What is a MOBA?
Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!
What is SMITE?
SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!
What makes SMITE different?
SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

[@michaelwerner5049]

There was way better SPL plays this year! Come on

[@MrScientist90]

"I'm a bear! I don't care!"

[@robertbeggs3913]

Whoever made this list is high

[@bluntboi101]

You wouldn't even touch a pro player, pipe down mate

[@joptropica]

is it just me or all these plays INSANELY boring and underwhelming i see cooler and more tactical stuff in casuals

[@andyferguson1698]

That's cause casual have such a big gap in better teams and players compared to the pro league

[@ThaKillaWarrior]

Comp = Play it safe Casuals =Risk it for the biscuit

[@bluntboi101]

That's because casuals aren't balanced and there's usually someone that's just pops of all game because they're against bronze players

[@sciencenerd6623]

Just wondering how #5 was a top play.....

[@sciencenerd6623]

Or any of them for that matter

[@Orcasgt22]

Using Fafnirs immunity frames on the leap to avoid Sobek Pluck that has already hit you is a frame perfect timing. It doesn't look like much but its a sick hard thing to do. Hes 100% dead their if he doesn't.

[@happesushi]

Its not like trix intended on using the immunity frames like that or anything, he just was transforming back because the ult ended and dardez plucked while he was still cc immune. The jump after was very quick, yes, but he was likely spamming it hoping to get out before being cc'd.

[@Givens43]

Yeah, the immunity frames had nothing to do with Trixtank. It was more of a bad play by Dardez than it was a good play. Which is why it's really confusing that it's considered a "Top" play.

[@pikarino3329]

Variety hit 4 people with his Ult and zoned everyone away so Cherryo was left alone and got killed. Fight was looking won for Dignitas but then Deathpanther hit 5 people with Thoth ult allowing Jermain to clean up Arkkyl, turning the teamfight into Elevates favor and forcing Dignitas to retreat. eLv was also 9k gold down which made it even harder for them.

[@the_pelekhov]

this top its garbege

[@krab4813]

Макс Пеля “garbage”...... learn English.”this top plays is garbage”

[@the_pelekhov]

Good advice, thank you

[@krab4813]

Макс Пеля People will tell you your English sucks and I don’t want it to happen :D.

[@the_pelekhov]

I didnt learn English, so I will not be offended )

[@joshuamattravers9490]

Макс Пеля ..Except you're talking English.

[@Itamaxification]

The only 'insane' moments were that multiple hit thoth ult and emilitoo body blocking ravana in skadi's ice so he bounced away. I feel like these were all just SPL level team fights, not really a top 5 plays

[@venomvillain5481]

I wouldve liked this better if Inuki commentated during these plays

[@silthersehost6435]

Or if they used tourneys so far.

[@TheIronCast]

No replay files makes that tricky ^_^

[@venomvillain5481]

Understandable. Still enjoyed the video

[@jeremiahbell6129]

How are there no replay files... of SPL games? That seems like a MASSIVE oversight to me.

[@theomegarose2391]

This was kinda...underwhelming.

[@elevengiant]

underwhelming

[@wesleyhopper1541]

It’s all eu lmao

[@SoySuggar]

In my opinion, Smite is the only game where EU is better than NA

[@darkpistol96]

EU >>>>>>>>>>>>>NA

[@silthersehost6435]

Except there isn't that big a difference anymore, at super regionals both regions were very close in terms of skill.

[@SoraSeiichiVT]

If you look at super regionals the only teams that are at the skill level of EU is LG and EUnited, and when they played LG won game 1 in a landslide and game 2 Baskin picked Awilix mid to try it as a scrim since they were garunteed #2 seed at that point

[@silthersehost6435]

Space station and trifecta were playing good in the gauntlet, they played very well against top teams like dig. Even a team as low seeded as noble had a big impact on some teams like Dig.

[@daniel1234840]

this guy didn't see the SPL !!!!

[@sciencenerd6623]

Daniel Diaz EXACTLY

[@12chip6]

No Baskin on the Morrigan at Super Regionals?

