Memorable moments of Esports 2017

Here is a list of the top 10 most memorable moments in the esports industry of 2017.

PUBG forced the organizers to redesign the competition area

Surely there will be people who think that this has nothing to do with current Esports, because PUBG is still in the infancy stage of entering Esports. Of course, this should be in the “worth mentioning” category, as this is not the “moment” as stated in the title, but that does not mean we miss it.

PUBG is a phenomenon and if it continues to grow, 2018 will definitely be the year of PUBG. In 2017, the game dominated the Steam chart, becoming one of the most popular games in the world despite not being officially released. However, if I had to choose an image to represent the success of PUBG and the potential of the game, it is this:

When was the last time you saw the Esports arena split into multiple floors? Which game forces BTC to do that? There isn’t a single game, except this 100-player battle royale game. If a company is willing to pay that much for a game that is just entering Esports, then can you imagine how the future of PUBG in Esports will develop?

HenryG smashes the computer in the field

You’ve probably heard a lot from this moment. Some say it was built. That HenryG threw the fake chassis to entertain the viewers because this was just a show match. Or does he do it to make himself stand out more.

The truth is: HenryG “cleaned” everything in the machine before throwing it because the Gaming Paradise team was about to steal the video card.

Dosia advertises Esports ‘unspeakably cool’

Forget the famous perfume ads. For 2017, a new scent has appeared.

Passion. Intense. Gentle jazz music under the pink fire. A light, provocative bite into the frame of his glasses.

It’s Dosia, by X-GOD.

Rekkles and PraY solo general Garen in All-Star

What happens when an event that was supposed to be entertaining turns into unprecedented tension? In All-Star, I don’t understand why the players decided to take it so seriously.

“It’s no longer a festival, it’s a one-on-one battle,” Longzhu ADC PraY said, adding: “It’s too intense. I’m playing with teammates I’ve never known, and yet I’m under pressure not to lose the game.”

Fortunately, this pressure does not cause too much psychological hindrance. Instead, we get to see first-hand the newcomer-friendly champion: 2 Garen solo mids, driven by 2 of the game’s best ADCs.

Rekkles celebrates after Fnatic survived the decisive match at Worlds

Entering the final day of the group stage at the world finals, Fnatic and their team’s ADC Rekkles were in danger of missing out on the quarterfinals. After missing out on worlds 2016, will fnatic continue to have to leave empty-handed?

On day 8 of the tournament, fnatic bounced back and bounced back to become one of the best moments of this year’s worlds. And behind his computer was the mainstay of the team, shouting in excitement.

The Betrayal of MonteCristo

If you google MonteCristo, chances are you’ll come across video This is from the 2013 World Finals of the Alliance.

It was a memorable moment in the Alliance cast and a creative portrayal of Monte. Thankfully, his personality hasn’t been lost when Monte switched his cast from League to Overwatch. At the Overwatch World Cup at BlizzCon, Monte continued to support the Korean boys but in a rather unexpected way.

EG lost in shock at TI7

If there’s one game that can represent the power of Evil Geniuses, it’s Dota 2. TI5 champion and one of the most stable teams, EG flew to Seattle this year determined to win a second aegis shield for the game. I and 2 bright stars: UNiVeRsE and SumaiL.

But what happened was a shameful performance. The loss in the bracket to Newbee sparked their brief tragedy – the Chinese team then made it to the finals. The saddest thing happened the next day, when EG lost to underdog Empire even though Empire had to use a stand-in in that match.

The dream is broken, the shield is slowly getting out of reach. It was EG, head bowed, eyes sad because he couldn’t believe what had happened.

GuardiaN has the most memorable ‘chym’ phase in CS:GO

There will be processing phases that will always live on in the CS:GO community. s1mple’s 2K AWP, fnatic’s 4 AWP setup phase. Olofmeister defuses a bomb despite being burned or a Dosia grenade. They all left their mark on many CS:GO maps.

If there’s one 2017 tackle that stands out above all, it’s GuardiaN’s ‘chym’ on FalleN. Down 12-15 and losing 1-2, FaZe Clan is about to be eliminated from ESL Pro League Season 6. Map is train, and GuardiaN is in a clutch against fer and FalleN. He defeated the first player, but the CZ ran out of ammo. FalleN is standing in smoke, defuse the bomb and victory is only seconds away. Immediately, GuardiaN took the knife straight into the smoke, and stabbed the fatal knife into FalleN, to keep FaZe Clan’s hope.

KuroKy sheds tears after winning TI7

There are Esports players like KuroKy. Liquid’s captain may not be as bright, stand out as the iconic Faker, or shoot like a saint like coldzera, but there’s a story behind him. To reach glory, the new King of TI7 had to confront his old teammates, taste bitter defeats or almost give up his Dota 2 career.

The word “deserving” properly describes the efforts of the players, of the teams that have never achieved the championship dream. Maybe this word is a bit exaggerated. But in KuroKy’s case it was completely different. When his emotions surged, he was almost speechless, it could only be the words “finally achieved” that popped into his mind.

A dynasty fell

For many years, they called him the “Immortal Demon King”. People were afraid to meet him in the Rift and they idolized him. For years, he ruled League of Legends from the throne in Korea and forced his opponents to acknowledge him. Until November 4, this dynasty fell.

Faker was still strong, outstanding in his game, a superb player and an exemplary captain, but on that Saturday, he suddenly realized that he was just a “human”. With his head bowed in his chair, with his head in his hands after SK Telecom 1 was defeated by Samsung Galaxy, Faker bursting into tears and realizing he had lost is considered the most iconic, emotional image in this year’s Esports village.
