Folks, this is the big one. We’ve looked at all kinds of different plays in this series, but we’ve never looked at them together.
That’s right, this week, we’re bringing you the list we somehow had never done until now.
Here are the Top 10 Esports Plays of all Time.

Ryu: ah shit, here we go again
Exactly what I was thinking
Poor guy
There's a term for when a basketball player ends up on a poster for another player, usually getting dunked on or being ankle broken, Posterized. It can also be used when a sweet play is made, basically saying the guys gonna end up on someone elses poster looking the fool. What happened to Ryu is the esports equivalent of getting posterized.
I was about to say it was actually Ken but then I realised you mean the Zed 1v1 xD
JWong: I feel your pain
I feel like theScore esports has uploaded this video four or five times.
Literally beat me to it
Count Jinsula they have done some that are specific, like for a specific year, event, or game.
Pretty much lol
Dude I've seen the simple one alone at least a dozen times from them...
Took the words right out of my mouth
I'm glad 37 got the top spot. Its honestly the most insane thing captured on tape in competitive gaming. Truly a once in a lifetime play
It also had the biggest impact. Many people, like me, started playing fighting games because of it
@@seb_thoms I always played fighting games growing up still to this day that moment opened my eyes to the fgc and made me want to pull off crazy shit on ppl
It isn't like, ridiculously ridiculous. It was however, unbelievably clutch and 100% necessary in order to not lose the match. I think it's like a 7th of a second's time to input the parry each time. Not impossibly hard, but certainly takes foresight, practise, and knowledge of the matchup.
Chills and almost tears everytime from greatness.
@@sareaper69 the combo he hit after was crazy to
Anything that isnt evo 37: "Why do i hear boss music?"
:D damn right
I legit watched until Nr. 2 and was like "The Streetfighter block must be #1 or they have no clue"
@@shawtys9525 i thought the same jajaja
Do the top 10 esports throws
+1

Haven’t they done that?
So...
G2’s Break for Worlds in 2017 I think
C9 during 2020 LCS Summer in Losers bracket vs TSM
And what else?
Let's be honest....That Daigo moment will more than likely never be topped.
It's really really hype and amazing
it physically can't be because skill expression of that level has been removed from modern games.Yes there's still a gap between casuals and top players but not to the level of that move.
@@obim4108 I highly disagree. The main reason Evo #37 will never be topped is because it took place in a time where "esports" was new so everyone knows about it. There's some plays I've seen that I'd argue take just as much skill, but aren't near the amount of praise and hype this moment has seen.
@@MK-bi1hj The clutch CSGO 1v5 moments are insane.
@@obim4108 Have you ever watched rocket league? A professional can literally win singlehandedly vs 7 amateurs because the skill gap is that huge. The skill gap between top rank and pro is also huge
Came to see the annual Olof boost
Well yes but actually no
Annual? You mean Weekly
Weekly? You mean Daily
Daily? You mean hourly
Hourly? You mean minutely
Daigo also did it blind, in practice mode you get sound queues like in the game but the crowd was too loud for him to hear the sound queues. So he did it on pure Intstinct. That’s why we call Daigo Umehara the Beast......
He unlocked ultra instinct
Evo moment #37 truly is one of the greatest esports moments. Most people don't even understand how truly deep that play goes and can still tell just from the energy of it that it was momentous. Outplays and big plays are cool, but I don't think any other moment on this list converted people the same way #37 did.
it was so big it was all over the net before TH-cam existed
Ryu: Here we go again
Justin Wong: I feel you bro
Watching Evo Moment #37 for the millionth time: goosebumps all over. If this isn't poetry, nothing is.
Ultra Instinct right there
Justin's Goal is the only Esports clip I've seen that gives me chills anytime I see it.
Let's go justin
Yes they didn’t even mention that it was game 7 of the world championships like it literally doesn’t get any better than that
@@mythrindiir1463 but went on to lose in OT...
