Esports tournament organiser StarLadder has issued an apology following several technical issues during the opening day of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.

The first Stage 1 matches suffered lengthy delays, causing matches to finish in the early hours of November 25th, 2025, in the UK.

Prior to the competition’s second day, the tournament organiser has apologised for the issues impacting streams, audio and stability. It also revealed that it is working to address the issues to ensure a smooth viewing experience for fans watching online.

Fans encountered echoed in-game audio in addition to the lack of commentators guiding viewers through the action.
