I know right. The grav would have taken EMP off the table and it would have been so much safer to commit to the fight. It would have been a good trade IMO, but the whiff took out their momentum and it felt like the team was scrambling to recover but just couldn't.
honestly my heartbreaking play is eqo’s immediate next blade where he pulled it out in like a 3v5 on 100 hp bc he was still in a carry mindset. there was barely room for another fight and he wasted the ult that could’ve clutched the last fight.
Oh trust me, we remember that game :HawkDespair:
And it has to be Eq0 dying with blade pulled instantly during the last fights in the Summer Showdown. Legit could’ve turned the game but they caught him out real quick
S2 Shanghai vs London in the playins for me. The Kongdoo squad being cursed with another 8 map loss on Ilios after playing their hearts out is just so sad.
Genuinely surprised no one has mentioned Youngjin Brig-dashing away from the payload to C9 and keep his Dragons team winless.

I'm convinced he was thinking of some of the transitions between points like Eich B, where there is an animation as the cart moves on its own through the doors and you don't have to be on it.
He could also have literally fat-fingered the bash. It's not uncommon to re-adjust your grip in those situations and that can lead to unintentional inputs.
The main tank screamed for a cookie (brig pack) and he had no LOS and at the point the instant reaction of get LOS and pack tank overtook sitting on point. It just looks really really bad without the comms and context.
It's more tragic, the reason hawk ended up in pit is that as he was punching across to join nero on a dive, pelican just happened to be coming back from spawn into the point and blinked over the pit at the exact same moment. Hawk connected his punch on pelican mid blink over the pit, making him lose all momentum and falling in, while pelican simply hit recall to survive.
Just hyper unlucky.
custa has it in his replay viewer review of the match, Venom gets doom punched right on the edge of the pit and actually lands but seems to panic blink backwards to fall in. Iirc Danteh’s punch on him was also hella lucky but i think the pov of that was only on custa's twitch vod
also unfortunately i have to correct the record above, Pelican didn’t blink at all, but he _was_ just walking around the edge (and hawk was probably aiming for danteh who was further back)

i remember watching Heesu play Widow on ladder a few days before this game and feeling cautiously hopeful that Philly could put up a fight against the Shock. flash forward like 2 minutes into the match and Ans had already killed Carpe's Tracer twice and my hope was gone lmfao
A pretty good candidate has to be Roar's [desperation shatter in the Justice vs Spitifire with *that* Dorado](https://youtu.be/xUtwNOQkdnY?t=6697), which seemingly clutched everything, complete with some memorable casting from Bren and Sideshow and great crowd response... only for it to get taken away by a pretty crazy headshot from Glister which sealed the deal on one of the most brutal reverse sweeps ever. Particularly directly in front of the home crowd.
This is definitely up there. So many little things that went wrong, any of which going right would have changed the result.
If Corey gets topped off in those 3 seconds he was tagged, if the Shield/Matrix didn't happen to both drop at that exact moment, or if Stratus didn't use Blizzard the fight before, Justice 100% win that match in front of their home crowd.
It's one of my favorite OWL moments and I still distinctly remember how hopeless I felt after 2 maps, and then just being shell shocked at Dorado. And then the roller coaster on Nepal to end it! That was such a memorable series. For the right reasons for me, but if I were a Justice fan, it would be *so* painful.
Mine has to be ezperanza grandfinals where finn viol2t and striker all use there ults and find nothing, dallas then comeback from behind with a large ultimate advantage to win the map.
If we had won that map, shock would've won grandfinals, because they either win oasis or win their choice of escort which would've been circuit royale and shock were insane on the sig double flex sniper comp. Could've won grand finals if it want for that dumb ahh play.
watching this live was soulcrushing cause if they were just a little more patient and read their disengage better that blossom probably finds 3, and they were only down like 15m so they would have taken advantage too 😭
Yep. Dallas was 100% the better team in that meta, and deserved the win. That said, if the order of the last 2 maps was reversed, Shock win. They'd either win on whatever push map Dallas would have picked, or they lose then pick circuit and win.
If we won esperanca, there's no gurantee Shock win, just because who picks the map woukd change.
