Most Iconic Moments in LoL Esports History | The Ultimate Montage Pt. 2
A video about the most iconic plays and memories of League of Legends Esports
All footage belongs to Riot Games or the corresponding esports organizations.
This should not be construed as the perfect objective selection of moments. I tried to find a balance between the amount of moments included, the video length, the diversity of regions, events and players. Also the approach of the video is not to show the best plays ever, but the moments that are often quoted, had a bigger impact on League of Legends esports as a whole and are remembered by a big part of the community. Furthermore this video is obviously biased as I have the "EU perspective". You might think some moments are missing and that is okay. Everyone has their own perception, this video shows mine.

Thank you all for your acknowledgement and feedback! During the editing of those two videos I was convinced that they were good, but I was not confident that they would be that successful. I came up with this idea and started working on it over a year ago and I didn't expect this outcome. As many of you have commented there are some moments that I missed, especially in Part 2. I knew that I could not satisfy everyone and at some point I just accepted that I could not make it perfect. In hindsight there are some moments where I feel bad not including them. Spontaneously I tried to edit the project and add up some moments but the video would become even longer and I realized the changes would not fit easily into the flow. Otherwise I like the video, so I gave up making a new version. However, if I ever make a 3rd part (in several years or so) I plan to include some of the moments I missed this time.

Hey Pakli! We as a community cannot understate how beautiful this compilation was. As much as we may all have differing opinions on which moments were the most iconic in LoL Esports, this is as close to perfection that we've gotten so far. Excellent music choices, informative & time-accurate graphics, all of it. I'm glad to have seen such a good summation of the hype we as fans all had over the years, watching the best players go at it. Can't wait to see your updated take on this one before Worlds 2024 next year (if you decide to make it). Take care and get some much earned rest!

Same here! I'm 29 now and as unfun LoL has become for me (haven't played in like 5 years), I love thinking back to those times. Watching LoL esports with friends was such a blast
Watching that DRX miracle run was the most insane thing I've seen. The storyline, the outplays, the small tragedies, it all came together so amazingly. Absolute chills just thinking about it
Crazy how Ruler catching Faker almost feels incomplete without Fakers revenge in 2023
what a fking video man i really really enjoyed both parts and both showed how the history of the most hype video game esports have been in the past and every year is just better than the other i really really cant wait for worlds 2023 i just hope it will be as competitive as the last one

18:55 I remember watching this live on stage. The absolute goosebumps when the casters scream when G2 are ending
Zeka becoming God out of nowhere in 2022. One of the best Worlds performances of all time from groups to Finals. Dude was insane.
the amount of intense moments 2022 had is insane. truly the best worlds tournament ever. The entire DRX run from being 6th in lck to 5 intense bo5 to secure the last 4th seed ticket, then playoffs to worlds title defeating EDG(reigning world champs), GenG (LCK winners) and T1(top most group in the world) will remain close to my heart forever. The story, the emotions, Deft in his 10th year, it all came full circle. i think this yr fell quit short compared to last yr, idk if it was the swiss stage format instead of playoffs or just one-sided wins. Also T1 was overwhelmingly strong against lpl teams. fakers azir ult into Ruler & reclaiming the title was historic tho.
2022 Worlds was rather messy in terms of game quality but, it made for one of the most unforgettable Worlds experiences of all-time. It was the true essence of playing League. Even the best of the best players were missing Smites, making miracle plays, and it was just a beautiful display of this one of a kind game. I cannot wait to see what 2023 brings us!
Even though, some moments were missed, this is to be expected for a game running that long with that many games. These videos are still fantastic and maybe the missed moments open up the possibility for a part 3 :)

Imagine missing G2 vs RNG
2022 Worlds could be considered the "generational bridge" when new players were coming in and veterans were all retiring, which made the most chaotic, yet exciting series ever.
Great compilation. Of course there are things you missed; it'd be impossible not to. But there aren't that many! And it looks like you chose good quality sources for most of these clips, unlike a lot of compilations I've seen. I only wish the timing had worked out so we could've gotten some of the crazy Worlds 2023 plays in here... but of course, if you waited, then I'd just be saying that about the next tournament, lol.
The (now second) most iconic moment was Faker's Zed showing how much individual skill and sheer talent could be expressed in this game. Beaten like 10 years later by Deft and DRX, showing the peak of teamwork, perseverance and hard effort.
You forgot Canyon's Nidalee gapping Peanut's Hecarim in LCK Playoffs
This game is amazing, i had ton of emotions and memories coming up watching the video. Worlds are now close and i can say that this is my favorite moment of the year !

