T1’s League of Legends staff has been suffering from DDoS assaults for a number of months, with the staff having to completely change the best way they apply and being compelled to cancel their streams. Now, T1 has gone so far as calling out Riot straight and demanding motion.
This announcement comes with the information that T1 is being compelled to cancel its League of Legends streams throughout the board. Faker began streaming for the primary time since getting back from MSI and was instantly hit with disconnects and connection points because of DDoS assaults.
“It’s with deep frustration that we should announce the indefinite suspension of our gamers’ streams as a result of ongoing DDoS assaults,” T1’s statement says.
“For almost six months, these assaults have persevered, and we hoped that Riot Korea and Riot Video games would devise a long-term answer to permit our gamers and different affected groups to renew regular coaching schedules. Regrettably, this has not but occurred.”
T1 did acknowledge Riot’s efforts to implement countermeasures for DDoS assaults at their HQ whereas the staff was overseas competing at MSI 2024, however that solely labored for his or her gamers taking part in from their HQ.

“The problem has shifted, with the accounts of gamers taking part in alongside our staff now being focused, disrupting our stay streamed SoloQ periods. This example forces us to pause our streams, leading to important monetary implications for our group.”
Contemplating how well-liked T1’s gamers are (and the way costly it’s to maintain them on the staff), not with the ability to put these gamers in entrance of the followers is irritating for the group.
Moreover, this makes it in order that gamers who’re simply attempting to apply in solo queue are affected only for being in matches with or towards T1 gamers.
“The first concern is for Riot Korea and Riot Video games to satisfy their tasks and cease these assaults. The problem is past the management of T1 or our possession group.”
T1 would go on to specify that the LCK isn’t chargeable for these issues and that the onus lies with Riot. Additionally they requested T1 followers to not take motion towards Riot because of the drama, claiming that they made the assertion purely as a technique to preserve followers knowledgeable of what’s taking place internally.
I requested Gumayusi about this exact same difficulty at MSI, and he was involved this could be a problem that will plague the staff as soon as T1 acquired again from China. He had this to say on the time:
“So far as I do know, the DDoS difficulty in Korea hasn’t been resolved but. We may be affected in each apply and streaming, and the DDoS points needs to be solved as quickly as doable.”
It’s necessary to remember that these points stem purely from a vulnerability within the South Korean league shopper and that different groups in different areas aren’t being affected.
Riot has been tight-lipped on the problem attributable to them not eager to tip off the assailants as to the countermeasures they’re taking towards them.
And, although the problem continues to be ongoing, it isn’t almost as dire as when the LCK needed to be postponed totally attributable to DDoS assaults stopping the common season from being playable.
