According to Ulrich Schulze, vice president of the company, DDoS attacks were made on individual players.
The delay of yesterday's final match at ESL Pro League Season 16 was caused by a targeted external attack on individual players. After we identified the problem, the match could resume. We've taken several steps to mitigate this for upcoming matches and have also passed on our findings to Valve .
Recall that on the third map of yesterday's match, NAVI players encountered several problems due to which they could not move and continue the round. As a result, the administrators unsuccessfully tried to fix the server, but the problem still returned.
