bounces to it [Applause] squishy [Applause] digs rocket League [Applause] the title parks back to Amerika carpet what there's no better time to defy expectations than on your chosen games biggest stage which is why problem X's Cinderella esque run at Evo comes in at number seven after an incredible run to the top eight the Bison player made it through to the grand final on winners side where he awaited his eventual opponent Evos defending street fighter champion taquito but taquito is still on the verge of resetting this about Mexico okay opportunity who he challenged she challenged we

goes in there Charl there go through the B reversal knocks him down oh that should be punishable that's taken evolution 28 at number six is the moment that one of League of Legends best players became an international champion hoozy is a grizzled league veteran and arguably the world's best ad carry but he's never been able to translate that individuals skill into an international trophy that is until the midseason Invitational this might be the best chance for orangie to win the title on this massive winning streak I seen an ad carry meta with who's he performing like it's now I never almost and boy did he put on a show now he's exhausted here come on stand united fight sometimes left musica pretty manages get another [ __ ] [ __ ] let me will not find the toy if there's enough damage coming out thanks to that tear that never down easy the male and that's huge amount of fungus called to king size the mystic shot orangey played their hearts out and this time when the team needed him most woozy delivered in the biggest way possible super minions on the Nexus we are back in the game and we've gone straight to 110 RNG inside the parapet shoot for me in town as well we're gonna fight

