Even Hackers Couldn't Crush Faker

Faker once said, "I think this guy is using third-party program, he will be good practice opponent"

Only retirement can force Faker out of the top of the league. Seriously, i think he's just waiting for some mid laner who can glue the T1 team together like he always does and he'll be able to retire and support the team backstage as its part-owner.

>DDOS on LCK games >DDOS on stream games >DDOS on scrims >forced to play on new low elo accounts >went 5 games Finals anyway my goats

U know ur a god at a game, when hackers can't stop you

Was this when they were forced to use new hidden accounts because their main is perma-DDOS'd?

these hackers petty af though.

That 100% winrate against lpl hurt them bad

for the record, i see some of the comments here and comparing t1's situation to gen g's is really not ok lol. you could kinda say that gen g were the 2nd most affected team by ddos solo queue wise in the lck, sure, but they still played a large majority of their games on their mains unscathed (they all played over 50 games to t1's only 4 games combined played in a span of 3 months pre-msi) and could scrim largely or completely normally through the entirety of this situation, while t1 have only managed to attempt a couple of games on their main accounts, had to switch multiple smurf accounts given by riot, but with bad mmr that didn't help them practice well for pro stage at all, and their whole building got shut down on many instances, affecting all of t1, t1 academy, t1 rookies and even the t1 valorant team who have nothing to do with lol. drx rascal has mentioned that when they got t1 members in a solo queue game or scrim, the entire drx building got shut down too. deft also told keria in chat that when he specifically got a t1 member or two in a solo queue game, he knew they wouldn't be able to play it. saying t1 got by far the most affected is not fan cope, it's the truth. they were the only team forced to stop streams entirely. gen g streamed the entire time. it's not a good comparison. when faker had to say that t1 couldn't practice like the other teams, you know he meant it.

Its not LCK vs LPL, its T1 vs LPL, and they Hate. THOSE. DDOS!

Chinese "If we can't win by skill lets DDOS them" T1 Guma "T1 doesn't lose to Chinese"

As a LCK watcher, I agree that hackers couldn't crush Faker, but they could threat the future of League of Legends. Professional players such as Faker, their practice may be able to be protected. But what about other 'ordinary' players? Non professional high class rankers like streamers who can become sparring partners of pro players in their solo rank, rookies who need practice or chance to prove their competentness will face problems and eventually become reluctant to play solo ranks, which will undermine the quality of solo rank and passion of youngsters who will lead the future of the scene

It wasnt only DDOS attacks on the streamers but also on players. During High-school LOL Games, in the quarter finals I was in. We lost but only because our support and adc, with our mid lane had a sudden spike on ping, ranging from 400-199999 ping. This was on Ethernet connection and my ping stayed the same with only 20/ms on the teams computer. But ultimately the last 3 months Ive had this issue at home play on my main. Just a Master 4, my ping in game would be 40/ms to 6999/ms. I have some screenshots of the ping going that crazy high.

As someone who only watches LCK games, I was curious about this DDoS incident, so I looked into it myself and the following is what I found out.

I find it interesting that riot a billon dollar company has no counter measures to this similar to cloudflare i mean they should know all the data streams that occur on the networks for the game and twitch stream and just be able to drop other unneeded packets from game server to isolate the game from these attcks given that can still overload the server but this would be a start

I really hate hackers trying to destroy Faker's career. This time, they will be punished !

Why can't Riot just move their League tournaments to LAN? It's honestly just dumb how a multi million dollar game company holds tournaments online when they literally have Valorant in LAN.

there is many discussion of which team is the best, the goat. But you can't argue with there is only 1 player who have been called the goat in league, that man is Faker! A name that even people who don't play league know, legend never dies, faker never dies.

After all this, his hand injury, and the fact that they just released a 500 dollar skin, this may be the last year with Faker

This is what pissed me off about the lck play offs and msi. They were not prepared

Prob some chinese spamming ddos on T1 cuz T1 dismantle the whole LPL last year XD
