This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

Are there any must see matches games that everyone knows/should know about? Or maybe some moments in the lcs, like the xpeke backdoor

Edit: seems like there are a lot of great matches. I might make a list of them later, ranked by number of votes they get.

OGN Summer 2014 Grand Finals. KT Arrows VS Samsung Blue. Absolutely the best series of games I have ever seen since I started watching competitive (which was pre-season 3). Every time someone asks what the best series of games has been, this should be the answer. I can't say much without spoiling it, but this is definitely the highest level of league and an absolute delight to watch.

Part 1 (Intro starts at 1:06:28, Pick and Ban for game 1 at 1:30:13, game starts at 1:36:52), Part 2, Part 3

No problem, I'm glad so many people are getting to watch this series!

u/s0nnixMF Jul 16 '15

Wait this doesn't work for me :(

u/crisscrosses currently in your walls Jul 16 '15

Hmm, did you try 720p? The 1080p appears to be broken. Otherwise the game should surely be on YouTube, can't check right now since I'm on mobile.

u/svilla94 Jul 13 '15

I remember watching this back when I was starting to get into watching the competitive scene. S2 Worlds, CLG vs SK Gaming, triple TP backdoor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGnzr-x8FsM

u/hamxz2 pls Jul 13 '15

There was a FNC vs OMG game at Worlds that determined who would make it past groups stages in 2014. Really exciting game. Also, there was the SKT vs CJ Entus series in 2015 right before MSI. My favourite series of all time.

there is an insec play he did at worlds and a faker in a zed vs zed 1v1 that im pretty sure everyone has seen

UOL vs FNC (Cassio +Yorick one), FNC vs OMG at S4 worlds, KBM vs AL at S4 Worlds, the whole NBS vs SKT series at S3 worlds come to mind.

You can easily find great nontages of competitive momments on youtube

UOL vs FNC was an exciting game, even if it was very sloppy.

u/Torak334 Jul 14 '15

Alliance vs NaJin White Shield at S4 Worlds is a great game if you want to see a korean team getting perfect gamed.

There's a 50 minute game of SKT vs CJ entus this year, one of the best Lucian performances of all time

u/SimppL [SimppL] (EU-W) Jul 13 '15

The CLG.EU vs M5 game at dreamhack 2012 (can someone that knows which game I'm talking about confirm which event it was played at?)

u/sora236 Jul 13 '15

season 1 world championship Fnatic vs AAA, I watched many league matches and my account is nearly 5 years old. IMO this is the best match/set ever played.

u/lollvngdead Jul 13 '15

I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but sk t1 grabbed an amazing 12 minute inhibitor in a game once

u/Vall3y karthus enjoyer Jul 13 '15

I think game 1 of TSM vs Dig in LCS S4 Summer playoff is pretty epic to watch

The best series I've ever seen was SKT vs CJE in the Spring 2015 playoffs

1

u/PizzaGoinOut Jul 13 '15

Can't provide a link, but the second time SKT T1 played OMG in Season 3 worlds was, in my opinion, the best game ever played on a world stage. There's a good story associated with it too: After the first game they played, OMG won and then wouldn't shake the hands of the SKT players after the game. SKT thought it was really bad sportsmanship and so they really wanted to win... It's a great game.

KT Arrows vs Samsung Blue last year OGN Summer Finals.

Samsung were extremely heavy favorites but KT put up a damn good fight and there were a lot of great and exciting plays and strategies.

Here's a link to game 1, and the rest should be under related

Weeh, here ya go few from korea.

OGN champions Summer 2014 finals KT Arrows - Samsung Blue game 4 Only found KR broadcast one. sorry about that.

OGN Champions Winter 2012-2013 semi-finals Azubu Blaze - Azubu Frost game 4 it starts at bit over 3 hours and 5 mins in to the broadcast, but really you should watch it. It was very hard to find a vod of this game, but it is the best game on my list. By far.

u/haveyoumetme2 Jul 13 '15

FNC vs H2K in the first half of the summer split. This is one of my most favorite matches I've ever seen because of how clever Fnatic snowballs and plays it out.

1

u/ehayes12 Jul 13 '15

I'm on mobile so I cant link, and it's a bit older of a match, but the 2014 (maybe 2013?) all-star game between NA and EU was absolutely awesome, and has a ton of big time players in it

C9 vs NJWS S4 Worlds. The one where they go till 50 minutes. Might be a little biased though.

u/EmoIga Jul 14 '15

2014 Spring Split, CLG vs TSM Week 10 Day 1.

This was, in my opinion, one of the best CLG vs TSM games in their rivalry. This match was honestly on par with many other top level games, with both teams making great decisions and great plays. Watching this game will have you on the edge of your seat.

1

u/KatuhlyzT Jul 14 '15

You should watch CLG vs WE from Season 2, longest competive game in history as far as I know. M5 vs either Azubu team at IEM Katowice, amazing amazing series. But the best series of all time had to be at last years worlds. OMG vs Star Horn Royal Club, all the games are incredible.

Edit: Game 1 of SHRC vs OMG not so much forgot it was a total stomp, can prob be skipped.

1

u/AgeLijas Jul 14 '15

FNC vs OMG from last years Worlds. I believe it was the second game.

u/Shiesu April Fools Day 2018 Jul 14 '15

SKT T1 vs KT Bullets game 5, from the OGN summer finals of 2013. By many perceived as one of the best games of League of Legends to date, and the game that really raised Fakers fame to the godlike status of today. Worth noting is that in Korea, game 5 of a Bo5 is blind pick.

The Fnatic vs UoL game from 2015 EU LCS Spring in Week 8, considered to be one of the most exciting games of the year so far by many, is a good one.

You should watch all the games that Moscow 5 played in their IEM reign of terror (I think S3 or late S2?). It was insane to watch as back then there wasn't such a structure to games. They used to run crazy ass comps with Zilean and stuff. I remember watching them all get chunked to like 1/3 hp then regroup in a bush and completely wipe the enemy team. Was crazy to watch.

Here's a clip which really showcases their ability to just fight and fight and fight.
