GCSE Computer Science, or just full idiot mode?
Well you can knock anything offline, you just need to hit it hard enough.

DezzTohka They spend millions on making sure they have "secure servers" and yet a few teenagers can keep them down.
Well i wouldn't say "a few teenagers" they are obviously very experienced.
Most definitely there's no kid that smart and if so I doubt he would be wasting his time hacking games

DDoS has nothing to do with security. Its flooding the servers with so much artificial bandwidth to the point of being non functional. Even with ddos mitigation its still possible to knock a server offline. Its all about having something to throw at it thats larger than what it can handle.
Long story short. You can have the most secure server in the world and it could still get knocked off