[@crysisman09]

That was at a lan event, these were normal spl games

[@henrybrewer1078]

This isn’t the top 5 plays

[@RareIcchan]

oh nice after all these years Inuki is still there with his epic voice :D

[@SwapDancePap]

happy new year smite/hirez

[@joattacks]

ive honestly seen better plays from normal players /: whoops and it also missed inukis voice smh 😤

[@Bananathan25]

Jocelyn Maldonado Except normal players aren't against a 5 man team of pro players trying their hardest to win

[@joattacks]

Nathan Kaushik there are really good players out there that arent pros, so like i said, ive seen some better plays. whoops 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@crysisman09]

Casual games doesnt matter, someone that is master can literally play against bronze level people and destroy lmao

[@joattacks]

crysisman09 You dont always get to pick your master god. ppl can always beat you to choosing the roll you wanted or the enemy team can ban your god so like i said, i’ve still seen better plays 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@djdannyboylol4882]

Seeing the best of spl always makes me wanna get better at the game seeing those plays always fires me up and makes me wanna play harder and get better u guys are inspirational

[@ThatHart]

where was sam4soccers 4 man serqet spread with fine okay being a god and carrying as hercules. As well as wowys quadra defending titan against eunited to win the game

[@aster_6385]

GIVE US MANUKI BACK !!!

[@nermalmal12]

Bear is completely balanced

[@OcToKiLa]

You guys gotta remember that in the spl it's really hard to make these sick asf plays you see in casuals because these players aren't actually garbage. They know what they're doing and been playing this game for years, so you're not gonna see a whole lot of 5 man Scylla ults going around.

[@R.A.M222]

True. But there was better plays in spl this season . Like a good... 5

[@silthersehost6435]

There were like 15 better plays in the spring split alone.

[@jamilvints]

Inuki voice > every caster (Sorry big boi Hindu)

[@THRE3ZY]

Nerf artio

[@kahvicup1]

Some1 skipped SPL

[@abdulazizrushdi9154]

Is it just me or were the plays in the start before the countdown actually better than those in the countdown?? xD

[@megakk9754]

Where was Wowy 1v4 quadra kill in the titan room to save the game? hands down best play of the year.

[@zBigDickBandit]

didnt cyclone have a penta this year?

[@F3ARTHEBLADE1]

at the start of s4 yep with kali adc in egr's fountain

[@silthersehost6435]

That was season 3.

[@radarada6]

Is there a NA version missing to this EU part?

[@nayr16]

The correct title for this should be Top 5 EU Team Fights in SPL

[@jeansalvatierra1475]

1_ de que equipo fue el play? 2_ de quien o quienes fue el play?

[@SpyderMan163]

2015 still is best TOP play ever.

[@robblara7879]

this man was freestyling at the end “imma bear i don’t care”

[@jacobhatef3156]

why didn't inuki commentate here???

[@Franx570]

"I'm a bear, i don't care!!" There must be "Top 5 quotes from casters"

[@ignise5484]

hello baskin's 3man stun on morrigan that won lg the game?

[@nicktremblay-fortin1667]

We want top 10 of the year

[@heribertoheredia7136]

How were the top 5 here pick? Favorite people getting a kill in a spl game for hire?

[@phizzledUP]

This was the worst top 5 I’ve ever seen and this was an entire years worth...nice job hirez

[@bananabo7766]

where is the wowy play 1v 5 pentakill or the fineokay play where he kills all of spacecion , this top were just random plays from eu

[@kennyrecio9277]

Where is Fineokay bringing Hercules back against Jiggs and getting like 8 kills in the final 2 mins

[@cellextheblackout]

Are you serious? That's the best of the best for 2017? Do people really wonder why this game is dead?

[@R.A.M222]

Cellex The Blackout its not the best . Whoever made this list did so at the last second . I watched spl and there was way better choices

[@jamstar463]

Hey I have concerning question I have a consul account and the whole team reported me for no reason is there going to be a ban involved or will somebody check because I do not want to banned

[@ThatHart]

James Anderson u can’t get banned/suspended without a valid reason, people forget that u can’t report people for being bad at the game etc

[@EmuwuNora]

Maybe I'm a bit of an Obey fanboy but Ataraxia's 5 man Medusa stun and Twigs blink Serqet on Merc ult were wayyyyy better than all those plays imo

[@xcreach4434]

Where dem NA Playz at?

[@99nattes03672]

You guys don't understand they aren't too plays because someone gets a penta or godlike, it's a top play because these people actually know how to play as a team lol

[@GerwinS]

I really think you used "play" wrong. The clips shown here are basic teamfights.

[@Drechis]

Where is rival vs dignitas deathwalker ares :/

[@lxParamorexl]

I don’t care about this as long as barraccudda goes to worlds

[@AnasAtewa]

StressedOutHeathen He went to worlds every year anyway Although getting deleted by NRG

[@lempreurthaurissan6497]

I'M A BEAR !

[@109876lol]

There were a lot better plays in this season than what's shown in this "Top 5".

[@rafaelgustavo419]

Where is "top 10 plays"?!

[@yourdad6861]

Me and my boys will be in the pro league some day

[@madrocker138]

You can tell they didn't bother going through the highlight archive thoroughly. There were way better plays this year. I remember this crazy play by Obey vs Nrg that had everyone in twitch chat hyped. Shame.

