The Longest Games In Esports History
Ойындар
For most players, being stuck in a match for anything longer than 40 minutes already gets annoying and exhausting. But imagine what happens when a match reaches one hour, two hours, three hours, or even days.
This is the story of some of the longest games ever played in esports history.

saaaaame hahahahahaha good days
there is actually a longer starcraft 2 game: ZhuGeLiang vs Lillekanin went on for 4h 10min (won by ZhuGeLiang), it was so long that one of the casters decided to make pancakes during the game. this also happened fairly early during an open qualifier for the world championship series, so the schedule was... quite delayed. though it's also worth mentioning that back then (also when the firecake vs mana was played), the in-game time went faster than real time. so the 4h 10min game was "only" a bit over 3 hours of real time.

The glitches in the DOTA 2 game remind me of the one braindead strategy in Dead by Daylight where the killer's goal, yes their intended win condition, was to stall for TWO HOURS (or until the survivors made a bad enough mistake to throw you the game, or they gave up and let themselves die) which was when the server discontinued the connection and killed all the survivors. For non-DBD players, a DBD match is typically 10-20 minutes. A long one might be 35

Tell me you have no clue about Moba's (hate the term honestly, but still), without telling me you have no clue about Moba's. 15:8 at 93 minutes means there are massive, boring downtimes of endless lane and jungle farming. Look at the DotA example here, 36:29 at 53 minutes, 109:66 at 200 min.
It was so funny that a friend of mine that knows I play AoE sent me an article about that Rubenstock game one day after I had played with him.
I HEAR THE OMEGA STRIKERS SOUNDTRACK IN THE BACK (this alone has earned my sub)
if rubbenstock vs andre isn't here you missed a big opportunity
What a legend, saw that AoE2 game in other channel and it's just amazing. They're truly men of focus, commitment and sheer will xD
This is brilliant. Suggestion: make a video of the most kills in shortest time across the same games featured in this video. For example: WorldEdit's world record 37 frags in ~18 rounds vs Echo Fox. I remember the casters going "I'm not even going to get excited unless they kill WorldEdit".
The only gripe that I have is that the league one is kinda wrong seeing as we had a series that went 8 hours, earlier this year
3:00 i was happy that i was hearing Omega strikers OST game music it felt so good for the missed opportune game
those particle glitches in the dota 2 game happened as a result of some sort of memory leak or overflow, triggered from how those specific heroes in that game had a lot of spells that generated particle graphics. i doubt anyone had seen that glitch before that game, because matches were never meant to last that long, and even if they last long, its no guarantee the right heroes are picked for the particle bug to occur. This glitch really enhances the aesthetics and legend of that one match
Ornn was one of my favorites in league when he came out, so I remembered how his old passive worked. A 70 minute game where one of them doesn't have the Ornn upgrade made me as mad as those announcers were.
Excellent video as usual! Also, I see you snuck in some Omega Strikers music! 😉
In case your wondering the music from the leauge of legends section is from Omega Strikers, man I wish that game didn't die.
hilarious video, great stuff

I was there when C9 VS SFZ happened. There were many reasons for the long game. EternalEnvy's C9 was quite bad at finishing a winning match. C9 had another game again VP before that which last more than 2 hours. The meta of that time was picking sniper. He was really good at holding high ground.
“The commentators were the first to go” killed me lmao
2 funny things in that dota2 video. 1 ) The game was still on source 1 engine, a buggy POS, many games if they were longer than 90 mins started bugging. 2) OD Pixel was on his debug there, he got famous for that game, where he got 2 titles - rapgod and -hypegod.

Reminds me of a Halo Wars I played that was 3v3 I think we started it at like 10pm and didn't end up finishing until like 5am in the morning and I had to go to school that morning lmfao I remember we only won because I switched from strictly Air units to Infantry units because I had spare resources and that ended up beefing our offensive attack.
did i just hear omega strikers music in that video? blessed game
As a dota player seeing a 94 minute LOL game with only 24 kills is wild to me. That can't be enjoyable to watch

The JAGW and SKT T1 matches weren't even surprising. Teddy hitting 6 items and brute forcing a win with pure mechanics late game was their core gameplan. It was what they did. And it was amazing.

The longest recorded set in smash history is superboomfan vs. gerson from smash 64 if i remember correctly. It was like almost 2 hours long,m mainly due to the fact that there was no timer, and it was played on hyrule castle in a matchup where approaching wouldve meant a certain stockloss. which is why game one took almost an hour. i think the longest timed recorded smash match still goes to john numbers vs. sinji at waypoint warriors 1 in 2020. Wii Fit vs. Pacman. Both Characters which are somewhat hit and run, and normally could rack up massive damage once they get in. In that MU though, you have to play them very defensively, which led to several timeouts.
"Much like the Dota 2 match we just talked about, the commentators were the 1st to go". idk why that made me laugh as much as it did xaxaxaxa.. Seriously though, much love to all the commentators out there, that shit ain't easy!