I think that this video lacks G2 vs RNG Worlds 2018. Maybe not the whole series but game 5 Perkz performence. RNG were favourites to win whole tournament and G2 in 2018 were just 3rd European seed. (They didn't even win any game in playoffs in summer playoffs!).

Thank you thank you thankyou! You have no idea how nostalgic this is. Truly the greatest esport alive
crazy to think Ive been watching this game for 9 years. so many good memories, no many hype moments. cheers and hope for a lot lot more

Honestly watching these highlights showed me how incredible LCK and LPL teams get at worlds. like yes we got the regular split and all but when it comes to Worlds its like they go super sayjan but not only 1 team no every single team opf that region. Its crazy how they do that
One of the best league related videos ive seen recently. Good work man.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Such many special moments over the years in the game we know, love & hate. Very well done video.
Always wanted a montage like this
2022 Worlds = Greatest Of All Time The Best E-Sports Drama without a script
This is my childhood, thank you for making such an amazing video, keeps giving me goose bumps. Also makes me feel glad about playing league, even though the game sucks nowadays XD
that showmaker swain game was something else, he was on another level that game
Gosh I felt so bad for Faker when they got 3-0’d at worlds in 2017. I remember not being able to comprehend that outcome
Worlds 2022 was one of the best worlds IMO not because korea won but because every iconic play in world 22 out bested every other world's championships. And was one of the Years that we see one of History making that even UNDERDOGS can make MIRACLES happen! Also it peaked more viewership than every worlds by far.
Thanks for this. Great compilation!
Good 2 part video, if you decide to make a 3rd one of all the recommendations people have given i have a few: - Game 5 G2 vs RNG Perk's Leblanc deleting 2 people at top and the Quickshot comment on it. - 2017 GAM vs FNC Nocturne level 6 ulting to a botlane that was not even level 4 yet. -G2 vs RNG warding Tresh's lantern, making it unable for Uzi to take it. -YamatoCannon's speech for Europe at the Mid Season Invitationals

2022 is Faker's Infinity War and 2023 is his Endgame
Really good stuff. You made a great video be proud. I had shivers watching it
DRX had better meta read that's all and just barely winning in all bo5s. This year just shows how lucky they were to even play in worlds last year. Personally this years T1 run is much more impressive, they destroyed every team they faced. Pure dominance!
The 10:19 legendary "let's go boys" from Deficio give me chiils

I assume itd be hard to edit but the 5 galio picks in a row for faker in 2017 semis
As an EU fanboy, 2019 G2 was something to behold. Apart from the worlds final they looked like one of the most dominant teams that year. 18:55 shows that perfectly. I remember all the analysis videos of how perfect they played this fight and how good the communication and teamwork was between them. Only for Wunder to say he and the team had no clue what was happening, and for the comms to be released and prove he was telling the truth. Hope EU can find some form like they did that year. 2019 was EU's best year, even FNC pulling the cat out the bag and having the best botlane that year, especially when everyone thought Rekkless was done for.
Watched the two videos. Absolutely amazing, thank you for making this.
im so glad i got to be there for all of it.
DRX WINNING WORLDS IS THE MOST ICONIC SHT
Great choice. But I was hoping to see MVP Max´s quadra kill on sion support vs KT. A quadra kill for support, by a team that was behind all other teams in bracket and in a game where they were behind aswell. insane!

FAKER SHOCKWAVE. Theres always been so much hype about him people can't even see those ults were set up by the support
NA got so disgustingly snuffed in this, no 2021 miracle week 2. No 3-0ing of Afreeca. Counted maybe 4-5 NA moments? I know we don't win tournaments but we've had some hype moments as well.
Tbh it was a really good video, music and editing!
this is more than just a game at this point
MAN, 2022 gotta be the best worlds lmao GEN vs DRX was a fucking trip and the last second inhibitor spawn just breaks your fucking soul. And the whole narrative between DRX and T1 is just fucking perfect, out of a damn movie
Faker's Zed outplay is the most iconic moment. Faker with the huge play the QSS.
I'm so Happy Worlds is back, I've loved every year.
I swear to god, FNC with Reignover and Huni staying 1 or 2 more years would've been a powerhouse of a team. At least it would've been SUPER interesting to see! They were so good at that time.

MSF vs SKT back then sent shivers till today man. Ignar was a beast
Amazing videos, I started watching in season 1, goosebumps seeing it all again.
I don't doubt that Faker is the GOAT, but still seeing so many plays of "him" that are actually like 80% the rest of the team setting it up. Like that shockwave wouldn't have been nearly as impactful if the enemy team hadn't already been stunlocked by Nami and Naut R. Same with that one play where he hits it in mid, but it was only possible to to Rakan 5-man engage etc. I think the other players go underappreciated just because Faker pressed a button.