seconds of BDD it's 33 great Tina tried to cut away the inhibit eternities the focus and now is peanut Ragnarok to try and escape the inevitable fill middle there goes let me solve it caught my god [Applause] it is beautiful to behold the happiness [Applause] the world LVL spring miracle run taking every single opponent down that China had to offer and now the world - coming in at number five is the moment Pangos team solidified themselves as the greatest roster in Rainbow six siege despite Penta sports incredible 2017 a loss in the Pro League semi-finals at the end of that year two black dragons meant that they came into the 2018 season with a cloud of uncertainty I think shot se is widely considered to be one of the top players in all of Europe and going on to Penta a lot of people are claiming that this is going to be the greatest super team ever formed in rainbow after getting revenge on the Brazilians in the 2018 Invitational semi finals Penta further prove that they have what it takes to be the best team in the world they'll make it to the grand final proving the world what's it for all that they are arguably the best team but there's still one more opponent to go with and against eg they did just that in what will likely go down as one of the most memorable Grand Finals Rainbow six siege has ever seen but it's not enough Kang Yuri frags and Koga finishes off that spoke and SDK with the follow up they see with the finisher and Evil Geniuses will take the first round Bobby I'm gonna need to try something brave here because he possibly goes for a plan bathing it out goes through the 80s neck Rock cat hitting dot at fabien wins it how does that happen is Penghu going to be able to cover that fire he gets BC can pay you keep going he's looks so good thank you with neck rocks takes it down any cheese dangle I don't get the diffuser pens are not taking this just yet none will need to get him he has only ten seconds and he enters they will be in a standoff can he get the Valkyrie two seconds young pushes up running at a time neither get it Penza hold on oh my Matt's point pet tuck just wait they'll look to push together the diffuser in a position where they'll have to see when the Habano goes through one will cover the doorway as they start to diffuse and you go through one on the young getting on a second there often known as the best team in the world never having that distinction until today pets are norm world champions they have to feel elated the most wins now of any team including a whole world fish taking the number four spot is cloud nines run at Worlds throughout most of League of Legends history South Korea has dominated the international competition while North America has been considered the weakest of the five major regions but this year cloud nine did what no NA team since season one had done two teams one from na and one from EU each striking down all of their opponents to arrive right here in this moment against each other in the biggest rivalry either region ever imagined na versus EU for the last spot in the World Championship final at one point a tenth place team in the summer split c9 clawed their way to Worlds main event only to be seeded into the group of death Wyant we knew it was coming but when you didn't see it in the actual graphic you're like all right it's sinking in this is not gonna be easy and just to make sure this should of course be cloud nine who will get up drawn as it was written in the stars into the group of death with Genji orangey and vitality but the boys in blue once again defined expectations by making it out in second place one toy already out Spence Karen's got a GA is about to lose fat this town is there keV a shirt gets the shield 5d3 who push continues lifts on the attempted gaol they're gonna shut down vitality and cloud nine pass the group of death and qualify for the quarterfinals and it was in the quarter-final where c9 made history by defeating the Africa freaks in dominant fashion to become the first North American team to make it to Worlds semi-finals in seven years yeah the objective doesn't go down that route still stands but tensions I got he wants to shut down in a huge shadow Tuesday's TLAs aim on that ultimate got to knock ups out of that press and that I think helped really allow that dive on victory now Saros monumental run at this year's Blizzcon takes the number three spot on our list since Blizzcon debut in 2005 south korea has dominated starcraft year after year and since the introduction of the Starcraft 2 World Championship Series in 2013 a non-korean has never made it to the grand final let alone won the event but in 2018 a young zerg player from Finland named cero was determined to change history and boy did he ever number one you can see the attack continuing to come forward he's banging at the gates of stances second base there is so much over here the core goes down Kadim stats are so strong keep in mind there is no or prism with this army so what you see is what you get seral continuing just around the few remaining immortals drones now being pulled as well the drones mean that this is serious Cyril knows he must hold right here right now another great storm but only three of us left over and it looks like Sarah will hold damn Jeff but you can really see but look at that every time an abduct goes off he kills another carrier to morph all the brood Lords starting to get picked off here as well though he comes in once more he can basically one-shot these carriers and I don't think there's any solution in four steps he's got to commend Cheryl Walker welded the airplane up steps and that is I know I know at the same yeah I mean when I came here I wasn't really a quick thing to win but at the same time it doesn't I go so yeah it is incredible at the runner-up spot on our list is cloud nines incredible run at the Boston major for a long time it seemed that a North American team would never achieve the status of major champion in csgo but cloud9 were hell-bent to keep the trophy on home soil well we're gonna find out what happens when the old guard runs up against a new school they've got to take on cloud 9 me and short of talk about we think this is the best iteration of going into their Grand Finals matchup against faze clan as the underdogs things looked rough early on the Guardian comes back in oh god idiot - there's still more to go though god I must plot the bomb the peeps come in but Guardian will not stop one more to go and Guardian yes then Oh but America's Heroes would not be denied and put on a showing that will be remembered for years to come oh he has 30 HP he's got no grenades he's holding a tight angle Guardian is so red not expecting it it's good to do this one lots of guys do fear nothing else is going on he's on [Applause] it's called a coma they came back all the way it is a dance and now they concede multiple ankle terrico he takes all the prices are down Dardenne on 11 HP rained peaks and he gets the angle now secure angle is there a diffuse for the CT side the non-indigent they're spamming the grenades they're touching the book and now go frame another pod that is trying to choose a gender no guardian has taken down guardian waits patiently as cloud my scepter push up [Applause] that is the most insane way so when I made up you just couldn't script a better story than oh geez run at TI 8 which is why it's the obvious choice to take the number one spot on our list [Applause] going into TI OG had been completely written off by just about everybody they still a lot of questions around urging yes right because like obviously he had the roster ripped apart by evil geniuses with a departure of Lyonesse for but no tail and his team of fresh-faced players defied everyone's expectations beating out some of the tournament's best teams [Applause] his rivals og with the fortitude to stick through it and persevering through seemingly unwinnable death he gets that fight with the stove will say taking the bad shot soldiers will be able to find the other but then fully load UD that suckers never two minutes they get Thompson total never to be so Dianna Anna can you do it head of his lifetime the moment that og lifted the aegis of champions is one that eSports fans across the world won't soon forget [Applause] friendship you're glad champions okay guys so that was our top ten height moments from 2018 now after watching all those incredible clips I am hype AF and if you want to get rid of

Yeah, but the C9 win was the more historic victory, being the take-down of the 2 time defending champions and the return of the RLCS trophy to North America for the first time since S1. But, for a single most hyped play, nothing will beat the goal the created the "THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE!" meme for quite some time.

[u/sweatybeard]

RLCS Season 5 GF was maybe the most hyped I've ever been but ok

[u/NotSevvi]

Great video, but surprised the season 5 grand finals wasn’t on this list 😢

[u/JoeG5]

I would agree with season 6 over season 5 if this were "Top 10 Hype Storylines from 2018". But as far as individual moments go, nothing in Rocket League and maybe even esports history is more hype than Jstn's goal.

[u/Uber-Brend]

There will never be a better individual moment than JSTN’s goal so this seems like the wrong choice.
