Okay but if we're talking about underdog runs, we are definitely missing Zeta's unexpected lower bracket run to third place in Masters Reykjavik and Paper Rex' run to grand finals at Copenhagen with their w gaming playstyle (but to be fair, PRX were going in as favorites at that time since their team had just been on an upward slope for a while), both of which basically launched minor regions into the limelight and had people hyped for the game and rooting for them out of nowhere
@@adlanhaziq honestly they have a pretty good advantage coming in since they haven't really changed their roster, they're a lot more comfortable coming in to this than other teams. I'm just hoping that they'll be able to go beyond their previous peaks and stay consistent with their confidence
All 3 asian teams that reached top 3 in an international tournament were pretty iconic tbf. Zeta's fairytale run, prx first ever and only asian finalist til date, drx breaking the curse, not mention both games against flx especially were very hype
Reykjavik had the near Cinderella run Copenhagen had the APAC scene placed on the map Champions had DRX breaking their curse :') they all still didn't win but they won our hearts
I clicked on this video with pretty low expectations because those kind of top lists are mostly trash… But I have to admit, ALL of these moments flashed into my memory like: yeah that truly was so crazy! I remember all of them and you brought them back and I have to thank you for that. The chronicle ace vs KRÜ was one of the best moments in Valorant esports for me. Although the FPX XSET scandal was just confusing and weird, not a great moment.
That was my aim for this video, I'm so glad you enjoyed! I was debating whether or not to put the Turret situation in there, but decided to because of the incredible clutch by Zekken. Chronicle's ace was 🤌
Loud x Optic Ascent and Breeze in the Champions grand Finals are always going to be the most memorable maps for me, specially Sacys and Aspas performances on the respective maps I've said, it was so thrilling as a loud fan
@@emilywada6531 pior que nem é mano kkkkk mas eu acho que aquele clutch do Sacy plantando na B da ascent ou as plays do aspas na breeze mereciam um lugar
12:27 not to mention it was the first time a 3-0 reverse sweep could have been possible if drx won that map. I remember the hope we all had for drx to finally end their curse and win it all. good times.
ZETA has one of the best underdog story imo. Literally everyone on every single social media platform I've seen clowned them and predicted that they'll go home early. They finished 3rd overall on Reykjavik which is a big achievement for them and Japan's FPS esport scene.
finally I've come across another high quality valorant competitive content creator! the other being Valorant ascended. I appreciate this type of content. you're making these moments that much greater by letting people remember them with context. Thanks for your breakdowns!
4:45 this is why I love nAts he is a lurking prodigy at the time and I still love him because he is very nice person and he is the most chillest person we seen in VCT.
Great video man, the ardiis clutch is still the most impressive live clutch i've ever seen. Stuck in a corner, 1 hp. 3 headshots, it hit different, i don't think anybody believed he could clutch that. And yet he did.
Your videos have a unique touch to it which makes it so elegant, love it ♥️ I'd love to see a part 2 of this 😁 Also a suggestion, try to talk a little bit slower than this, I think it would make it easier for the viewers to be able to absorb the meaning of what you're saying. Especially it would help to highlight those little jokes you make, 4:06 like this for example, it was funny but it could easily go unnoticed. Hope this helps you. ♥️
You missed out on Fnatic vs M3C's Split which happened in March 2022. This game, which had a spot at Champions on the line, went for an astounding 1:42:14 and 44 rounds, ended with FNC taking the game and the spot at champions with a scoreline of 23-21. IMO it was easily the best Valorant played in VCT EMEA for the year. I do think that DRX vs FPX's Ascent takes a deserving first place on this list though.
I remember watching that game, it truly was incredible - especially the 0.02 second defuse. I didn't put it in here because I didn't know if it was as 'iconic' as some of the other moments, but I might make a video on it separately because it was just so good. Hope you enjoyed the video!!
