The replay of the first map Quest Esports vs Gaimin Gladiators at Bali Major 2023 turned out to be the largest in the history of Dota 2 in terms of space occupied. This information was shared by Ben «Noxville» Steenhuisen on his Twitter.
The replay of the first map takes 565 MB, which is much more than the record of the longest match in the history of Dota 2 - C9 against Scaryfacez. The reason for this is that more information is stored in the new Source 2 engine.
Noxville:
Turns out it (Gaimin/Quest) was the biggest replay in pro match history, even bigger than the epic C9/Scaryfacez game.
Why?
- More audio data (more channels)
- Different engines: Source 2, not source 1
- More being stored in the demo

The first map of Gaimin Gladiators against Quest Esports became the 3rd longest in the history of Dota 2.
