2021 TOP MATCHES

Someone started a thread for recommended matches and I went too deep into it. Here is a list of matches that literally gave me adrenal rushes. I've linked the YouTube highlights for those who missed them and will be adding more entries as I recollect my experiences.

1. Team Liquid (EU) vs Sentinels (NA) : https://youtu.be/3yQWOI777Es
   The most awaited match of 2021, Scream made a good comeback and proved his dominance on reyna.

2. Version 1(NA) vs Nuturn (KR): https://youtu.be/ZW_s7Z79m8M
   I just loved nuturn in general, this is one of their craziest series.

3. Acend (EU) vs Gambit (CIS) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8y5vjRREQs
   Finals 2021.

4. Sentinels (NA) vs Kru (LA-S): https://youtu.be/zRrNGaveyQg
   A great display of teamwork.

5. Sentinels (NA) vs Envy (NA) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_HGjMLoyt8&t=1s
   NV's great run knocking out two of the strongest NA teams.

6. 100 Thieves (NA) vs Envy (NA) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa-qac1iMOk&t=1s
   NV's great run knocking out two of the strongest NA teams.

7. 100 Thieves (NA) vs Acend (EU) : https://youtu.be/ET7QohHeCB4
   One of the greatest comebacks.

8. 100 Thieves (NA) vs Version 1 (NA) : https://youtu.be/HLiBcE1Fja8
   Asuna drops 48 kills on a single map (WR).

9. Global Esports (SA) vs Velocity Gaming (SA) : https://youtu.be/oPHyHF64Naw
   The hype for this one was real (mostly among Indian fans), one of the best comebacks.

10. Kru (LA-S) vs Gambit (CIS) : https://youtu.be/RVyhBNRzU5c
    Kru at the peak of their career going against the best (at that time), a really close game.

11. 100 Thieves (NA) vs Gambit (CIS) : https://youtu.be/8WDVr4d9FXI
    Another 100T match, another great comeback.

12. Team Liqud (EU) vs Gambit (CIS) : https://youtu.be/M-cHPD8k3lk
    Little did liquid know they almost beat the forthcoming champions of the tournament they played to qualify for.

P. S. There is no order to the list.

I'll include that in top 10 most one-sided matches

thanks!

kru vs gambit for sure

just my opinion but the 5,6, and 8 games arent as hyped as the other ones. Like some of them had good maps but the other five the series itself was fantastic i think ones that should be added are SEN vs FNC, KRU vs GMB and KRU vs FNC.
plus a personal fav of mine is VS vs ACE but thats just me

i respect your list though good stuff man

in my opinion KRU vs Gambit is one of the greatest matches of Valorant history

Honestly this is just an awful list

Liquid vs Gambit stage 3 and Liquid vs V1 in iceland

100T vs ACE and GMB comeback matches were bangers

100t vs gambit biggest comeback ever ????

Heyheyehyehyehyrhyr [#9]

in my opinion KRU vs Gambit is one of the greatest matches of Valorant history

They had special moments and I mentioned them below. SEN vs FNC was a clean sweep and KRU vs FNC didn't get me off my chair so ehh.
Tysm for your appreciation :)

Honestly this is just an awful list

You want tsm vs girl kissers?

northeption vs full sense should be here

jblancard [#13]

100t vs gambit biggest comeback ever ????

the icebox match, yes.

Mrg_41 [#17]

northeption vs full sense should be here

I really want it here but idt there are many apac fans
for the curious georges : https://youtu.be/DZ63cdP3uCo

Mrg_41 [#17]

northeption vs full sense should be here

Yup ,V intense match it was

ciro [#11]

Liquid vs Gambit stage 3 and Liquid vs V1 in iceland

added tl vs gmb. imo tl vs v1 was meh.

dexter000111 [#12]

100T vs ACE and GMB comeback matches were bangers

you know 9-3 curse doesn't work against 100t ᕦ(ò_óˇ)

I also really like C9B vs Team Liquid purely because of C9 Leaf's AMAZING performance.

I really enjoyed FNC vs VS because of how good the gameplay actually was.

KRU vs Sentinels? IMO that match was really good considering it was a decider match and the way KRU played on split and just shocked everyone.

SpaceCow [#16]

You want tsm vs girl kissers?

No but I do want V1 v Nuturn, SEN v FNC, Kru v Gambit, V1 v Liquid, 100T v Gambit

rishu004 [#7]

kru vs gambit for sure

Yes

Furia vs Gamelanders (Masters 1 Regional Semifinals)
Almost quadruple OT, back to back clutches and all players just pressing W with insane aim.

I rarely watch vct matches from regions other than na, eu and apac so I have no idea about it. You can share the link to watch the match.

Kru impressed us all because we have seen sen at their best but for someone new the match wouldn't be very interesting.

Leaf's best performance so far no cap.
https://youtu.be/MdQyHdxAp04

Kru vs Gambit is the best match ever, I hear no reasons on that

Acend vs Team Liquid was insane, I didn't expect Acend to rekt TL.
It was just sad to watch ScreaM and friends. I hope next LAN's his teammates will perform well when it is needed.

Gambit vs KRU best match of the year IMO

x10 vs NV was an insane upset + a great game to watch, u should add that

SEN vs 100T
Where in the final round TenZ get 4k with sheriff is a good one.

SEN vs G2 was the most hyped match. Big fanbase, banners etc..

tennisfan [#26]

No but I do want V1 v Nuturn, SEN v FNC, Kru v Gambit, V1 v Liquid, 100T v Gambit

sen vs fnc was boring af, tl vs v1 was mid

I'll give you 2 of the most hyped up matches of TR scene,

BBL-FF Stage 3: Quintuple OT, match started in June ended in July

BBL-Liquid, Haven was insane.

That's it

For me, it was KRÜ vs Gambit. Acend vs Gambit wasn't hyped so much.

Vision Strikers vs F4Q

not only was it a significant match for the respective region, it was also a banger of a match and one of the most entertaining ones I have ever seen

btw I think you linked the wrong match for #2

i love envy but their 100t match was pretty mid. v1 liquid and gambit kru were some bangers

Vortexy [#43]

Vision Strikers vs F4Q

not only was it a significant match for the respective region, it was also a banger of a match and one of the most entertaining ones I have ever seen

+1, even if vs wasnt up to their standard its still a historic game for the storyline on both sides
vs being the undefeated giant where taking a map off them in scrims was considered an accomplishment, and f4q being streamers wanting to prove their skill

For me best match was at first Challengers 1 FPX vs Liquid
And imo must not be forgotten legendary bind FPX vs Forze

Acend vs heretics = GOAT level

Underrated match

Acend vs Heretics is the best grand final in val history so far imo

Dr_DoofenshmirtZ [#40]

sen vs fnc was boring af, tl vs v1 was mid

tl vs v1 was very hype considering it was the first na vs eu ever. i distinctly remember all the trolling that came from na fans lmao

100t vs acend is the match i will never forget in my life and gives me chills

Dr_DoofenshmirtZ [#40]

sen vs fnc was boring af, tl vs v1 was mid

idk about y'all but when v1 won that 2nd map i was fking standing up and cheering at like 2am in the morning

100t vs Acend and Sen vs KRU were the best matches of all time.

Johnny33 [#47]

ScreaM jett glory days

gutszeraa [#49]