@@CommendYT I sincerely hope you do make it a separate video; it was one of my favorite VCT viewing experiences ever. I loved the video man. Keep doing what you do, your VCT content is great!
KRU vs GAMBIT at champions 2021 is the greatest valorant match I have ever seen Loved the video. I'm greatful that you included KRU 2021 champions run as it was trully an iconic moment for esports in latam as no one ever had went so far in a big esports mayor tournament (until Loud champions 2022). The KRU run was even in the news here in Chile. Love the content, keep it up
Really glad you enjoyed the video! The music there is Mewmore's remix of Clock Tower from Marvel vs Capcom 2, which can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/ZR6liu10mDM/v-deo.html
I love this list btw, other videos that talk about iconic moments show a lot of fluff from famous streamers and pros, but this is really the most iconic moments
Chronicle's saving ace definitely deserves a spot and not just an honorable mention. The casting there was insane as well as how important that clutch was for Gambit as they were gonna be broke the next round with 9-12 and might end with KRU facing ACEND in the grand finals.
A few amazing moments that come to mind too: - FNC vs M3C, Split, round 32 I think, 0.03 spike explosion - Cauazin Ninja defuse - The Nats Ult on Bind vs. Envy - (This isn't on the server but still) Onur sending Zombs a message after they eliminate Sentinels And a very specific personal favorite: Chronicle and Sheydos retaking A on Icebox with a Deagle and an OP, a 4x2 against Liquid to close the map.
I SAW THAT THROW from xset live, that was one of the biggest throw i've seen in my life lmao they simply needed to just stay in heaven and hold it they were holding spawn for no reason
I remember that in the Kru vs GMB match we were 8 friends on the call shouting each round of kru. It was the best time I've had since I played valorant
the stax clutch and mouse kiss was iconic that after the match, when he tweeted what mouse he was using the sales of the mouse suddenly went up right after he tweeted hahahaha
Yeah when the game had no agent pool and maps were broken 🤣 Lentinals That's why they lost to team with worst stats in this video Ahahahah Sen fanboy I was looking for that in comments.
great video! i think another iconic moment goes as far back as Iceland 2021, V1 vs TL. V1 going in as massive underdogs AND with a sub and losing their map pick to win the second and on Haven at a pivotal moment... vanity 180s soulcas and you can tell that boomed TL. also Pansy's commentary - DELETE THE GAME. that moment made me start watching pro valorant edit: i also think vanity was one of the first pros to implement astra and V1 pioneered post plant lineup meta
it's so crazy that that KRU v SEN match was L I T E R A L L Y the doom of that roster written in the stars, they never regained form again after that tournament
Masters not champions, but it was the first big VALORANT tournament so even though it wasn’t the actual champions, not dropping a map in the first ever and biggest VALORANT tournament at the time is pretty impressive.
Are there any moments that you think I missed? Let me know, along with what you want to see next!
the champions 2022 final in and of itself was iconic
Zetas run at reykjavik
100T vs Ascend, that comeback was insane
paper rex first yoru win vs g2 on bind
suygetsu's 4k to win copenhagen with bren yelling "absolutely ridiculous", 100t's comeback vs acend, mistic team flash that gave sen iceland win
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to not mention the greatest rivalry in val: optic vs loud (3-3 games / 9-9 on maps)
It's so sad that they both don't have the same rosters anymore :(
@@thir13een24 i mean, it was a great way to end a great rivalry, totally tied
@@quemuraa not tied, loud won.
@@enn_emanuel tied in maps and games, loud won the last and most important one, sure. but in actual games, it's a complete tie
@@quemuraa Loud won at the end.
aspas spinning with the jett updraft against scream was iconic
Drx vs fpx was like a grand final match from a csgo major
Fr man
@@xafter828 man is cultured
Exactly I feel like that was the best Match of the tourney
Only ascent
It was better than optic vs loud

