Here are the top 5 greatest moments in tournament gaming. To qualify these moments had to occur in a tournament witnessed by others and of course it had to be recorded. Enjoy!

5. Condition Zero: 3D Dave "Moto" Geffon versus 4 SK-Gaming at WCG 2004 Finals






4. Quake III: Fatal1ty is down 0-8 in this match against AIM at QuakeCon 2002
What will he do? Pay attention to the ridiculous rail shot at 1:36.





3. Halo: Combat Evolved: Saiyan takes down the The Dream Team (TDT) at AGP 4
Pay attention to the top-left quarter of the 4-way split screen. "Oh my god! Someone stop him!"





2. StarCraft: SlayerS_'BoxeR' SCV Rush
The most famous rush in StarCraft history occurred when Boxer brings his Space Construction Vehicles in an all or nothing early rush against [NC] Yellow in this Korean tournament finals match.





1. Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Daigo Umehara versus Justin Wong at EVO 2004
This is a famous video, but damn is it still amazing and the crowd reaction is the best.

I hate when people link that starcraft clip. It's not even top 50 in terms of good starcraft rush games. There was a game 2 days ago thats about 50x better than that one even:

rofl goon range + shield battery nice 1. though if he abandoned the proxy early, built scvs and teched after taking out that many probes + gate pylon, maybe he could have won. maybe he was too all-in? dunno im an sc scrub.

He was definitely on tilt. If you're in such a situation and getting outmicro'd so hard, I think you rage more than thinking about a proper strategy :P

RiP past Team3D.

Dominator retired and is working at a bank,Ksharp only came back to Counterstrike for Source and CGS and since CGS died he plays WOW only now.Ƃ  Shaguar doesn't play cs anymore. Moto is working some place and doesn't look like he will come back. Method and Volcano went to JMC.Ƃ  Also Torbull is running ESEA so he doesn't have time to manage 3D.Ƃ  (CGS still also has rights to the 3D team name)Ƃ  Doesn't look like they will ever be the same.

<3 that moto clutch.Ƃ  /cry

Wish i knew what happened at the street fighter video, im assuming he had to time some difficult countercombo on it? It seemed that the crowd cheered when he parried the first attack so i suppose only one combo movement had to be done? Loved the crowd reaction

Nope, read what craptor mentions about it.Ƃ 

http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/I-thought-it-was-the-brakes/Favorite-Gaming-Moments-of-All-time-3

(why this list looks familiar)

"This was the semi final for the evo 2004 SF3 tournament. with the match
all tied at one, the loser would be going to the lower bracket and the
winner on to the grand final. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Umehara
Things to note, he wasn't blocking the attack, he would of died from
taking reduced damage from blocking. He performed a full parry of 15
attacks from a special combo, and chun-li's specials are ridiculously
fast. He only has about 4 frames to parry each attack which is about
.15 seconds."

He parried every single attack in Chun-Li's special at about 5% health remaining, and countered with his own special. Each single attack in a special move must be parried individually. In Street Fighter, and fighting games in general, it is near impossible to overcome a gap in Life that huge.

Watching these clips make me wish my talent (lol) wasn't wasted on a stupid game like WoW. But hey, at least I'm decent at SC.

That counter-strike clip is cz, not 1.6. There are also much better clips for 1.6. Bullseyes 1v3 with the game coming down to him 1v3 with a DEAGLE against 4K for 20,000 bucks and he pulls it off. That halo1 clip is also fairly average, a team finally beating StK at a lan event, Team FFA to be specific, would get my vote, or zyos's huge comback in the finals of mlg dallas against Walshy.

That counterstrike clip seems like it'd be interesting without the terrible music and ADD editing, but its hard to tell.
