Cloud 9 and SFZ: the longest game in competitive Dota 2 history

Dota 2 history was made in a Stage 1 Star Ladder Star Series game between Cloud 9 and ScaryFaceZ as the two teams faced off in what has become the longest played game in competitive Dota 2.

The previous Dota 2 record holder belongs to a game between 4 Friends + Chrillee and Team Dog during the FragBite Masters 2014, which lasted 2:05:26.

The game between C9 and SFZ shattered the previous record, as it officially ended after 3:20:34.

Countless other records were broken because of the game’s length as nine of the 10 heroes that were selected had new last hit records by the game’s end.

Last hit records	New	Old
Disruptor	427	188
Sniper	1563	834
Earthshaker	562	330
Zeus	1019	430
Bristleback	1756	514
Clockwerk	508	365
Puck	1145	737
Rubick	597	267
Chen	578	265

The only last hit record for a hero that was not broken was for Anti-Mage. Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao only managed to get 1070 last hits, while the record for the hero is an absurd 2000 last hits achieved by Ilya “Illidan” Pivcaev. QwisTa’s Bristleback came close, and is in second place for last hits with 1756.