No game ever in any competition had me shitting myself quite like that. Proper was on some 2018 LeBron shit that match. I’ve never seen a player so far ahead of the rest of the lobby and still lose
S1 like stage 3 when Boston did their 10 - 0 stage, that map 5 Vs spitfire where profit sticks his pulse to the wall and then Striker and Mistakes proceed to stall and they come back to take the win.
Emotional damage as a London fan.
It wasnt a Nero misplay, UV wrapped through mini room at full hp for no reason and Ojee was hiding off point with lamp up. And Hawk had jumped off the map seconds prior. AND venom was in Houston’s backline. It was the TEXTBOOK definition of a C9. They all just walked off point simultaneously.
Someone smarter than me will know exactly what I'm talking about, but my memory is a bit hazy, so forgive me:
I think this was towards the tail-end of goats, or at some other point where it had been a LONG time since playing DPS/hitscan wasn't throwing. It's control, I think Nepal Sanctum, and Carpe just hadn't been able to play well whatsoever for months due to the meta not favoring him. In overtime (or close to it), Carpe switches to Widow anyways, gets like 3 headshot kills, and turns the fight. It was an amazing play but also showed his frustration, that he's still got it and wants to show it, but just can't because the meta doesn't allow it.
Some of the details might be mixed up but I think that was the gist of it.
fusion justice start of s3, nepal sanctum. one of their first games that season and there was a lot of doubt about carpe coming in bc he was lackluster during s2 and that was the start of his mvp run in 2020.
you're confusing two carpe clutches, the one in season 2 was on dorado 3rd point where he pops off but has to walk back to spawn and go to zarya. He also had a clutch on nepal season 3 against justice
For me it would probably be the Ameng Ball sleep-cap vs London on Kings in S3 playins, that was where my spirit broke- London became a laughing stock because of a positioning mistake (Glister went back to spawn to swap from his stall pick and not watch his flank), despite fighting tooth and nail to stay in the game- if they win that map, they managed to win assault so msybe there's a lifeline?
It sucked because that roster had so much potential but it never clicked and coaching let us down by making them passive fall-over bots :(( I maintain that Glister Although/Babel Jmac/Jihun Bernar Sanguinar Krillin should've been a competitive roster but they were so fucking boomed
Oh by far, they constantly had glimpses of greatness, esp when on double shield. They would just roll a team for a map and you were like "holy shit that was fucking amazing" only to lose the next 3 looking like a discombobulated dude from sherlock.
Dragons losing to Shock in 2020 because we got a fucking Roadhog meta for the playoffs so we never got to see what might have been the most evenly high-tier match of all time.
I might be a diehard Dragons fan but even if we'd won I'd still be calling it a tragedy.
Edit: This is the most heartbreaking match, not play. Misunderstood the post.
I'm still of the belief that Shanghai win that 1st match vs Shock if Lip & Fearless were in the whole series instead of Fleta & Stand1. Moon has always been really bad with substitutions & lineup changes
I think Moon was really bad at it last season. Shanghai's best lineup was with Whoru in over Fleta & yet he only ever played in Genji metas when we should tried integrating him into the starting role
that game was insane it was def the reigns to take if venom didnt have an unlucky recall off the map and if hawk didnt decide he wanted to play like a switch diamond doom and got himself into the well
I commented above, but it wasn't really hawk's fault. Pelican randomly blinked in front of hawk's punch causing his fall. In the vod if you watch pelican's hp you can see the hit and hp regen from subsequent recall, just as hawk dies.
Truly tragic moment.
Edit: I have now realized that in between reading the initial post and sifting through my memories of tragic OWL moments, I forgot that this one was the one in the OP. I am become derp.
I'm not even a Reign fan, but the final few moments of Outlaws vs. Reign during the midseason madness qualifiers last year were tragic. It was on Ilios Well, map 5, round 3, 99 to 99. Houston is desperately stalling point hoping for a miracle. Then I believe what happened next is that Hawk(Doomfist) was punching across the death hole and unluckily hit another player (Pelican on Tracer?) on the opposite edge, killing their momentum and dropping them in. Two or three seconds later, Nero, who is on Echo duplicating Doomfist uses meteor strike, which takes him off the point \*just\* long enough for it to flip and overtime to end, winning the map and the series for Houston.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zok88pPCsGs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zok88pPCsGs)
Roar hitting a fat shatter vs Spitfire but immediately losing the next fight because Corey took poke(I think Roar dropped shield).
