If you like the world of MOBAs, you probably know League of Legends and its competitive section, which is one of the most played in the industry. In addition, this title, beyond being one of the favorite installments for esports, is also the installment in which one of the most famous electronic athletes in the world of video games participates: we are talking about Faker, a player from the T1 team, who has been involved in several boycotts by fans, since They don’t let him train because of several cyber attacks he has sufferedwhich prevent you from finishing ranked games.
This has escalated to such a point that the head of League Studios, part of Riot Games in charge of deliveries such as TFT, Wild Rift and Legends of RuneterraAndrei “Meddler” van, has shared a statement regarding this situation, claiming that it is “a matter of top priority”. Therefore, they will address this issue closely so as not to affect the training of both Faker and T1.
“We have been working with T1 for months and have addressed a number of issues that had resulted in previous attacks on their headquarters. However, these recent incidents are different from previous attacks and as a result, the fixes we implemented do not address them. Since the latest attacks began, we have had a team investigate what is causing the issues and are in ongoing discussions with T1 on how to mitigate them. This is a top priority for us and will continue to be so as we look to resolve these weak spots in the region. We will continue to allocate all necessary resources to investigate the causes and find solutions.”
The Riot Games team in charge of this situation has already begun to take action on the matter, and is looking to find those responsible for this cyber attack on South Korean players. This not only frustrates their training, but it can also be reflected in their performance in future competitions, as well as compromise the image of League of Legendsmaking it unsafe for users.
On the other hand, T1 is one of the most popular teams in the famous MOBAso it is normal that the developer of League of Legends maintain a close relationship with them, in addition to providing support on security issues, making this a priority for Riot Games.
We remember that several of the most important finals in the competitive history of League of Legends have been with T1, in addition to Faker having become a legend of this video game and an important public figure for the MOBA community. And if that was not enough, This player has his own skin in LoLbeing one of the first to have his own appearance, which is available to the champion Ahri.
It is important that this is resolved as soon as possible, given that we are on the eve of regional competitions and tournaments that will determine the teams that will qualify for Worlds 2024, the most important world tournament League of Legends.