@@oFiiREo wasn’t Justin’s fault and the shot was still absolutely goated
@@oFiiREo bad rotations from NRG made them lose
Evo moment 37 is so insane. I know fighting games don't get a whole lot of love in eSports but that play just dispels the biggest arguments people make about fighting games and that all you do is "just push buttons." For those that are unaware, parrying in 3rd Strike had to be frame perfect. He was frame perfect, 3 times in a row and then had the most optimal punish to win the round. Insanity
People who say its just button mashing are scrubs. An amateur would 10:0 them with ease
Exactly. After an impossible, unthinkable parry, he was able to keep his cool & deliver a perfect, furious counter attack… deadly cold blooded assassin…
"This is rocket league!" still gives me chills no matter how often I see it.
is it even a score esports video without mentioning “faker vs ryu” ?
Yeah and even it was not included on the list he still mentioned the csgo play, olof boost was it?
Faker vs ryu and olof boost is literally in every video made by them lmao
Can you do a list like this without including that play tough?
Yeah, it is overused, but it HAD to be in this list
if the clip was burned into a disk, The disk has so many scratches by now. lol
Ryu: Goddamn it, I'm trying to sleep!
Evo moment 37 had such an impact that Justin Wong has said that if he knew Daigo was going to parry, he'd still gladly take the L.
For the people lol
Justin ended up winning that set overall though, which is the funniest part for me
@@demiurge2501 and no one remembered about the winner but instead everyone remembered this very exact moment.
@@demiurge2501 I would trade the win against this action anytime, doing this blindly, spontaneous with a huge crowd just shows what skill someone has and Daigo won most matches that they played against each other so this was way more impressive
@@demiurge2501 lol why are you spreading lies, Daigo only lost in the grand finals so shut the f up.
jstn's 0 second goal gives me chills everytime I see it lmao
In Korea there's a saying like "Every 3 seconds Ryu dies somewhere"
And thescoreesports is responsible for that lmao
Let's go Justin!
Let the time run-out!!
*_up until this very moment, we have yet to see the last auto attack on that Xpeke Kassadin backdoor._*
Almost a decade now bruh
But why is that so?????
@@blackheart2003 There was a 3-5 seconds delay for in-game spectator in official broadcasts back in the day as it was made by literally hacks (it was 11th player in the match with "Disable fog of war" summoner ability).
I've always wondered that, as a 2010 League player who has seen the clip countless times. That last auto is like a ghost in the wind
Wow, I cant believe this is the first time seeing the No. 1 clip. In my honest opinion, i thought "The Play" would be number 1 cause I saw it live, but seeing the number 1 clip, i have never been so wrong my entire life. Like it literally lit up a burning passion somewhere inside me.
Coldzera's plays against simple 4k awp was much more important and difficult than the simples one.
This.
There’s a reason he’s called “The Beast” Daigos play will never be topped 💪
My voice is gone
But my spirit is high
We have overtime!
Goosebumps
ngl, that event was incredibly hype. i can say that bc i was there lol
@@nebulaxox8845 I wish I was
*20 seconds later* TURBOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@Celtic-ej9yn yeah if that didn't happen, and NRG actually won, jstn's goal goes up like 3 spots
Ryu - the only "second place" who was remembered by the history.
That's actually YellOw from starcraft ever league 2004 in Korea. Not many people remember ryu as 2nd but YellOw
Also NRG scoring the zero second goal ended up being second place as well and it’s on the list also.
Daigo has won many tournaments. He lost this tourney but at the end of the day, he's a dude that's won a shit ton and did this. A legend.

Olofboost
OOOOOHHHH YEAH !
I have zero clue what any of the league of legends players did lol
I bet most people who play league to this day still have no clue what Faker did to beat Ryu in the 1v1 :P
Honestly this is me but with Dota 2, i finally understand what non league players feel when they see league highlights.
Okay xpeke played a champ called kassadin. His ult is to warp a cetain distance. each use costs the amount x twice (100, 200, 400, 800...).
He backdoored into the base from sk gaming to destroy the nexus (your nexus dead=you lost, enemy nexus dead= win).
