“It is with great frustration that we must announce the indefinite suspension of our player streams due to the ongoing DDos attacks,” T1 wrote in a statement on June 8.

The organization highlighted how Riot Korea, a branch of Riot Games responsible for the Korean League esports, and Riot Games were looking for a “long-term solution” to the issue, which would involve implementing more robust security measures and working with internet service providers to identify and block malicious traffic. However, they have so far been unable to resolve the issue, and multiple teams have experienced disruptions to their training schedules.

While a temporary fix by Riot Korea during MSI 2024 T1 helped prevent DDoS attacks, now the accounts of players playing alongside them are being attacked, further disrupting their live SoloQ sessions.
