DDoS attacks postpones EPS final

DDoS attacks against fnatic members have postponed the ESL Pro Series Nordic season two Grand Final between mTw and fnatic.

The Grand Final between fnatic and mTw in the second ESL Pro Series Nordic started Monday evening at 21:00CET, but should be postponed due to DDoS attacks. First map de_nuke saw mTw starting on the CT side, managing 11-4 at half time. With the Swedes now playing the CT side, mTw got dominated and had trouble winning the clutch situations. Eventually the Danes found their way to secure five rounds to win 16-13 overall, with Patrik "cArn" Sättermon unable to do anything in the last round, due to DDoS attacks.

Second map de_dust2 had just started when the fnatic captain was once again a victim of DDoS attacks, which put the match on pause. Once Sättermon had managed to change his IP and the match was resumed, the attacks continued, only this time against Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund. The match got un-paused and paused several times until the admins decided to call it off and postponed the match, at this time mTw had a 6-1 lead as Terrorists.

"Map 2 and 3 will be played at a yet undetermined time, it is deeply shameful that people actually want to destroy esport like this, but we just have to keep working on solutions so that the issue can be solved." – Said Gustav "flabbert" Karto, Head of ESL Nordic.

It is at this state unclear whether second map will be restarted or resumed from a certain score. fnatic are tomorrow off to Seoul, where they will participate at e-Stars Seoul, which means it won’t be in the nearest future we can expect the continuation of the match.

It has been a sad trend through the entire season, that players during matches are suffering from these attacks, forcing matches to be postponed or teams to use a stand-in. It is not only frustrating for the teams and players, but most certainly also for the spectators, organizers and media.
