Lets say we had a hall of fame of esports and it was time for people to vote on the #1 moment in history.
What would that moment be for you?
I know what mine would be.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq1ey4-ewyQ
Only E-sport I have ever followed was League, but this is it for me.
That's fuckin crazy. I'd say the greatest League of Legends Esports play would be Faker vs Ryu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0suIFAAClvg This would have been like, luck mixed with epic guessing.
c9 reverse sweeping the gauntlet to make it to worlds. I know it was only NA, but for me it was the most important, and I loved it.
Gonna guess that double-backdoor play from weeks ago in which one team had the nexus down to like 2 hits before losing the game due to minion damage doesn't count? Forget which teams were involved, but it's definitely one of the greatest "oops" moments of this game.

Also RIP Cod :(.
Nothing can beat that daigo moment,godly. If he defended he would die, he need to parry the whole ulty, and he did while also jumping and doing a combo, rip.
Thats probably my favorite single moment, OP. I don't even play Fighting games, but you know how hard it is to pull off, and the crowd, the pressure, the situation, etc. Its probably the most epic single Esports moment I can think of.
League-wise, I enjoyed the C9 gauntlet run, and the C9 base race fail vs Samsung. Counterstrike is ripe for tons of moments too based on how the rounds and game is structured.
But its hard to beat the Daigo moment.
Start at 23:26, and go until 24:29. I couldn't find a clean cut edit of it Faker's debut game as Nidalee vs. Ambition on Kha'Zix. Faker gets, essentially, 4 kills and a bot lane turret in less than a minute against Top LCK team CJ Entus in his first professional game, ever! https://youtu.be/O1TP8ZC_Dyg
I'm still in shock about it. I haven't recovered from seeing it for my first time, around July 2015. I can never forget about it. Definitely, at minimum, a top 10 esports plays of all time, but probably top 5 or 3
"THAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF DOTA!!!" Nuff said
I would have to agree with you there on that play being amazing, but for humor's sake, Hungrybox vs. Reggie:
Not sure if this counts but...

Still gives me the chills