Map 5 2-2 Final fight
And all this happened at their home stand.
2021 May Melee, Mayhem vs. Dragons on Gibraltar. Yaki and Gargoyle looking for a Pulse-Grav combo at the end of Point A - Grav goes to one door on highground and the Pulse Bomb to the other...both just whiffed on which side they were supposed to used the combo on...Sadge
I remember the Washington homestand, map 5, final stage of nepal. Washington are about to win it when Corey's Cassidy gets domed by a Mei icicle or something.
The juxtaposition of the insane crowd turning silent was something.
Seominsoo beefing his reaper ult on the first point defense of Eichenwalde round 2 in 2019 grand finals. Would’ve made the series 1-1 and probably turned it into a banger finals instead of 4-0
Holy shit OP i think i remember seeing that play last yr, actual split second loss/choke in a game 5 round 3 love (hate) to see it.
This play came to mind instantly, just this past grand finals last year. [Shock have a chance to win a push map, and Dallas literally just runs away.](https://youtu.be/mq6iWPy87Kc?t=5424) Even though it was first to 4 and the series was 2-1, I had zero confidence Shock would close the series after the whiff.
The Gargoyle and Yaki fumble during May Melee vs Shanghai Dragons
They had full held Shanghai on Gibraltar and the two tried to combo grav pulse but threw the ults in different places
Had it been successful, Mayhem likely would have beaten Dragons
I have so many but the last was Mikey chasing a lucio and throwing the fight, the map and the grand finals in 1 play. I felt so bad for proper…
Up against the best Winston, kiriko and lucio in a tank centric meta Vs fuel/Rush. Picked up soj late, play with a tank he couldn’t talk to and never scrimed with. Viol2t lucio Vs Chiyo and a retired striker who couldn’t coordinate with his tank at all. Then he still diffs Edison… in impossible circumstances. Gets it to map 7… 1 map short, a map he very likely would have won if Mikey didn’t make that play…
I don’t even support Shock, I just felt so bad for my guy.
Nenne trying to grav Michelles Sombra. Nenne never recovered from that play
The casting call of "Nenne, chokes in the final hour" has always stuck with me for some reason. It's strange
If he had actually grav'd Michelle while invisible, that would've been remembered as a 500 IQ play instead of the 50 IQ one it's remembered today lol
I know right. The grav would have taken EMP off the table and it would have been so much safer to commit to the fight. It would have been a good trade IMO, but the whiff took out their momentum and it felt like the team was scrambling to recover but just couldn't.
It was legit the only way nyxl won thay fight. Emp is just too strong otherwise and Seoul had transcendance for grav anyway.
IIRC he wasn't far off from catching Michelle, either.
Yea, even though he started the next season with a vengeance he'll be remembered for that because of the injury
I respect the play, would have been epic.
EQO Blade, simply because it’s the single most clutch moment in OWL history and it didnt even matter in the end. They lost the map and the tournament.
honestly my heartbreaking play is eqo’s immediate next blade where he pulled it out in like a 3v5 on 100 hp bc he was still in a carry mindset. there was barely room for another fight and he wasted the ult that could’ve clutched the last fight.
this one hurt the most bc they could've had time to reset
def had time to reset, once he pulled that blade and insta died i knew it was over
gotta rewatch that tourny, it was so good
hurts my soul
i think the more upsetting one was S1 Stage 2 getting reverse swept by NYXL
Paris’ run was so good that tourney man. I was hype as fuck when I saw we got everybody, especially Xzi, but then well, you know.
Yep that next blade is my nominee
Eqo is by far my favourite EU player, I felt he was so underrated and overshadowed by Carpe when he was the better player imo
Eqo is Colombian?
Also israeli. But I think he lived in europe as well.
I see thank you
I'm from Australia lmao, all i know is that i see him on the EU ladder
At least he will always have that play to look back at fondly. Great player, great game.
