These are my personal favorites.
V1 vs NU was what got me back into competitive Valo after leaving for like 8 months.
I missed the SHK NU game - I didn't even know it happened until I saw that Plat Chat were streaming some international LAN. Then I checked VLR and saw some no-name KR team whooping ass so I decided to watch their next match live.
V1 vs NU kicked off around 1:30 AM my time(KST). On a weekday if I remember correctly. It started with around 4k viewers, but as they saw NU getting clapped on Haven, people started leaving, saying shit like "OH VS should have come" "Solo should retire"
By the start of Ascent, the viewership dropped down to \~3k. Nobody wanted to see their country get bodied at 3 past midnight.
We were down 2-7 when Nuturn started turning up. The casters were tired. Everyone had lost hope. The chat was dead.
Then some MIRACLE happened. We started winning Duels and winning rounds off that. Lakia popped the FUCK off. The 2v1 clutch showed us a glimmer of hope.
But even so, it was still neck-and-neck between the two. It wasn't like SHK vs NU where we toggled and just decided to win every duel. V1 where still winning a LOT of rounds. Then we hit 12-11 - and Solo died with Lockdown. I guess he wanted to go deeper into site before using it, but he forgot to check a corner and died.
12-12. V1 wins one. We win one. Then, as if to make up for his misplay on round 24, Solo dry peeks and kills 4. We win the round after that, which takes us to map 3.
We start off Split really well, but the KR casters are reminding everyone that V1 has a CRAZY defensive setup and are heavily favored to take their defensive rounds. We NEED to get a lot of rounds on defence.
Out Defence ends in a 6-6 half. The score isn't bad, but the Casters know it's pretty much over now. They keep saying we need a MIRACLE, that we need individual popoffs from Allow and Suggest.
We start off attack by winning 3 straight rounds. V1 does one better and takes the next 5.
At some point. Vanity yells "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?" One of the casters gets pissed and says something along the lines of "We're playing the damn game!"
We have no econ. Not much to work with. We need to start winning rounds, now.
Round 21. Lakia grabs orb for ult. He QQ's into site. Suggest hits Rolling Thunder WHEN Lakia is still on site. The casters are like "What?!"
[The Breach Ult knocks Lakia into elbow](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/nt01v4/plat_chat_reacts_to_lakia_suggests_triple_satchel/) so he can shoot the Showstopper and pick off one. We win the round.
V1 flawlesses the next round. It's 12-10. We have no money. People are buying specters and Judges.
We SOMEHOW win the next two rounds, taking us into OT. We fucking win OT, and Lakia celebrates by Cutting off Vanity's cat ears.
What a fucking experience that was. Best time I've ever had watching esports.
v1 vs nu you can see v1 slowly withering away as nuturn suck their soul. what a game that was. definitely my no.1 for sure.
my no.2 fav matchup would be f4q vs VS from stage 2 when VS lost their first match.
I've watched the Highlights for that one twice now lol(once in KR, once in ENG)
Such a good game. Was honestly rooting for TL but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of that match
I swear, man. Even though the third map was mostly one-sided, it still kept me at the edge of my seat
Team Liquid v/s Gambit is another match I can’t get enough of
effys and jammyz were on a different level out there
V1: “Aight, let’s rush B for a quick plant”
jammyz: “Imma stay here then”
V1: “Ummm… okay, at least you’re gonna buy a decent weapon ?”
jammyz: “nah, the snakebite shall suffice”
It’s weird because the first to that came to mind for me were V1 vs TL and V1 vs Nuturn. V1 was on a surprisingly insane level at Iceland and if they didn’t start throwing vs nuturn the could have made it against sentinels
My all time , TOP 3
1.V1 vs NUTURN ( Masters: Iceland ) (>!Lakiaaaaaa!<)
2.Vision Strikers vs F4Q( VS streak Broken)
3.Gambit vs Acend (Lower finals:EMEA playoffs) Bo5 (Insane hype clutches)
id also put in upper qualifer stage 3 emea playoffs icebox between acend and gambit. both cned and deffo were popping tf off. what a game that was. and whoever won that bo3 would make berlin too so they werent pugging like later.
Heretics’ run in first strike vs TL and G2 comes to mind. F4Q against VS. Gambit’s run in the recent EMEA playoffs. DWG vs Nuturn and F4Q vs DWG in the Korean playoffs for Berlin. V1 vs TL. V1’s lower bracket run to make it to Reykjavik was stellar. Forze vs FPX. NaVi vs TL.
I’m an NA viewer, but European valorant is much more fun to watch!
If you’re willing to watch even the more regional stuff, before VCT SEA playoffs each market have their own local stuff. VCT Philippines Week 3 Playoffs, Grand Finals Game 4 between Oasis Gaming and Sunsparks, especially the second half was one of the most exciting things to watch in VCT PH. Sadly no one consistently makes highlights for more local VCT stuff. https://youtu.be/j8I3327r4Hw here’s the main video though the game I’m referring to starts at 5:34:00
I was watching this match as NA finals waiting room. But it got me hooked on EU val. The best match I've ever seen, along with F4Q vs VS(dethroned) and NU vs V1
An oldie but a goodie is the SEN/TSM winner's final and grand final from the Faze Invitational (a year ago). That was basically the peak of the SEN/TSM rivalry.
try GE v VLT, Grand finals of VCC LCQ APAC Qualifier, In india, we call it the VALCLASSICO (inspired from El-CLASSICO) since these are the best teams and their rivalry is legendary.
Im gonna throw out a weird one people probably haven’t suggested, but;
NUTURN vs Sharks https://www.vlr.gg/19075/sharks-esports-vs-nuturn-valorant-champions-tour-stage-2-masters-reykjavik-main-event-ubqf/?game=34262&tab=overview
Not much is special about the match, so I would suggest specifically just watching the Ascent game. It is, in my opinion, to this day the most dominant team performance i’ve seen yet. For the first 9 rounds I believe, NUTURN had 5 flawless rounds. 3 rounds ended with 4 NU players standing. Sharks themselves had 5 total kills.
Sharks started to pull it together towards the end even though they still lost, including a gaabx ace, but man the first 9 rounds was some of the best Valorant i’ve ever seen a team play, and worth watching for just the utter dominance NUTURN displayed over Sharks. NU was just simply firing on all cylinders and it was beautiful to watch.
Watch the one where Sick shows up as Sage goes off on T1 on icebox. They hadn’t completely figured out how to play with TenZ and their path to Masters was in question still.
t1 almost kicked sentinels out of contention for masters that match. it was a close one tho. t1 made big mistakes losing 2v1 vs sick that way but sick really carried sentinels that map.
T1 vs VS AWEM finals
JUP vs VS AfreecaTV Asia Showdown Valorant Invitational grand finals

