The Top 10 Soul-Crushing Chokes We Still Can't Believe
Вставка

- We expect a lot of things from the best.
We expect skill, incredible game-sense, knowledge, but most importantly, we expect the uncanny ability to always come through in the clutch.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to always be a clutch god, and even the greatest players make mistakes on the biggest stages. Sometimes? Those mistakes aren't a big deal, but other times, they cost them the map, the game or even the tournament.
When that happens, we call it a choke, and some chokes haunt us to this day.
These are the Top 10 Chokes in Esports History.

They just made this video to put cold's jumping AWP
😂😂
actually true
The Score Esports really moved on from The Olofboost xD
I imagine it's like a human without oxygen for them
Give it a day mabey two max, they will relapse.. they always do! Danm junkies...
Its og op mannn olof the legend
Tempting fate i see.
Lmaooooo
Can’t wait to see where all of the Evil Geniuses chokes end up
I was wondering the same exact thing when I saw the video title. It's a shame that roster never won a title. So close so many times
@@dakotastumpf9288 that roster didnt but they wont eslone and starseries
@@dakotastumpf9288 they won the first invitationals
@@dakotastumpf9288 2nd best in the world babyyyy
i've not watched the video yet but i know Canadian on white stairs will be here.
Yup
And Simple knife on Nitro
Yes saddness
Which game?is this seige? Sorry m not in fps.
@@wk6001 yeap. Rainbow six Siege.
Simple knife is csgo.
Ah I expected a simple knife miss.THE CLASSIC😂😂
The real #1 choke
But it wasn't a major so..
@@sharathgowtham2157 liquid still went on to win the series and later on the whole grand slam in the shortest time possible. The grand slam is the next best thing to a major iirc
@@smogblazer4509 Liquid 15-8 vs Ence choke should have been here
The most cringe is when the miss all their shots with the USP
Karrigan Vs KennyS
And electronic behind zywoo
@@arnoklocke3003 Those 2 aren't even remotely comparable
@@arnoklocke3003 pain
THREE AND FOUR AND FIVE AND SII
OH MY GOD ZYWOOO
@@arnoklocke3003 can't blame electrnic tho because csgo side and back hitbox are dogshit.
"Watch me Whiff, Watch me Nenne"
😂😂😂 I'M DEAD
Honestly I expected much more singular chokes in this video. Something like a Jensen chronoshift for example.
Wasn't big to mentioned, so no.
But all of NA teams choked? For a big pay only, so why not?
It's unfair for Guardian being the one only named after that Faze loss. He's the only one who showed up.
i agree, the way he explained that choke is really dumb, didnt say the comeback scoreline or anything of the events that set the choke in motion
@@CAZEINSANE its just dumb how they have a 14 min video but then explain the nr1 in 1 minute
@@TvLOverdose yup they should explain that who really choked was karrigan(sadly) and NiKo.Also olof and rain showed up but it wasnt enough.That would be enough to say.
When you’re 1hp off and that one hp stall results in a loss...
Sadge
Coney on the mkleo vs tweek set was ON POINT with the commentary, made me feel chills on the spine
G2 going to the wrong site in CS:GO, or Sumit losing the whole game after walking though his molotov?
wouldnt define the summit one as a "choke" more of a "blunder"
Both aren't really chokes, more like fails
Nah, a choke is if there’s really high stakes than and you’re ahead (usually by quite a significant amount), and then you throw the game away
They featured the summit one in a top 10 cs go fails or something like that.
I cant believe simple knife at cologne 2019 group stage wasnt here
You forgot eHome choking to EG TI 6 when they had mega creeps in what is one of the best games of all esports history.
I like how they spent more time describing all of them but the actual number 1
Last time I was this early, all the vids had olofboost
“Watch me whiff, watch me Nenne” is comedy gold
Is here how ence comebacked in major against liquid
Nah wasnt, but i remembered how they suck
tbf, if Nenne had hit his grav, it would have been applauded as a genious move
true but honestly... the risk to reward was too great imo. like yeah it wins the game on the spot, but probably so does a less ambitious grav
I was expecting the simple knife choke in this video ngl. Great video anyways!!
Genuinely surprised that Bang at Worlds 2017 wasn't on the list. Or even Blank.
For those wondering about the Nenne grav: 1) NYXL has a history of choking(S1 stage 1, not getting to the S1 finals), even before OWL with the LW Blue and LW Red teams(see Kaiser Earthshatter vs LW)
2) the grav getting Michelle could’ve worked wonders, could’ve taken out the EMP that could eliminate NY’s chances on its own
Unfortunately it didn’t work and now we have the Nenne Grav
Smite has a team that has choked 4 times in the world’s finals. Definitely worth a look.
LMAO the rival curse
The fact that they choked the exact same way multiple times is even more ridiculous, you'd think they'd just stop picking poseidon. If not for the fact of the multiple kraken chokes, because poseidon sucks
I would have thought simple's knife on nitro to be on this list
Me too
Danny sounds like every top 10 channel ever
TheScore esports : Today's video's about choking
NA : Let me introduice myself..
You made an understatement when you said being a TL CS fan isn't for the faint of heart. My guy, every single game, even against the smallest of opponents, feels like a grand final of a major. Its always really close for no reason, and its infuriating because 2019 showed us that TL has what it takes to be the best, but they need to hit that perfect stride.
I love how they gotta take a second to explain a Dota mechanic, you love to see it
I haven't seen it yet, but I bet I see at least Liquid CSGO choke twice.
I’m expecting at least two of these spots to be featuring Canadian
I love how well represented call of duty esports is in this list!
I'm guessing that Olof Boost is here.
C9 vs FaZe major final needs to be here. Still the biggest fluke/choke in esports history.