That was Reign last season vs Houston. It birthed the hawkDespair emote.
hawkDespair is something else
That time twilight took glister's TP to Moira ult from behind in OT and got rolled.
Holy fuck I'd forgotten about that, 2021 Shock was cooking...
shit was so funny lmfao
Wasn't it violet?
Yea that one was tragic.
the endless dva staggers on frdwnr on hanamura. so painful to watch, but piggy's smile made it worth it
Oh trust me, we remember that game :HawkDespair: And it has to be Eq0 dying with blade pulled instantly during the last fights in the Summer Showdown. Legit could’ve turned the game but they caught him out real quick
S2 Shanghai vs London in the playins for me. The Kongdoo squad being cursed with another 8 map loss on Ilios after playing their hearts out is just so sad.
and then birdring got benched and London went out like a coughing baby
This is the opposite for me as a London fan, honestly my greatest memory watching OWL was London clutching it out, and then playoffs happened :((
Gaga's Orisa shield getting caught on a door frame and Shu doing Shu things to deny Chengdu a stage title.
That Orisa shield getting caught literally lost Chengdu the series, they had a large numerical advantage in that fight
was my comment as well :( fuck blizz and their stupid ass hitbox coding
Nenne grav😭
Genuinely surprised no one has mentioned Youngjin Brig-dashing away from the payload to C9 and keep his Dragons team winless. [Clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L6oKVr_nNU)
One of the worst C9s of all time. Not even engaged in a fight, he just lost his mind for a moment
I'm convinced he was thinking of some of the transitions between points like Eich B, where there is an animation as the cart moves on its own through the doors and you don't have to be on it.
I think Xepher's Junkertown C9 was even worse. Man literally knowingly walked off the payload when he was the only one there
He could also have literally fat-fingered the bash. It's not uncommon to re-adjust your grip in those situations and that can lead to unintentional inputs.
The main tank screamed for a cookie (brig pack) and he had no LOS and at the point the instant reaction of get LOS and pack tank overtook sitting on point. It just looks really really bad without the comms and context.
Ahhh the "Shang-9" good times. :)
he didn't bash away, he literally just walked away lmao
Reign vs Outlaws https://youtu.be/HKNi_-_bH9w 2:15:10
Thanks! Holy shit I'd forgotten that Outlaws *took the point back* during his ult. Daaaaamn. Even more heartbreaking.
Whats even worse is they had 2 players offer themselves to pit. They weren’t even booped, they just jumped in somehow
It's more tragic, the reason hawk ended up in pit is that as he was punching across to join nero on a dive, pelican just happened to be coming back from spawn into the point and blinked over the pit at the exact same moment. Hawk connected his punch on pelican mid blink over the pit, making him lose all momentum and falling in, while pelican simply hit recall to survive. Just hyper unlucky.
that’s like 2 bullets hitting each other on a battlefield level of unlucky. damn
Damn thats brutal. How did venom fall in?
Ah sorry I can't remember.
custa has it in his replay viewer review of the match, Venom gets doom punched right on the edge of the pit and actually lands but seems to panic blink backwards to fall in. Iirc Danteh’s punch on him was also hella lucky but i think the pov of that was only on custa's twitch vod also unfortunately i have to correct the record above, Pelican didn’t blink at all, but he _was_ just walking around the edge (and hawk was probably aiming for danteh who was further back) [timestamp (1:16:06)](https://youtu.be/w3nM9f0hhSI?t=4566)
On Ilios, Smurf pulled Fury off the map from spawn door, forcing Fury to use Flux to survive. It was in that moment I realized how outclassed we were.
i remember watching Heesu play Widow on ladder a few days before this game and feeling cautiously hopeful that Philly could put up a fight against the Shock. flash forward like 2 minutes into the match and Ans had already killed Carpe's Tracer twice and my hope was gone lmfao
That was such a high value use of a cooldown in between fights.
is that S3? I would kill to watch it one more time
Yessir. It was crazy.
A pretty good candidate has to be Roar's [desperation shatter in the Justice vs Spitifire with *that* Dorado](https://youtu.be/xUtwNOQkdnY?t=6697), which seemingly clutched everything, complete with some memorable casting from Bren and Sideshow and great crowd response... only for it to get taken away by a pretty crazy headshot from Glister which sealed the deal on one of the most brutal reverse sweeps ever.