In that base was a champ called olaf. he can swing axes and each hit does take a lot of dmg and slows the enemy. So he dodged them (because they're skillshots) and was able to hit 5000hp to 0 with his auto attacks while dodging all skillshots and not dying.
@@kaiwen Honestly, I think it's better if you explained Faker vs Ryu than xPeke, because quite frankly, many people that see the play, especially outside League, have 0 idea what actually happened. With the xPeke you can at least conclude that xPeke who was the purple dude managed to kill the big crystal to win the game. In Ryu vs Faker, most people, some even that played LoL, don't understand what made that play good, this goes doubly for those that don't understand Zed's mechanics and the limitations present when using him, or how his Death Mark debuff works and just how tight a rope Faker was on during that play.
@@aveshlutchman8573 the score did already a video of explaining faker vs ryu outplay. i can do it sure, but it would take a lot of time to do so :x
EVO Moment #37 is the ultimate 'outplay'. Pure skills.
I feel like people need to know how fighting games work in order to understand how iconic the Diago parry was. I get goosebumps everytime i watch that play.
yup. wish they set up that if he blocked, he was dead. that he had to tap forward into the attack pixel perfect each time. and he did all that and did a combo into super to win.
i don’t play many mobas so a lot of these plays...they’re lost on me.
I agree, but I feel like even a little bit of context is enough for people to get the significance of that play. Knowing that parries are frame specific and that they were the only way to stay alive and that a combo that would kill was really necessary to win is enough to see how great this was, but again, one may need to play the game to really get it. I have played games similar to the ones that were mentioned here so I actually get the significance of a lot of them, so I agree that knowing the game is important to understand the hype plays
Number 5 is even more impressive when you realize that, up until that point, NOBODY knew how to counter the Naga Dark Seer Tidehunter strat, and giving those heroes away was seen as a death sentence to whatever team was playing against them. But Na'Vi not only countered it, they won the teamfight without losing any heroes. Been a long time Na'Vi fan ever since that play.
Evo moment 37 is a shit load more impressive when you realize that nobody thought that can be done, it was early esports and it changed gaming history.
Ryu: I can feel a disturbance in the force. Somebody's playing that clip again...
Evo moment 37 makes me get goosebumps every time I watch it. What a legendary moment for all gamers.
wow they actually gave #37 the top spot I was getting scared when i got to #2 and it wasn't there lol finally some well deserved recognition good stuff
The evo 37 moment was so epic that even non SF players know it.
Thank you for putting the correct choice as #1. The FGC has immortalized many iconic moments that have affected the whole competitive gaming scene, not just exclusively fighting games.
THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE! This clip gets better and better with context. It was the final game of the RLCS grand finals. If NRG won, it was a bracket reset, if they lost, the opposition would win. And the entirety of the LAN the crowd would start "oooooo" louder and louder until the ball would hit the ground after 0 seconds for every match. Thank you for including this clip. Goosebumps
Nothing beats “This is rocket league” to me. The Crowd, the circumstances, last game, last series, Overtime, the crazy outer worldly skill of rocket league pros…. It’s truly the greatest
Score eSports: Guys, don't forget about the Olof-Boost!
Thanks for the Rocket league!
Have you guys ever thought of doing any Smite content? I know it isn't as popular as League, but we've definitely had a few really interesting moments that could be talked about; EnvyUs vs SoaR match resulting in Envy getting crushed so hard they surrendered after just under 3 minutes, Incon being kicked from his pro team before making his own pro team and inviting his best friend who then got him kicked from THAT team too, Deathwalker making Ares solo lane a thing that inspired tanky supports to go solo lane for years, or even go into the shady stuff to do with DMBrandon, although he may be a bit of a bleaker choice.
Consider it if you can! It would be amazing to let others find out about our pro scene and the stories we've had!
An adapting montage is enough to hook in non smite folk😂
I still get chills watching the top two y’all had. I 100% agree with this list
I swear I’ve seen the rl clip like a million times and every time I get chills
Was really afraid the EVO clip of Daigo wasn’t going to be on here. I think there could have been a few more melee moments and you really need to add the Coldzera awp defense vs team Liquid, but not a bad list.