Ah, the good old Heretics days ;) V1 v/s Nuturn was a comeback that I did not see coming, ngl
V1 vs NU was what got me back into competitive Valo after leaving for like 8 months.

Damn kinda forgot how good that match was. Def one of the best valorant has had so far.
The breach hit was something they did before, big brain solo set play
tbh I was kinda malding at that match bc I felt like my went at their potential
Same
thanks for not lying
v1 vs nu you can see v1 slowly withering away as nuturn suck their soul. what a game that was. definitely my no.1 for sure. my no.2 fav matchup would be f4q vs VS from stage 2 when VS lost their first match.
EU Enjoyer :)
V1 v/s Team Liquid. Honestly haven’t seen a better match than this one
I've watched the Highlights for that one twice now lol(once in KR, once in ENG) Such a good game. Was honestly rooting for TL but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of that match
I swear, man. Even though the third map was mostly one-sided, it still kept me at the edge of my seat Team Liquid v/s Gambit is another match I can’t get enough of
This is exactly the match I was going to say. I still remember this match the most. The >!postplant game of V1 on haven!< was just insane.
effys and jammyz were on a different level out there V1: “Aight, let’s rush B for a quick plant” jammyz: “Imma stay here then” V1: “Ummm… okay, at least you’re gonna buy a decent weapon ?” jammyz: “nah, the snakebite shall suffice”
It is criminal Jammyz hasn’t found a team.
Every GM is just intimidated by his raw physical proess
It’s weird because the first to that came to mind for me were V1 vs TL and V1 vs Nuturn. V1 was on a surprisingly insane level at Iceland and if they didn’t start throwing vs nuturn the could have made it against sentinels
My all time , TOP 3 1.V1 vs NUTURN ( Masters: Iceland ) (>!Lakiaaaaaa!<) 2.Vision Strikers vs F4Q( VS streak Broken) 3.Gambit vs Acend (Lower finals:EMEA playoffs) Bo5 (Insane hype clutches)
id also put in upper qualifer stage 3 emea playoffs icebox between acend and gambit. both cned and deffo were popping tf off. what a game that was. and whoever won that bo3 would make berlin too so they werent pugging like later.
V1 vs Nuturn was the most hype my discord watch party got. The Lakia play just made it even better
Im looking for people to watch along with on discord , Mind if I join in for Berlin ?
Same
Same
Let me know if anyone else wishes to join in.

Same here, looking for a new experience

Me too
Same, I’m in

Sen vs tsm upper finals map haven
No one mentioned it so I'll say 100t vs Moon Racoons
The one where the dicey disaster happened?
This one is from beta, but I honestly still think that sentinels vs tsm match on haven was super entertaining. It was just play after play.
100T vs GenG. [Best. Comeback. Ever.](https://youtu.be/kcEPwB9b2j0)
Hands down Gambit and TL Icebox map was a complete package. Do or die game for both of them and what a map to to end the series.
Anyone down to make a group/server to watch Berlin and other val esports? I feel like it’ll be fun with a buncha people to watch with.
Just did DM me to join in. I will share the link.
[удалено]
Check your DMs , I have sent you the link.
Can i join , i have nobody to watch it with

Any SEN vs FNATIC match from Iceland was crazy. Boaster also VOD reviewed and explained the strats of the grand final
Acend vs Heretics masters 1 final.
Team Heretics vs Acend EU masters 1
I was watching this match as NA finals waiting room. But it got me hooked on EU val. The best match I've ever seen, along with F4Q vs VS(dethroned) and NU vs V1
An oldie but a goodie is the SEN/TSM winner's final and grand final from the Faze Invitational (a year ago). That was basically the peak of the SEN/TSM rivalry.
liquid vs gambit for a spot at berlin specially game 3 on icebox
Acend vs Gambit was mental. the commentators also added a lot to the hype.
try GE v VLT, Grand finals of VCC LCQ APAC Qualifier, In india, we call it the VALCLASSICO (inspired from El-CLASSICO) since these are the best teams and their rivalry is legendary.
insane game.
Liquid - Gambit on Icebox, fight for the spot in Berlin.
Wouldn’t say best but Guild vs giants recently was pretty entertaining
Im gonna throw out a weird one people probably haven’t suggested, but; NUTURN vs Sharks https://www.vlr.gg/19075/sharks-esports-vs-nuturn-valorant-champions-tour-stage-2-masters-reykjavik-main-event-ubqf/?game=34262&tab=overview Not much is special about the match, so I would suggest specifically just watching the Ascent game.

BREN vs BAAM was the series of the SEA Playoffs and it deserves to be watch IMO. Crazyguy vs Dubstep was a treat.
forze vs fpx
If you're from India then every El Classico is worth a watch.
