persistent ping issues caused by DDoS attacks targeting the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/league-of-legends\/\" title=\"League of Legends betting guide\">League of Legends<\/a> servers in Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Despite efforts to stabilize the network, the second game was postponed, leaving fans surprised and unprepared for the late-night broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>This marked a departure from the usual live gaming experience.<\/p>\n<p>Following the match&#8217;s conclusion, the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/league-of-legends\/lck\/\" title=\"LCK betting guide\">LCK<\/a> announced a shift to pre-recorded matches for the remainder of the week to mitigate further disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>These DDoS attacks have plagued the Korean gaming community for weeks, impacting solo queue play and professional matches alike.<\/p>\n<p>The incident on February 25, resulting in a seven-hour game between Dplus and DRX, underscored the severity of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Initially attributed to networking problems, the LCK publicly apologized for the disruption caused by the DDoS attack and acknowledged the inconvenience to fans and players alike.<\/p>\n<blockquote

formulated response measures during the league&#8217;s rest days.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these efforts, DDoS attacks persisted, leading to further disruptions, including the interruption of the T1 versus FearX match.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, matches were pre-recorded for the remainder of Week 6, with refunds issued to ticket holders.<\/p>\n<p>The LCK has implemented new response protocols and assured fans of ongoing efforts to deter future attacks.<\/p>\n<p>However, the persistent disruptions highlight the challenges faced by esports leagues in maintaining a stable gaming environment.<\/p>\n<p>Effective measures must be taken to safeguard against future attacks and ensure the integrity of competitive play.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\"
