1. Astralis vs
Fnatic
Tournament: ELEAGUE major 2017
The first map at the semi-final of ELEAGUE Major 2017, within which Astralis went off against Fnatic, was truly spectacular. We saw a series of additional rounds, each of which was a true thriller with fans frozen in anticipation, and every second making everything as intense as it can be. How did it end?
2. KRiMZ vs
TSM
Tournament: ELEAGUE Season 1 (2016)
KRiMZ seemed invisible to the players of
TSM here. The terrorist passed by, our player greeted him, but cold-bloodedly left the enemy alive and went further. What do you need smoke for, if you aren't seen or heard?
3. FalleN vs
Natus Vincere
Tournament: IEM Katowice 2016
It was March of 2016, and Luminosity Gaming weren't the champions of the major tournament yet, but even then the team had already shown a true performance at IEM Katowice 2016. It was a semi-final match, the first map, a 12:13 score, and the importance of that round can hardly be overestimated.
Natus Vincere confidently killed four friends of
FalleN and the Brazilian was left alone. He got an AWP, though. This is important. This is very imporant. Having come to the plant, he planted the bomb at the last second. The Polish audience froze, and so did everyone, watching the match on monitors. After that… You need to see this for yourself.
4. GuardiaN vs
SK Gaming
Tournament: ESL Pro League Season 6: Finals
This round went down in history of esports CS:GO. SK Gaming was one step away from winning the tournament. The two against one situation seemed a victory point for the Brazilians, but
GuardiaN had other plans on this score. The magazine got empty,
FalleN started desperately defusing the bomb, and the Slovak had only one chance: to win or lose.
5. summit1g vs
CLG
Tournament: DreamHack Austin 2016
It was DreamHack Austin 2016. The group stage didn't go the best way for team Splyce, though a victory in a match against
CLG let the squad continue fighting for the playoff.
Splyce got a match-point at a 15:11 score on the 1st map, and
summit1g won an unbelievable clutch. You'd think how can one lose a round when there are no enemies left and there's enough time to defuse the bomb. Check it out.
