The document discusses the growing issue of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks affecting online esports. It notes that DDoS attacks aim to overload servers and make online services unavailable, which can disrupt important esports tournaments. While some basic prevention steps can help individual players, large esports events often require working with security specialists and dedicated anti-DDoS protection services to mitigate attacks. Proper anti-DDoS solutions need to filter malicious traffic while minimizing latency and reliably supporting the high-bandwidth and low-latency needs of competitive online gaming. Without adequate protection, DDoS attacks can negatively impact player experiences and hurt the esports industry.
