@Wowhead One of the biggest streamer in KR announced 'WOW online competition.' upcoming Saturday. He also mentioned it is an AD event, which could possibly mean blizzard Korea is holding the event.

@Kalamazii Afflock rising again

Hellcaller Hero Talents are much more in-depth than Diabolist, but I think may be deceptively powerful. Baby Dark Soul is back with a 1m Cooldown

@Wowhead I don't like this AD. It keeps popping up even if I report it multiple times.

Even Starcraft 1 has LAN/UDP matching. It's 2024 and LOL doesn't have intranet mode. Astonishing.

LCK on DDoS situation - Can't find the culprit without contect - Bandwidth and capacity got increased to 1M but the pattern was different yesterday - Competition server is global so it can't be internal - Technical cooperation with global team needed sports.news.naver.com/news.nhn?oid=4…

Caster Jun on match delaying caused by DDoS "I've been casting gaming for 20 years but I don't think I've ever felt this helpless."

LCK's countermeasure against DDoS attack - Resume match - Win decision based on rules - Postpone match khgames.co.kr/news/articleVi…

LCK players are adding their coaches to their rosters because global competition requires mandatory 6 players and 2 coaches. T1 added roach, GenG added Mata as player, which makes Mata the oldest player ever to be on the LCK roster.

Jesse Lingard will visit LCK with FOX partnership sports.news.naver.com/news.nhn?oid=4…

Riot says they are getting very close to catching DDOS attacker gameple.co.kr/news/articleVi…

Currently KR streaming industry is plagues with designated DDOS attacks. Many streamers, regardless what they play, are being attacked and had to stop streaming for awhile.

Lovely team

3) Talking about league joining fee at this point looks really timid. If LCK can't sustain finiancial profitability, nobody will nor can pay the remaining joining fee.

2) Riot has deliberately decreased opportunity for fan activity for LCK this year. If Riot wants to advocated themselves by focusing on league income, they also have to talk about how LCK can earn more from ad, broadcasting and ticket.

My small thoughts on recent LCK finance debate 1) LCK sharing 50% of league income to teams looks fine in text but riot have to think about how LCK promoted League of Legends globally. Leaving that part out of the conversation is not going to solve anything.

LCK's response toward recent statement from LCK teams pgr21.com/free2/79019

So the statement says - Riot is not doing well to meet the business goals - Financial sustainability of LCK has been impossible for last 3 yrs - Riot did not let LCK teams from playing more games - Worst of all Riot threatened teams that are raising voices
