The Top 10 Zero IQ Moments in Esports History

okay guys from time to time we've all had one of those moments you know one of those moments when all the hard work in the game is done you've clutched the round already you've made it to ot you've almost completed the comeback and all you gotta do is take one fairly minor minuscule step over the finish line and it's all done and then when you need it the most your brain completely shuts off it happens to the best of us even the pros and that's why on top tens today we wanted to take a look back at those cerebral mishaps that while deeply horrifying for the players they happen to are still pretty funny for us here are the top 10 times players brains turn totally off starting off our list is the unfortunate moment when kusta's brain didn't just shut down it totally baited everyone watching the match he's like oh better plug everything back in back to the guys one more time into the simulation now kusta is no stranger to making some weird plays shall we say but this moment tops everything on match point against red reserve clg had the map in the bag so much so that mike laylee unplugged his gear and clg went on to whit wait what they will pick this up 16-12 they win out the series in a 2-1 fashion it was lengthy but it was no no no oh there was no time no yep that's kusta defusing without a kit and to make matters worse his team had one you saw they even left the server michael elliott rusty disconnected he was good what just happened his brain shut off the bomb blew up and red reserve won the map in overtime coming up next is the kind of brain fart that only a smash god could produce he said it's a winner man uh yeah dude congrats to pbu for taking out mango and ending his reign of terror there are only so many people who can be so good at a game get so brain dead at the same time and mango is that type of player we'll see what happens mango lucky west balls vs pb rocky does sound like it should be good for for soccer right that's the match wait was that it in a literal second mango forgot he was playing melee he just fell off the stage and that was the match okay well there it is qvu takes out mango our number eight entry is a lesson on why you should always wait a few seconds before popping off at evo 2015's guilty gear top 8 what she gave was sure he'd just beaten ogawa to advance to the winner's semi-finals it was a tense close match and he felt like he deserved a good pop off problem was that he didn't actually win the match so smart he couldn't burst because of the super but will she get dixie oh my god what she had thought it was over and stood up and ogawa gave him no remorse that is exactly what happens don't have a celebration with papa oh my god remember folks win first pop off ogawa won the semifinal match eventually won the evo tournament as i said he won the tournament yeah the world's biggest mistake led him to winning the tournament taking the number seven spot on our list is the no brain moment that lost an lcs final sven knows he messed up and now it is on his shoulders to make up for it the finals of any major tournament is a very high pressure situation if you want to make it through you need quick thinking amazing reactions a sharp mind and a little bit of luck unfortunately for zven his brain was a little too smooth in game five of the 2019 spring finals a fight that goes the right way will push people down the question is can they find those margins can they find that opening so far tsm has outmaneuvered no quick silver sash he is down he is shut down what is he doing to baron he saw liquid prepping for baron and probably ran right into them throwing away his life the game the series and the tournament all in one unfortunate play when sven is under pressure there he may have cost his team this series it's been sitting alone inside his base the action is gonna fall the rest of his team is gone team liquid tie the record it's three lcs titles in a row they are the super team [Applause] okay it's one thing to turn your brain off during a high pressure situation but turning your brain off during the draft now that is the kind of moment that deserves the number six spot on this list during the international 2019 alliance were locked in an elimination match against rng and during the draft they completely forgot to lock in their pick i will say if i'm a storm i'd love to be in a situation where i'm against the lash as they're going to take the gyrocopter for themselves so this is going to be an offlane void that is true something that we definitely did not expect oh my god are you serious whatever did this just happen after that blunder alliance did their best to pull through but it just wasn't enough they were eliminated from the tournament and it was all because they stopped thinking at one critical important moment 43 minutes into the game we have ourselves a match where both sides really they had their chance right they had their game plans things started to come online obviously the disappointment here for alliance at the halfway point on our list is the most infamous mistake you can make in overwatch a c9 well i mean they had plenty of people within range of the point but just nobody touched it so named for cloud9's history of hilarious mistakes a c9 is a verb that describes when a team bails on the point