[@gamyflux9151]

adapting ❤❤

[@sirrexos1596]

When Artio doesn't get banned.

[@PsykeShow]

I just noticed it's EU only!

[@jamesperez988]

And that's why the bear is OP

[@hamzaabid7424]

rival ares game during SuperRegional should get all 5 Top Plays !

[@nidiex4854]

What is the number of players that play smite? I would really want to know that. #SMITEISTHEBEST

[@tt2grezzy]

Does anyone know how to fix this Smite Bug? My God keeps moving on its own and I'm unable to look left or right in any game mode (PS4). Plz help it's super aggravating...

[@KirbyQwop]

tt2grezzy Not sure, but you could try posting about it on the smite subreddit.

[@xXarcheniXx]

For PC that would mean you had a controller hooked up and you just had to disconnect it. Do you have a 2nd controller?

[@ashwinvenkatesan3328]

Hold left on the d pad to stop it

[@Flameauxx]

How is wowys game winning Quadra kill not on this

[@zachariahfostun1059]

Not the 4 man Medusa ult in the jungle by I think pandacat... #5 was definitely better than that play

[@steven_merriam]

Tell me why iraffer was supp serqet on that last clip

[@toropazzoide]

Cause he can

[@Joon2903]

Salty Sealion Serqet has high damage without power items and has some good cc.

[@Krodriguez1994]

Where is fineokay Herc?? WTFFFFF

[@id6687860]

May F. never cast these high level games again please.

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

when you've seen console top 5 plays more exciting than these eu plays meh

[@kaiser_ind_yt]

Are you kidding me? These are the top plays of SPL? There are much better plays in SPL itself. This is more of NRG promotional video. What about obey vs NRG spring split. One of the best matches. :3

[@Axelrad1]

These are just normal teamfights...

[@aadila.rumaney4024]

LAME

[@lordlibra4690]

smh only eu

[@AmphorJ]

Was just here waiting for a Luminosity play...... or more specifically a Barra and Jeff play. I was a little disappointed.....

[@R.A.M222]

To whomever made this list . You must of just got hired or procrastinated. These are not even the top 10 plays .

[@crazyelvis14]

Putting a play with team burrito is a waste

[@AndrewDosSant0s]

Cherryo's hun batz get away - my top play xd

[@crysisman09]

Poker Daddy iRaffer bacchus escape best play

[@rahouiahmed3356]

U call these plays ? MEGALUL

[@kaseyAbaker]

This is why I absolutely hate when a game gets a pro league. All the pros do now is gank to win. What happened to playing games how it's ment to be played, how the developers said it was mentioned to be played.

[@dragontyron]

there were way better moments to pick from c'mon

[@DSJeezy]

Actual top play was Hindu's casting.

[@diesel7687]

COME ON ??? :(

[@lovergurl454]

If cherryo's reach auto's that killed snoopy isn't on here I'm insta disliking

[@FolkSHADE]

No.

[@akzone45]

Yaaawwwn

[@thepepperslayer9139]

Most "casual" games have better plays than this. Does this mean everyone qualifies to be pro?

[@smartfeller8282]

Horseshit. Wowy's titan defense was a better play than all of these combined.

[@dougdimmadabs5001]

the only good one was number 1. All the others were nothing special

[@OVERONX5]

na hubieron mejores que estas 5 una de ellas fue el de captainwig kuzembo y otra de papis warchi creo qeu fue cuadrua kill y un robo de gigante de fuego de dracomarino en verdad hubieron muchas mejores

[@DidoDeGapi]

Taco's commentary alone made this unwatchable

[@thatkid12ful]

That first par was odeeee long and trash

[@ameenisawi5801]

Yes it is all EU just enjoy the plays and shut up :P

[@joshuamattravers9490]

Ameen Isawi I would but they are boring plays and there were far better.

[@jossgrelaya8537]

JosspreReaperW 381942384

[@athenasie]

This suck lol

[@poseidon2525]

The 1st one shown and the one with burrito werent even that good tf😂

[@dempseyroll339]

[@anyeloacunasalinas6585]

[@MMArtsRock]

Top plays of 2017?? Lmfao only #1 was good. Not even great

[@thatkid12ful]

Ooo I’m sorry they were all trash

[@3MrNiceGuy15]

There is absolutely no personality in the casters anymore. Where is the hype? I miss DM and Bart

[@WOLFandANGEL]

So bad this is why spl sucks bad observer bad casters make the game so boring, much more interesting if Inuki casts it

[@oopsy444]

Underwhelming and not worthy of the title top plays. This is why I don't watch much e sorts
