The match starts on 12/16/2025 at 1:55 PM local time for the scheduled Games of the Future broadcast; that corresponds to 1:55 PM UTC+0 if the organizer lists times in UTC, and 1:55 PM CET if the event is running on Central European Time—confirm the tournament’s listed timezone on match day to be certain.

The fixture is an online/tournament-stage match for Games of the Future rather than at a traditional stadium; Games of the Future events are typically hosted at a centralized esports arena or studio in Europe with high-tier production and capacity for a live audience of several hundred, plus full broadcast facilities and player booths suitable for Dota 2 LAN play.

Our prediction: Phoenix Gaming to win the series at implied odds ~1.72 because Phoenix have a stronger recent patch record on key heroes and a higher average net worth advantage in the last 10 games (+3.6k); recommended play: Phoenix ML or a modest value bet on Phoenix +1.5 maps at around 1.30 if you want insurance against a tight 2-1 result.