THAT slomo from Knee vs Rickstah at Combo Breaker deserves more consideration
That was a misinput by Riskstah... He wanted dp
@@LLuJrSSF4 your point is?
Evo 37 as #1 for sure. So sick given that era
Finally giving evo moment 37 the recognition it deserves.
I get goosebumps everytime I see Jstin's play and I hear the crowd go wild
It was Daigo's.
I never heard of this moment before today and i cannot stop watching it!! So beautiful
I still have tears of joy when watching Moment #37. I don't even play SF. I'm a Tekken, BR, Moba, and Singleplayer gamer. I guess that shows that being a gamer is universal as long as you have the passion for it.
Evo moment #37 was by far the best moment in gaming history!
I could watch that daigo clip all day. That was disgustingly insane! 😂❤
You know, you guys should really do a top plays of all time video, I think the community really needs something like that
The person responsible for recording that Evo Moment 37 has a special place amongst the Gods for helping spread that iconic moment in WORLD HISTORY
Rewatching xPeke's backdoor a thousand times never fails to make me cry. T.T
Good call on Daigo being no. 1. IMO there's no question.

Top 10 e sport plays that will forever be immortalized in history.
There's a reason why Daigo is THE BEAST. Evo Moment #37 is simply timeless.
Can’t wait to see ryu again.
i really like these videos!
The bunker rush was really not new at all at the time. The move is remembered for Boxer's gall of pulling this risky strategy 3 times in a row, which is extremely ballsy and never seen in such high levels. It showed a level of disrespect that burned Yellow forever. Well at least until he became just so much better than Boxer later on, when they both were not at the top any more.
Although he didn't win the match, the semi-finals of the 2015 Hearthstone World Championship had Ostkaka and Thijs in Game 4. In the Freeze Mage mirror, Ostkaka dealt one damage to himself to prevent him from losing on that turn.
Moment 37 is special cuz chuns super comes out in 1 frame so to parry it you have to input parry before the super flash, this is never mentioned. If daigo waited until Justin supered him he wouldn't have been able to parry the first hit, he predicted it. That's why Justin supered because it's impossible to react to, you have to predict it.
I was scared again we didnt receive any FGC esport moment, well we got one
Smash doesn't count?
@@phuuc8075 No, it's a party game
@@thenortonanti well, technically people call it a "Brawler" like Brawlhalla and Rules of Aether
Never Ever Smash has been on Evo main stage multiple times, it’s a fighting game
Gotta love the eternal debate about whether Smash belongs in the FGC or not
Since you ask for other plays that could have been included, I think as a huge League fan that the most impressive LoL play ever was the 2017 worlds group phase match between EDG and SKT and the miracle teamfight combo from SKT (while being around 10K gold behind). I think it's way more impressive than a Zed 1v1 with a QSS advantage when Zed's ult could be avoided thanks to this item, even tho I understand that the zed 1v1 play is more famous to people that don't watch LoL esports.
Happy to see that you guys are getting sponsored now! Or i just didn't see any... BTW keep making great content!
the evo clip tho, i dont think i can think of any tournament where someone pulled off this level of impossible
Evo moment #37 will forever be godlike
I think the Shroud boost on Cache or Skadoodle’s clutch to make the Cloud9 Comeback at the 2018 Boston Major deserves a spot
Tsm beaulo ace onto ssg, on the major r6.
This is Rocket League STILL gives me chills every time I watch that clip
That Daigo moment is straight from an anime, it makes me cry it's so good
the diago parry made me start competing in fighting games lol love it!
This was definitely filmed before miracle and team Nigma 43hp throne comeback vs alliance
Cuz I have no doubt that was the greatest esports moment of all time
That was some real bullshit lol, fricking arc warden
Nothing will ever top EVO Moment 37
I've seen these hundreds of times.
Evo 37 is still great though.
