The bug<\/strong> was brought<\/strong> to public attention<\/strong> through a video<\/strong> posted by Shondex<\/strong> on X<\/strong> (formerly Twitter).<\/strong> In the clip, a member of the Blue Otter<\/strong> team disconnects<\/strong> during an official match.<\/strong> While disconnections are a common issue, what followed was far more concerning.<\/p>\n
