What's new

Mortal Kombat X LIVES - 32 player invitational tournament, Monday, May 24th at 12pm PT Twitch Rivals !

Only was able to catch the last match, then they said they had to postpone. Sucks about the doxing thing. Hope no one was actually affected and it can resume soon.

has this happened? If so where are the vods?
You saw the whole thing about the DDOS and Doxing? Pretty wild. The event was supposed to be a single day but it got interrupted just prior to top 8. Hasn’t been rescheduled yet I don’t think.

damn shame...had like 25k viewers and was really fun.

It sounded like this sort of thing has been largely possible because of fighting games use peer to peer and you kind of need to know the other person's IP to play. That someone was able to go the extra mile to get someone's physical address info is a big deal. I assume that means full access to some personal devices on the attacked network and someone's pizza delivery address isn't the only concern.

I'd like to know more about how it works (without having to act like I'm trying to do the thing) to get a better sense of what that means. Right now, most people are like sad face over just the event, but I have to wonder if the larger implications is companies being forced to take away p2p connections for untrusted matches. Like maybe you could p2p your friends list but have to actually end up using a proxy gateway for things like ranked and other public matchmaking. That would be a mega big deal for everyone.

If someone understands it better and can explain why that's an invalid concern, I'm listening.

The Top 8 has not happened, nor has the reschedule date been announced yet, to my knowledge.

yeah I heard... but if only the top 8 wasn't streamed.. where are the vods for all the rest of it?
