While the exact issues affecting the teams was not disclosed, SuperMassive Blaze coach Tanishq "Tanizhq" Sabharwal stated on social media that the event's server infrastructure was likely to blame, citing routing to the Frankfurt servers from Turkey being the culprit of the technical issues. In another tweet, Tanizhq claimed routing to other servers was also affected, making nearly all European servers unplayable for the Turkish sides.