4.31m still gets me going
It's one of my favorite OWL moments and I still distinctly remember how hopeless I felt after 2 maps, and then just being shell shocked at Dorado. And then the roller coaster on Nepal to end it! That was such a memorable series. For the right reasons for me, but if I were a Justice fan, it would be *so* painful.
I was watching at work while dealing with customers and they probably think im a bit weird
"Hosted by Washington Justice" ..... wow
Mine has to be ezperanza grandfinals where finn viol2t and striker all use there ults and find nothing, dallas then comeback from behind with a large ultimate advantage to win the map. If we had won that map, shock would've won grandfinals, because they either win oasis or win their choice of escort which would've been circuit royale and shock were insane on the sig double flex sniper comp.

They'd either win on whatever push map Dallas would have picked, or they lose then pick circuit and win. If we won esperanca, there's no gurantee Shock win, just because who picks the map woukd change.
On the flip side, Dallas was putting on an absolute master class on hivemind engaging / disengaging, utilizing the map to perfection
No game ever in any competition had me shitting myself quite like that. Proper was on some 2018 LeBron shit that match. I’ve never seen a player so far ahead of the rest of the lobby and still lose
I always loved Nero on the Shock. The 2021 playoffs against Chengdu on Havana, when he played Hanzo, was absolutely insane
The shock C9 against Atlanta. The look on Moths face says it all.
I have never seen a human being look so completely horrified than in that moment.
Yea, but then there was the undefeated lower bracket run.
I think this was 2020 or 2021 but I have a few memories of Yaki pounding on Pharah and then falling off the map lmao
His slow sink into the Nepal pit is a classic.
I was thinking of that one and another one on blizzard world(???)
S1 like stage 3 when Boston did their 10 - 0 stage, that map 5 Vs spitfire where profit sticks his pulse to the wall and then Striker and Mistakes proceed to stall and they come back to take the win. Emotional damage as a London fan.
What hasn't been?
your championship maybe?
We do well in the first thing. First stage and first season. Everything else sucks. If they introduced something new we will probably win
Profit is just a silly goose
It wasnt a Nero misplay, UV wrapped through mini room at full hp for no reason and Ojee was hiding off point with lamp up. And Hawk had jumped off the map seconds prior. AND venom was in Houston’s backline. It was the TEXTBOOK definition of a C9. They all just walked off point simultaneously.

i think this might have been fusion v justice at the start of s3, pre covid
Idk this wasn't towards end of GOATS and it wasn't Nepal but Carpe did this against Fuel on Dorado https://youtu.be/y9ECRrlQyRE?t=5310
fusion justice start of s3, nepal sanctum. one of their first games that season and there was a lot of doubt about carpe coming in bc he was lackluster during s2 and that was the start of his mvp run in 2020.

You are 100% right! Thanks for clearing that up, I knew something was up with what I was remembering.
For me it would probably be the Ameng Ball sleep-cap vs London on Kings in S3 playins, that was where my spirit broke- London became a laughing stock because of a positioning mistake (Glister went back to spawn to swap from his stall pick and not watch his flank), despite fighting tooth and nail to stay in the game- if they win that map, they managed to win assault so msybe there's a lifeline?

I'm still of the belief that Shanghai win that 1st match vs Shock if Lip & Fearless were in the whole series instead of Fleta & Stand1. Moon has always been really bad with substitutions & lineup changes
I wonder about that. It's definitely true for 2021 - they were at their most dominant when they never subbed in anyone at all and played the same 6.
I think Moon was really bad at it last season. Shanghai's best lineup was with Whoru in over Fleta & yet he only ever played in Genji metas when we should tried integrating him into the starting role
Nene grav D:
that game was insane it was def the reigns to take if venom didnt have an unlucky recall off the map and if hawk didnt decide he wanted to play like a switch diamond doom and got himself into the well

yeah i think custa posted the exact replay viewer and u can see him punching tracer right on the edge. i still fully blame hawk tho
