DDOS Attack Temporarily Shuts Down International ‘DOTA 2’ Tournament

The International DOTA 2 tournament is underway, but a reported DDOS attack forced Valve to suspend the matches for several hours. The tournament has had several Internet-related problems since it began, but commentators confirmed that a DDOS attack was indeed to blame for today’s outage. It’s a funny thing that even an official Valve tournament, with all the top players in the world on the same stage, still needs to deal with all the same outage problems that average gamers have to deal with all the time. There is no LAN mode for DOTA 2.
