ESL has found out what made several players of Natus Vincere and Heroic lag during their round of 12 ESL Pro League season 16 match yesterday. The series was severely affected because of all the delays and finished way past midnight in Malta with NAVI beating Heroic 16-7 on Inferno, the map decider.
What the players and ESL faced was caused by a Steam exploit and not a technical issue related to ESL’s PCs. “The delay on yesterday’s final EPL match was caused by a targeted external attack against individual players,” ESL FACEIT Group’s senior vice president of game ecosystems Ulrich Schulze said. “After we identified the issue, the match could resume. We have taken several measures to mitigate this for upcoming matches, and have also relayed our findings to Valve.”
