Part One ( -6): http://youtu.be/17ZVxjnsVeg Ninja Defuse: Top 10 Clutches in CS History ( -1) Released: December 8, 2010. Created by Austin Townley Narrated by Alex 'Vansilli' Nguyen Special thanks to Griffin Benger, Joe Piazza, Josh Geha --- *** SPOILERS *** Our rankings explained. Without revealing player or team names (in case someone reads a spoiler before actually watching), I'll highlight just how important and/or difficult some of these rounds were in order to further communicate our decisions. Inevitably, there will be those that disagree, which is perfectly acceptable. Hopefully this will allow you to better understand our placements before telling us we're wrong. This round embodies what clutch is. Alone against the best players in the world, yet in complete control from start to finish. The game may have been lost, but this clutch was still the defining moment of the tournament, and this player's career. A perfect combination of skill, intellect and patience during the second map of a very close CPL final. Amazing. Just wonder -- what if they had won? We're not sure anyone could deny it the number one spot in a list such as this if that were the case. Sadly, losing as bad as they did almost makes it meaningless in a sense, if not for perhaps the most memorable commentating in history. It's hard to fully explain how sensational this round is beyond just the brilliant play. While starting on one of the hardest sides of any current map to play, he earns his team two eco's, and control of the money system for potentially the entire half. It removes the dangerously real potential of being rolled in the half with a score like 13-2, guaranteeing the opportunity to reach at least gun rounds on the favorable side, even if you end up losing the next pistol. Perhaps most importantly, it puts a dagger directly into the opponents back and morale. Those who remember ESWC 2003, specifically zEx vs SK, understand vividly the weight carried by such a round win. Maybe the simplest, yet most jaw dropping clutch ever. The only round in CS history to receive a tagline. This may not have taken place in a final or semi-final, but it was integral in creating one of the most notorious upsets in CS history. When we look back on the impact and scale of events in counter-strike, this is perhaps the game's most defining moment. While number three may have had an incredible impact on an entire match, this round impacted a teams entire future, effecting the landscape of our game's storied history. This single round win, leading to a tournament championship, instigated a chain of events that would cause a legendary roster shakeup. In turn, new rivalries would be forged, new stars born, and the faces that had practically ruled the scene since day one would relinquish their crown, and begin an unexpected descent toward retirement. --- There were a lot of rounds fans brought up while waiting for part 2 to be released. Here are the rounds that weren't included, and why. Neo vs NiP, 1v2 1hp -- As you can tell, this list was heavily weighted by importance and impact. This round having taken place during a Clanbase match (online) lacked the significance to be considered. Ave vs Na'Vi, 1v3 deagle one deags -- The production on the movie was almost entirely done by the time this beautiful round happened, and we didn't anticipate demos being released, or a high quality stream cut. There's an extremely high likelihood it would've made the top 10. f0rest vs eSTRO, HeatoN vs 4K -- Neither of these rounds were actually 1vX, with their first kill taking place with at least 1 teammate alive.
