Game 1 Expected to Finish in Dota 2 Daytime Phase

Game 1 is shaping up to end during the daytime phase of Dota 2’s in-game clock, with the decisive Ancient destruction or potential forfeit expected to fall within one of the game’s five-minute daylight windows.

Dota 2’s base day-night cycle alternates every five minutes, with daytime periods occurring from 0:00 to 5:00, 10:00 to 15:00, 20:00 to 25:00, and continuing in that pattern. Temporary hero-driven effects, such as Night Stalker’s Dark Ascension, are not expected to affect the official timing determination.

Final confirmation will depend on the recorded match data, with Dotabuff expected to serve as the primary source once Game 1 concludes. If the match is remade, the timing of the remade game will determine the result.
