The GLL Masters Spring tournament has been postponed for a week as organizers are trying to resolve massive logging issues, which many players suspect are a result of DDoS attacks. <\/p>\n

GLL Masters Spring is hosted by GLL in collaboration with EA and it was supposed to be a sequel to the popular GLL Masters Summer from last year.<\/p>\n

This Apex Legends<\/a> event is an open tournament that boasts a hefty prize pool of 100,000 USD, and it is a perfect opportunity for the up-and-coming teams to show their skills and earn money.<\/p>\n

The event was supposed to start on 6th April with Stage1(Round of 320), but unfortunately, the first round has been delayed for three days in a row, until organizers eventually decided to cease the event as the login issues simply didn’t allow for the tournament to proceed.<\/p>\n

The message from the organizer (Picture: GLL)<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are again terribly sorry for the issues in the Apex. We are postponing the tournament until issue will be resolved with EA\/Respawn and fix to be applied,” the statement reads.<\/p>\n

And while the message implies that the problem is of internal nature, a problem with the game itself, a number of players believe that Apex Legends servers have been undergoing heavy DDoS attacks throughout the whole event in order to stop the tournament from happening.<\/p>\n

A player that goes by the name Tufi, who is a well-known cheater and notorious for his persistent hacking, has been sending private messages to players, asking them about the tournament.<\/p>\n

“Hey Shiv, what do you think about GLL’s attempt to host a tourney today,” Tufi messaged Luminosity’s ShivFPS while he was in a ranked game.<\/p>\n

While he didn’t admit anything, the community believe that he and his group are behind hacker attacks on Apex Legend serves, which are preventing competitive games to be played normally.<\/p>\n