in overtime and lets the other team capture it this is one of those rare moments when your whole team goes no brain nano boosts use they're gonna put that on to gods it looks like he's got the whole hog there's a pulse bomb going in and a couple kills mendo does get the one onto donghyun going on to that and it looks like afrika blue did they just not touch the point i guess not and before you ask yes this brain dead play has been pulled off by more teams than just c9 but the emp is going to look to shut down luffy does have that transcendence ready to go emp going to come out and we'll have to get a replay on that one uh yep please what happened there i i think that there was a big old charlie niner oh young gin oh my god that was actually a c9 that is a big old c9 smurf is down master is removed it's a one for stunned it takes a special kind of brain to turn off on match point in a grand final but canadian pulled it off which is why this play takes our number four spot it's the nerves it's gotta be the nerves i mean i think we all know that eg's rainbow six team has developed a reputation for well throwing the fuser in a position where they'll have to see when the habana goes through one will cover the doorway as they start to defuse hang he goes for one on the young can he go the second they're off the known as the best team in the world never having that distinction until today but this is perhaps the most brutal throw of all on game point against team empire canadian decided to hold white stairs with his secondary pistol and for some reason he peaked shepard will watch that big window and here comes the tension here comes the push down on white stairs waiting for the vault on in his canadian will he be able to secure the kill he sees the tracers go no scyther will win the fight he'll inch his way on up geo's gonna be next in line but this could be a tough shot and empire could wrestle away the round there's geo just waiting he doesn't pull the trigger he sees it he pops up oh no geo you gotta hit your shots young will be the last one left he was so important for faze he turns his back he's got the pistol but shepard will deny the comeback from eg on that round of course he died for that one and to make things worse eg lost the series canadian had to be wondering where his brain went at that moment coming in at number three we have one of league of legends best players going completely no brain on the world's biggest stage reckless he tries to go for the play he goes to the flash and that ends in his death playing in the group stage of worlds 2017 fnatic were matched up against immortals in what should have been a relatively easy match but fnatic were losing and this play goes a long way in showing you why it might just be a huddle up in defensive here maybe with the 45 seconds on baron oh the story that's the ultimate though he's the flashback oh no he doesn't get knocked up he's done everybody's taking him down again he gets out of the way but the rest of the daddy there is this late in the game those are the plays that make the definitive statement rekkles had a little too much blood in his eyes and he flashed into his own death leading to a quick loss for fnatic this is a disaster for fanatic and then i'm trying to get something back only one option left i don't think they can do the 650 interrupts they're going to lose they're going to lose fanatic they can't commit to this ift they're going to win the games are exposed this could be bad news the touch are taking the runner-up spot on our list is a moment that will make you physically recoil an embarrassment you have got to be kidding me that's how that ended oh my goodness i don't know what to think right now at the rlcs season 8 world championship renegades and veloce were 9 minutes into overtime renegades had to win to stay in the tournament back down sick he puts it away cassio could win the game but comey has him blocked and now back in front of the box towards someone you're kidding absolute tragedy for renegades torsos goes for the save to keep his team alive but for reasons beyond human comprehension sicki puts the ball right back into renegade's net giving veloce the game and sending renegades packing they're through to day three and renegades absolute heartbreaker one they will not be thinking about they will not forget for a long time they will hopefully they'll stop thinking about it in four years or something my goodness this honestly just hurts to watch taking the top spot on our list is the one the only one g oh my goodness there's that oh summit what's up reddit you had it the infamous 1g is not only the prime example of a player's brain switching off during a match it's also the most memorable you guys know the story by now during dreamhack open austin 2016 summit 1g had secured the last kill on cutler and won the map for splice or so everyone thought and now it's summit in the 1v1 to try and close this out against bugley buggy playing it aggressively know that it's gonna clutch it and splice will close out map number one sixteen to eleven oh wait what what happened oh no summit no oh that is uh heartbreaking and just like that a meme was born summit now lives in infamy in cs history forever all thanks to one smooth brained play well guys that about does it for the top 10 times players brains
