Marathon games belong mostly to an earlier Dota 2. Nine of the twelve longest maps in this table were played between 2014 and 2018; only three come from the last seven years — in 2022, at the Bali Major in 2023, and in a European league match in April 2025. Ten of the twelve went past the two-hour mark.

Big stages produced their share. Three of the twelve were played at Majors — Winter 2016, Kuala Lumpur 2018 and Bali 2023 — and two at events of The International 2017, both involving Team Empire, which makes it the only club to appear twice in the table.

Teams, players, tournaments and organizations, by name. Wrong keyboard layout, a digit for a letter, a typo? It still finds it.
