[@cpmigs]

the champions 2022 final in and of itself was iconic

[@techno9276]

Zetas run at reykjavik

[@itsmorte]

100T vs Ascend, that comeback was insane

[@twistoid]

paper rex first yoru win vs g2 on bind

[@polrrz]

suygetsu's 4k to win copenhagen with bren yelling "absolutely ridiculous", 100t's comeback vs acend, mistic team flash that gave sen iceland win

[@quemuraa]

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to not mention the greatest rivalry in val: optic vs loud (3-3 games / 9-9 on maps)

[@thir13een24]

It's so sad that they both don't have the same rosters anymore :(

[@Aryannnnn609]

It was better than optic vs loud

[@beneathradar]

aspas spinning with the jett updraft against scream was iconic

[@caleb74]

Zeta’s run at Iceland is iconic too

[@justsomedude168]

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

[@Zyo_Shura]

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

[@Mh2sK1]

@@justsomedude168 bruh 2022 is the year for asian val lol

[@meejjj.]

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]

I hope PRX does well in the upcoming invitationals, pushing up their form back to Copenhagen-Reykyavik

[@meejjj.]

@@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

[@siphonVLRT]

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.

[@CommendYT]

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 🤌

[@TheLauti1999]

@@CommendYT as a kru fan, that moment hurt like a stabb but it was amazing by Chronicle

[@loxlin2647]

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

[@paulmccharmley]

100t money does that

[@taserface5354]

it was with stellar and derrek right?

[@sting4172]

Gambit gave us so many unforgettable moments as a team whole, I don’t think we’ll come across a team as diff as them ever again.

[@caiosantana6889]

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]

isso ai mano a lista do cara mo ruim puro clubismo

[@caiosantana6889]

@@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

[@DanMafrey]

Aspas hitting jett's last kunai in marved totally blind, that was insane!!!

[@ibrahimahmad1055]

I think including 100Ts incredible comeback against Acend is probably one of the most iconic moments in valorant, especially that nitro kill onto Cned

[@kasu9337]

The nats and chronicle hold against acend in breeze was insane. Nats was crazy that whole map

[@bendi423]

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!

[@eternaleffect2499]

M3c VS fnatic 21:23 on split from challengers 1 this year was a treat to watch.

[@sluggyg4932]

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

[@mr.someone5679]

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.

[@bitchiamfromchicago3920]

so far in 2023 my favourite iconic moment has to be the kang kang sniper shot reaction, it was too cold

[@suika7707]

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.

[@CommendYT]

👀

[@andresgranados4074]

Man this is the list, for real those moments are REALLY REALLY ICONIC. Thank you for sharing!

[@jbennett8660]

Great fricken video man. I would have loved to see 100T's comeback against Ascend on Breeze from last year as well.

I still think leviatan vs xset on haven is the most iconic moment because of the amount of unbelievable things that happened

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.

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).

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. ♥️

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

[@jesusmerida1483]

I think the only moment missing is 100T comeback from 7-12 against ascend

[@fubarashi]

I kinda miss the Gambit/M3C v Fanatic match at the VCT challengers 1 2022 which was one of the best and most watched matches since with an overtime of 24:26 I guess but it was higher than the drx fpx match

[@pickle2942]

Great job on the video man 😊

[@lilchopan8418]

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.

[@cristheojon4884]

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

[@IzabelaSSilva]

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.

nAts is like emotionless whenever he plays or clutches lmao

[@vinciob7404]

[@alexhuynh6805]

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.

[@CommendYT]

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!!
