The government is using the top 100 IP traffic ranking data. That's why servers that related directly to DOTA and CSGO are singled out.

I'm not sure that's it. Both games are hosted on Valve's servers, as is the Steam storefront and client; there isn't any obvious way that Kominfo could distinguish between the three.
If they are basing their blocks on IP flow data, though, I wonder if their block on "Amazon" is actually going to hit AWS. That'd certainly be interesting to see.
