After winning game one, Dignitas looks to close out the series with a comfortable 2:0 against QPad Red Pandas, but Ioannis 'Fogged' Loucas had high pings at the start of the game but managed to power through it after the pings stabilized over time. However, the ping spiked up again, up to a point that Fogged was unable to continue playing. John 'Solace' Fabbro was brought in to fill in Fogged's spot on the team in the meantime. The attacks did not end there as Dignitas's Kurtis 'Aui_2000' Ling started experiencing high pings as well and soon disconnected from the game. Alaan 'SexyBamboe' Faraj was going to be brought in as a sand in for Aui_2000 in a remake, but the G-1 League officials decided to postpone the game and all remaining qualifier games will be postponed indefinitely until further notice.
Update
The following statement was just recently made by G-1 League:
What next? We've shared a guide with all the teams in the G-1 Western Qualifiers yesterday on steps to take to prevent DDoS attacks. Additionally, communications are established with Valve, reporting what has happened in the past few days of G-1 Champions League, along with related details regarding what we know about the as-yet unidentified DDoS attacker(s).
We are truly sorry about this decision for all of our fans and viewers at G-1, especially those that support G-1 by purchasing in-game tickets via the Steam store. We promise that the G-1 team will do our best to address the matter, and take any and all actions needed to ensure that G-1 Champions League Season 5 is back as soon as possible. We remain optimistic, and hope to see you all again soon!
