This market is about whether Game 1 ends during the daytime phase of the Dota 2 day/night cycle. In Dota 2, the day/night cycle alternates every 5 minutes (daytime runs from 0:00–5:00, 10:00–15:00, 20:00–25:00, and so on, while nighttime runs from 5:00–10:00, 15:00–20:00, 25:00–30:00, and so on). This market will resolve to "Yes" if the game-ending action (Ancient destruction or midgame forfeit) occurs during a daytime phase of the base in-game clock. This market will resolve to "No" if the game ends during a nighttime phase. Temporary nighttime effects caused by hero abilities (e.g., Night Stalker's Dark Ascension) do not affect resolution, only the base day/night cycle timer is considered. If the match is canceled (not played at all) or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date, this market will resolve to 50-50. If Game 1 is never played due to forfeit, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to 50-50. If Game 1 is not played because the series result has already been determined (e.g., a team clinches the series before Game 1 is needed), this market will resolve to 50-50. If Game 1 is remade, resolution will be based on the remade game. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://www.dotabuff.com. However, if https://www.dotabuff.com has not published final results within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.

The market reflects a low probability (10%) that Game 1 of a Dota 2 match will conclude during a daytime phase of the in-game cycle. The resolution hinges on the precise timing of the game-ending action relative to the base day/night cycle.
The bull case assumes early game dominance by one team, leading to a swift victory (e.g., a 15-20 minute game) that aligns with a daytime phase (0:00–5:00, 10:00–15:00, etc.). Aggressive playstyles or meta strategies favoring quick wins could increase this probability.
The bear case argues that longer games are more likely, increasing the chance of resolution during a nighttime phase (5:00–10:00, 15:00–20:00, etc.). Teams with strong late-game scaling or macro-oriented playstyles may prolong the match beyond daytime windows.
