A few weeks ago, the BTC LCK announced the 2024 Spring tournament encountered the DDOS situation. This makes the matches in the tournament have time to switch to a closed match and only report to the audience after the matches have been completed. Until now, the impact of DDOS is still there and LCK Spring 2024 is taking place in a direct competition but no audience. According to many predictions, it may not be until the playoffs start to start to be able to sell tickets again.
DDOS accident affects the LCK matches
Not only the tournament, but the Korean Rank server is also affected by DDOS and streamer, gamers here initially set many conspiracy theories for the incident. Even, some people switched to playing LPL server and still smooth. At that time, there were many words that said that the “great rival” of LCK had a trick to affect the quality of the teams here. But all of them only stopped at rumors. Until recently, many information has been facing T1 in the case related to DDOS.
The Korean rank server also has a problem that causes many streamers to switch to the LPL server and have made a conspiracy theory that the “great rival” area has “played” so that the LCK was ddos by DDOS.
Specifically, many people discovered T1 players are becoming victims of hackers who are DDOS in Korean Ranks. Even if these players rank and other teammates other than T1, DDOS is constantly occurring. Deft and Rascal are recent victims of the incident. Deft was ddos when the team was with Faker and Keria. Meanwhile, Rascal “granted attorney” when the same team with Gumayusi. Oner also felt frustrated when he was constantly meeting DDOS and finally had to choose Offstream.
Deft talks with Keria after being ddos: – Deft: Not fair – Keria: SHHH – Keria: Implementation Justice – Deft: Because he has to play with 2 members T1
Kiin, Jiwoo, Rascal also met DDOS when he ranked rank with Gumayusi
In fact, these incidents if heard through it seems funny but the harm is extremely. Because, the players do not value rank too much, but this is the environment they use to practice skills, new champions or “strange” upgrades. Not to mention, the players who probably do not want gamers to play with themselves. Therefore, this incident not only affects the training process but also makes the players awkward.
But no one is clear whether T1 is really “victim” of DDOS
It is not clear whether the T1 players are the main “victims” of the DDOS case taking place at Korean League of Legends. But if this problem is not treated thoroughly, maybe in the future, LCK will suffer more damage compared to the present.
