Doesn't have to be skype, though. if you really want to know the IP range of a LAN party, you will get it. there are just too many people connecting to a lot of predictabe things, or you can just go there and C4 yourself.

Up to 77 now. It's working.

The biggest question on my mind is whether NorthCon or HotSix Cup will conclude first.

pretty bad idea to acknowledge the little kid is delaying the tournament. Would get bored if they would make things up. The good thing is bed time for the kid seems to be at in 1 hour 20 mins :p

I think they somehow targeted elfis connection, as only he had lag issues, switiching the connection wouldn't help, i guess.

For example in Finland in Assembly we had 10gbit connection + 1gbit reserve connection, connected to Cisco 6509 which we connected to a few Cisco 4948-10G, getting over 4000 ports in total. There we had a few DDOS attacks which we solved without a problem.

I think the TL store sells some.

You couldn't stream LAN matches anyway. seems weird to me the stream has been working perfectly the whole weekend, and including now when the "ddos" occurs. Ok they might have a seperate internet connection for the stream, but how come they didn't connect tournament pcs to that connection then when they had all the other issues? Most likely to avoid IP blacklisting by Blizzard.

Well this is definitly no Dreamhack. Internet here is kinda wanky. It routes through norway, if you connect to steam or gmail from the venue it detects a "suspicious login from norway" lol :D

The issue here seems to be that the connection they use for connecting to BNet has had its IP leaked. I would guess that during the first day with community casters and all kinds of people connecting to game lobbies the IP was obtained, or maybe someone logged into a Skype account that wasn't set up for privacy, or visited a link provided by an attacker.
EDIT: And of course any tournament of this size really should have considered proper DDoS mitigation as someone pointed out earlier.