isso ai mano a lista do cara mo ruim
puro clubismo
@@emilywada6531 pior que nem é mano kkkkk mas eu acho que aquele clutch do Sacy plantando na B da ascent ou as plays do aspas na breeze mereciam um lugar
Kinda ironic that 100t got 13-0d by guard on ascent but then 13-2d them 2 months later on the same map with their new roster
100t money does that
it was with stellar and derrek right?
M3c VS fnatic 21:23 on split from challengers 1 this year was a treat to watch.
Yeah this match will stay in my memory for a long time! Sad though that it wasn’t on a international tournament…
0.03 seconds
@@yzabeIa 0.02 sec
I think including 100Ts incredible comeback against Acend is probably one of the most iconic moments in valorant, especially that nitro kill onto Cned
Aspas hitting jett's last kunai in marved totally blind, that was insane!!!
The nats and chronicle hold against acend in breeze was insane. Nats was crazy that whole map
12:27 not to mention it was the first time a 3-0 reverse sweep could have been possible if drx won that map. I remember the hope we all had for drx to finally end their curse and win it all. good times.

TRUE!
Nothing will top the memories of watching prime Gambit obliterate everyone in their path. They were monsters , it's sad that the war fucked em over.
4:45 this is why I love nAts he is a lurking prodigy at the time and I still love him because he is very nice person and he is the most chillest person we seen in VCT.
Bro I remember KRU winning against SEN, literally I saw ppl crying was so unexpected and that made epic for me
I still think leviatan vs xset on haven is the most iconic moment because of the amount of unbelievable things that happened
shroud's return to competitive was one of my all time favorites
Insanely well made video, keep it up man
So good Video
Great fricken video man.
I would have loved to see 100T's comeback against Ascend on Breeze from last year as well.
or their 11 round comeback vs gambit
@@chasemd9992 YES!!!!
Great video man, the ardiis clutch is still the most impressive live clutch i've ever seen. Stuck in a corner, 1 hp. 3 headshots, it hit different, i don't think anybody believed he could clutch that. And yet he did.

5:18 reminds me so much of NepthenZ’s : WHY R U THERE ??!!!!!
Even if loud won the championship, DRX blew everyone's mind
i mean, loud was more of the underdog there, optic was expected to win 60% at least
the optic drx game, why was fns crouch peeking garage? up to this day i still didnt understand that play at all..

Man this is the list, for real those moments are REALLY REALLY ICONIC. Thank you for sharing!
Redgar on Gambit : serious , killee vibe
Redgar on TL: hmm lemme entry with omen
Yay's ace with headhunter only on icebox is one of my favourite moments in valorant history
5:21 the caster having a mental reakdown with nats and his lurking is hilarious
It's impossible to not mention the most injustice in val : Vivo Keyd -7 rounds
im surprised 100t comeback vs acend or gambit wasnt on this list both matches were bangers also fnc vs gambit
A few amazing moments that come to mind too:
- FNC vs M3C, Split, round 32 I think, 0.03 spike explosion
- Cauazin Ninja defuse
- The Nats Ult on Bind vs. Envy
- (This isn't on the server but still) Onur sending Zombs a message after they eliminate Sentinels
And a very specific personal favorite: Chronicle and Sheydos retaking A on Icebox with a Deagle and an OP, a 4x2 against Liquid to close the map.

good video, masterclass commentary. Subbed.
good content man,keep it coming :)
Great video man good work
i know its old but sentinels being dominant on the 1st lan, it was iconic
Really well done video :D
Your commentary was impeccable. You have earned a new sub keep it up.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
My pleasure
The most iconic moment so far was buzz kissing his mouse in slow mo.
i remember being in my school's library with a couple of friends when ardis hit that 1v3 live and i knew i had just witnessed history
"this is his world and we're just living in it"
the stax clutch and mouse kiss was iconic that after the match, when he tweeted what mouse he was using the sales of the mouse suddenly went up right after he tweeted hahahaha
13:00 the 6k Keznit did on icebox against fnatic?? Just wondering and saying: "Can you Play???"
DRX vs FPX's Ascent will be forever legendary in the VCT history. Hands down the peak pro valorant, I've ever watched.
Why no mention to a single play from LOUD? There was a LOT of clutches for the wins. What about their trap pick map, Haven?
Kru vs gambit was by far the best match of vct, greetings from la San Gregorio, Australia
100T vs Gambit was a Iconic moment.
The kru vs gmb match was one of the best matches that ive ever seen
Great video! Hope to see more
Definitly the first map comeback by gmb at champs 2021 grand finals is iconic to me
i think sentinels run without dropping single map is 1 of the most iconic moments thats sick.
no, that’s sick! ->
OMG, that's SicK!
Yeah when the game had no agent pool and maps were broken 🤣 Lentinals
That's why they lost to team with worst stats in this video
Ahahahah

Patiphan jump in to the stage is iconic.
Prx first ever international yoru win should be up there imo. But great video tho
Not mentioning Sentinels goig through the first iceland without dropping a map, after also winning regional masters?????
i love how Boom players smiles as they realized they fucked up
I think u missed the 100thieves vs acend in vct berlin, the breeze comeback it was one of the first comebacks in valorant pro tourneys ig
That comeback was the best imo
in the same tournament they made a 3-11 comeback against gambit too, arguably the best team in the world at the time
@@loxlin2647 yea the icebox right 👍
@@harshaaplays yee
Also...Amazon suddenly received plenty of Razer Deathadder orders after the insane clutch by Stax
I think DRX's 4-12 comeback against Furia should've been here
Stax is the true protagonist
Drx vs Fpx was the best champions game to ever exist
tenz comeback and win iceland is one of the most iconic moment in val
casters make the clips sooo much more hype
it's so crazy that that KRU v SEN match was L I T E R A L L Y the doom of that roster written in the stars, they never regained form again after that tournament
Unfortunate you didn't say anything about derreks clutch percentage cause it was batshit insane. Good video tho :)

really well made. keep it up
