T1 Still Faces Serious Issues from Previous Seasons
For a team like T1, the performance of the players or Faker’s age is not an issue. In reality, these factors can have an impact, but T1 will always find ways to overcome them. There is only one factor that continues to give them headaches, and to this day, T1 has yet to find a solution: the DDoS problem.
In fact, this issue not only affects T1 in League of Legends but also other teams sharing the same headquarters, notably T1 VALORANT. The gamers or players playing alongside T1 members also face issues. As for Riot, they have had to put a bounty of up to $100,000 for anyone who can find a solution to this problem on well-known cybersecurity forums around the world.
The problem only temporarily subsides during times when players rest or stream for fun. Recently, as the LCK Cup 2025 is about to begin, T1 players again have to face DDoS attacks. In a recent ranked match, Oner had to apologize and reassure his teammates because DDoS made it impossible for them to play.
Fans Demand T1 Withdraw from LCK Cup 2025
On various forums, many T1 fans have suggested CEO Joe Marsh withdraw the team from LCK Cup 2025, even though this will be the first tournament for the new T1 lineup to compete together and it starts in just a few days. “The DDoS issue has not been resolved. Joe (CEO Joe Marsh), you need to be firm in your decision and withdraw T1 from the LCK Cup,” one of the opinions that received significant agreement.
Currently, T1 has only announced the suspension of streaming sessions. Whether T1 will withdraw from the LCK Cup or not will have significant implications, and the team may need to carefully consider before making any decisions.