Ty thescore for putting this choke in its rightfull place at the top of the list.
the FNC vs TES Quarter worlds 2020 is near it ahah
Just to mention in my opinion the hardest choke was VP in Atlanta 2017. Nobody saw that comming, yet it still happened! :p
Haven’t even started watching and I already know Rainbow Six EG and Liquid in CS:GO are already on this.
I was hoping to see Secret TI chokes that would be a lot 😂
its funny that i have watched this video 100times same things over and over and....
Love the windows 94 microphone
As soon as I saw the title I knew NAVI was gonna be here
Wow, can't beleive that the summit 1g moli wasn't covered, it's probably the Most famous choke in esports
best taste in music goes to this guy
Oof I can hear the gagging and gasping for air all the way here. Also you guys sure love that Jumping AWP huh?!
Would be cool to see more coverage on FGC and other types of esports than just moba or fps
I am a simple man . I see choke I immediately think of NYXL
Nice I just got depressed all over again 'cause of the Boston Major final
To be fair Punk's choke against Tokido, was probably going to happen since he did knock him into losers only to find him in grand finals again after an amazing losers run.
One's worst choke is other's best comeback🙌
Great video, and btw Colin you'll be missed.
What happened?
@@golasticus He left the score esports, he posted on twitter
Honestly sometimes the biggest chokes can also be the best comeback from the opponent.
Yooo it's the guy that used to be from MostAmazingTop10. Caught me off guard.
Can't wait to see when simple decided he wanted to knife n1tro in dust2, if it's not in this vid I'll dislike
My top choke is C9ning from overwatch xD
C9 once won a teamfight but didnt touch payload and lost the match because of it, it spawned an entire term for when this happens in pubs
You should do a second list and include Dignitas’ choke in the Grand Finals at RLCS S6
I watched half of these live wtf
my opponents on cs today had 10-5 on us and we were suffering until on t side
we were rushing a and b sometimes mid and we get aces/clutches/flawless rounds and we were 14-15 it was final round and they choked it and we tied
good ol chokes
You should do a video on low tear god sum time and dark side phill lol
I definitely though the RTZ curse would make its cliff-hanging appearance here...
do a top 10 esports players that came in from other sports/industries
Surprised you didn't include the reverse sweep Complexity put on OpTic in BO2 back in 2013 at the Full Sail Invitational. It definitely falls into the soul-crushing category considering that OpTic and their fan base had succumbed to their kryptonite of Aches and coL once again... but glad it was omitted from the list considering that they were down 3-1 in map count in a best of 7 series; its not the worst choke but it's up there.
You forgot every ranked game ive ever played where my team is in a 5v1 and just rushed to get last kill, leaving me in a bad situation with no Intel on site waiting to die
I read this as top 10 times liquid played in a major
Ah, the "Sombra Catcher" choke. Nenne did not pop off at that very moment.
Who knew Danny was with esports thescore
I was really expecting to see that SF Shock vs ATL Reign C9 that lost Shock the game and put them into the losers' bracket alongside Moth's hilarious reaction.
anyone remember TSM’s choke against OpTic in a Black Ops 3 series? Wasn’t soul crushing, but damn was it funny 😂
I've seen many of these plays in ranked, usually by me. I guess I play at a pro level
Damn T1 not making worlds after winning spring split(forgot which split) hurts.
To this day it still hurts me that Tweek lost that final
cant wait to see oregon white stairs
Tbh Fazes choke against liquid back at the Boston Major was huge but in my opinion Zvens choke against Team liquid was way more hearthbreaking
No Woshige chokes aka "WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR!!!!?" moment?
s1mple's knife attempt to nitr0 is the most heartbreaking choke that happen atleast in CSGO history, it cost them the map and the game
TL and EG be choking twice
wow wow wow danny burke? i unsubbed from most amazing top 10 cause they dropped him,really good to see him back on another big channel
What about the recent Smite World Championship with Pittsburgh Kinght vs Ghost. That was a hard choke/throw.
Game 4 MkLeo is absolutely no joke. That’s the truest form of the GOAT
I was thinking you were including the s1mple almost clutch v Ence
The summit choke
Add Team Liquid's 10th Sep 2021 1v5 choke against Refrezh (Heroic) here now... spoken with tears in my eyes as a TL fan
im surprised they did not include rekkles' twitch lol HAHAHAHA
As a Liquid csgo fan, I feel targeted.
at least they didnt include katowice 2019 against ence :D
i was like WHERE da fuck is the FaZe boston major choke and never been so happy to see number 1 haha
Have not watched but Faze clan Boston Major definitely here
Watching danny burke from mostamazingtop10😂😂
Who is this guy? The first time I'm watching this channel without being bombarded by the usual "fellow-kids" atmosphere...
They better mention EG's choke in the Six Invitational a couple years ago
eyyy they did
i really though tsms 2020 0-6 worlds run would be on here
NGL I was expecting to see the 1G on this list.
i already know team liquid choke from Columbus 2016 is on here
Danny? I havent heard you since you were in Most amazing i think
Ghost Gaming at the SWC is definitely top 10 imo
Astralis: From Chokers to Champions
ENCE vs Liquid, IEM Katowice 2019 quarterfinals, Liquid had a 15-7 lead
Haven’t seen the vid and already know the no. 1 spot 🥲
Cant believe they didnt include Samsung Ozone 2013
5:40 How about IEM Katowice 2019 when they choked to ENCE? They went from 15-8 to 16-19
Can’t wait for Canadian TWICE
Next Video: Top 10 greatest comebacks
definitely should have included Optic beating Envy in two BO5 AT CHAMPS AND STAGE 2 playoffs
