LCK RECORDED BROADCAST, BROADCAST AT '9pm ON WEEKDAYS, 7pm ON HOLIDAYS'

LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), which operates the domestic League of Legends professional league, announced on the 1st the rules for privately recorded broadcast broadcasts in response to DDoS (distributed denial-of-service attacks) incidents.

According to the LCK, recorded broadcasts will, in principle, be broadcast at ‘9 PM on weekdays and 7 PM on holidays’.

After switching to recorded broadcasting, the inconvenience caused by irregular broadcasting times is expected to be somewhat alleviated.

However, as the LCK added, “Please understand that the transmission time may be delayed depending on the game progress,” there may be cases where this time is not observed. 카지노사이트

The LCK is experiencing great difficulties in conducting the tournament due to the DDoS cyber attack that began on the 25th of last month.

On the 25th, the game between DRX and Dplus Kia was paused eight times due to a network error, and it took a whopping seven hours for the game to end.

As a result, the next game between OK Savings Bank Brion and Guangdong Freecs was broadcast privately on the next day, the 26th.

LCK announced on the 26th that the cause of the incident was a DDoS attack.

Two days later, on the 28th, another DDoS attack occurred during the match between T1 and PeerX.

As a result, the first set of the match between T1 and PeerX was delayed.

In the end, the first set was completed after many twists and turns, but the second set was converted to a privately recorded broadcast.

Due to repeated DDoS attacks, the LCK announced that the remaining games would be recorded and broadcast without spectators.

However, fans' dissatisfaction grew as they could not tell when the recording broadcast would start.

This is because the games that were previously played at 5 PM and 7:30 PM on weekdays were not broadcast at those times.

To prevent this kind of confusion, the LCK came up with the basic rule of 9 PM on weekdays and 7 PM on holidays.

Meanwhile, fans are paying attention to when the LCK will come up with a solution to the prolonged DDoS situation.

This is because the 2024 LCK Spring Split has already reached its halfway point, so there is not much time left until the playoffs that will determine the winning team.

As the second round game, which reveals the outline of the teams advancing to the playoffs, is played without spectators, fans are saying, “The tension is low.”

There are also concerns that the game results may be leaked in advance.

In fact, even before the match between Def Kia and OK Brion, which took place on the 29th, was broadcast, various communities were flooded with posts saying, “Which team won the first set?”

Regardless of whether it is actually leaked or not, it is pointed out that this phenomenon reduces immersion in the game.
