On February 28, the LCK released the following statement, mentioning the issues that had been ongoing since the prior weekend’s matches:
“The LCK would like to extend our sincere apologies once again to our fans, team officials, and viewers who were inconvenienced due to the DDoS attack incident on February 25th.
“We acknowledge that our inadequate response caused significant disruption to the ticket holders of the second match.