When I was a kid, my dad always made sure that we were done with dinner by 5:50 on wednesday nights so he could watch the weekly sports highlights reel on nbc. I feel like our generation needs a weekly esports highlight reel like this video. It would help me feel a little more in touch with the wider gaming world. Rather than just few niches I'm into.
I absolutely LOVED Atlanta Reign vs Paris Eternal in Season 2 Stage 1 of Overwatch League on the map Hollywood. The slam dunk was amazing.
"rare footage daigo actually angry" is another way to sa "why do I hear boss music"
I’m not sure people understand the context of that rocket league goal.
The 2 teams playing are Dignitas and NRG and this was in the grand final.
Dignitas came from the losers bracket final to face NRG in the final after falling to nrg in the winners semi-final.
Dignitas had to beat NRG in 2 best of 7s to be crowned champions.
They won’t the first best of 7 comfortably 4-1 resetting the bracket.
This now meant that whichever team won this 2nd best of 7 took home the championship.
It came down to the final game with 3 games each meaning the team that won this final game wins the whole event.
With 4 seconds left on the clock Turbopolsa scores to make it 3-2 to dignitas. In rocket league scoring with 4 seconds left basically means you’ve won the game unless a miracle happens, and well. That’s exactly what did happen.
NRG kept the ball in the air on 0 seconds until the ball popped out above the Dignitas net. If Jstn makes the shot the game goes to a golden goal winner takes all over time. If he doesn’t score dignitas win. Probably the highest pressure shot you could ever take not to mention the shot itself was a hard shot without the timer being on 0 and of course he makes the shot with 0 boost left in the tank and sends the game to overtime making it the most incredible moment in Rocket League history and maybe in eSports history. The moment gives me chills every time.
I love the instant shut down for anyone saying they did the Daigo party in training mode lmao
Daigo parry still brings goosebumps when I watch it.
Daniel: "they make the most satisfying clicking sound I've ever heard"
Me, a custom keyboard enthusiasts: "oh god this is gonna be ba- OH GOD MY EARS"
How many times do i hafta see the simple noscope clip?
Its so fucking overrated
I prefer simple awp throw honestly.
Well, I am biased, but for me the 4-Stock in under 1 minute by Axe on SilentFox is just legendary
Great vid
For all the season One OWL watchers, Pines insane Junkertown Widow Flank
The great bamboozle
Dayum no. 10 was so iconic that it really sent "wombo combo" into esports dictionary for years 🤣
BEST top 10 I've ever seen. Hats off. Made by a true gamer.
Haven't Watched yet but...
Olofboost
Ryu Faker
Both of those in video?
Petros Koster and cold jumping double
And a keyboard ad
Rocket league is so underrated as an esport , it may not be the most popular but anyone can watch the rlcs finals and understand the gameplay
if im not wrong u can hold down one button and parry the whole super today but in that version of SF u had to time every single one right. thats what made it so insane
The chills i get everytime i see justin put that goal in is incredible i think it should have been higher up
This feels like more of a popularity contest instead of just a sick outplay
Finally posted a list with a rocket league play jeez
Not their fault the game sucks for viewers lol
@@voicefulspace5 and ur telling me league of legends doesnt suck for viewers you have to play like a 100 hrs to even half understand the game and you dont even need to know how to play to watch rl
@@voicefulspace5 lol league of legends is literally meaningless to me, before I even started playing RL I understood what the game is about and what looks like a cool game. CS GO is even harder to follow than rocket league, its literally a crime RL isnt a top three esport already but it will get there soon enough, its just so simple to understand.
Bryan Blum thats just like, your opinion man. I been watching esports since probably 2011 and Rocket League is the only one that I’ve actually been entertained enough to follow thoroughly.
tehClew yea i don't understand at all how people would find rocket league hard to follow
Honestly that Go1 vs Leffen play in dbfz should’ve been mentioned
A play that should have been here was Orangemarmelades 2v1's 2v1 in 2009 wow arena. Perfect knowledge of the game, absolute understanding of limits, and flawless execution all rolled into one incredibly clutch moment.
