For me, it has to 100T Derrek's performance in LCQ 2022. Highest rating in that tournament (1.28) over the next highest trent (who was considered to be a prodigy), tenz, and several other great players on sova, fade, and breach. I don't know what happened, but he actually looked like the best VCT player in America for those 6 games. Not to mention how many clutches he won in that time period.

boostio somehow was the best igl in champs 23 by probably every single metric possible
had the entirety of vlr fooled, then he went to 100T and the rest is history
I like Kru vs Gambit 2021 Champs. Surprising because I still remember it to this day as one of the most memorable matches, its very good.
demon1 on EG surely from one of the bottom americas teams to winning champs
BLG vs NRG
first match, win 2-0, is this real?
second match, another win 2-0, holy shiiiiit
but lose 2-0 to DRX
edg run champs 2024
they only lost once and dominated in the upper bracket
id say surprising to most (not me ofc I called it b4 playoffs) bc they usually bombed out or never made any "good placements"
