There are 3 stages to Diretide, each lasting 10 minutes.

Candy Chaos

 The Trickster Awakens

• All this ruckus has awoken Roshan from his slumber.
• He will target a random hero, alternating between teams, and bully them for candy.

Sugar Rush

• After 20 minutes Roshan will be stuffed and you will be left candyless.
• You must team up with the enemy and go after Roshan to reclaim your candy.
• Defeating Roshan will reward you with items and delicious candy.
