It really fucking sucks for North American viewers plus Liquid, Dignitas, Beyond the Summit and Ayesee who all are pulling an all nighter since the G-1 is a Chinese ran tournament. It's almost 4AM and I don't feel like going to bed and I REALLY want to watch some Dota.
It sucks.
Postponing it was the only real option. They should probably not make this match publicly aware to avoid more targeted ddoses. Yeah, it'd suck for the viewers unless they recorded the match onto youtube later, but I think they're running out of options.
Little offtopic but is there any way to block DDoS attacks? I mean does it even exist?

There are ways and they were using some form of internet protection, they were talking about it on the livestream.
But whatever they had wasn't good enough.

The issue is in Skype, it uses Peer-to-Peer so their IPs are public for DDoS. They could use other programs, but tournament organisers, etc, contact teams using Skype a lot. Right now I think they are looking into VPNs for teams, which I think will prevent DDoS from effecting them.
