In video games or esports, taking L’s is all part of the experience. It’s all good, go next. But not all losses are created equal. They can’t all be defiant, heroic last stands. Some losses are so embarrassing they've been cursed to be memed on for all eternity.
This week on Listed, we’re listing off the most embarrassing ways pros have actually lost games.

100 Thieves getting 13-0’d against The Guard was also embarrassing because the loss was so bad that a few days later they dropped the two players they recently picked up with one of them being an EU import
R.I.P. my boy ec1s
Had a lot of hope for 100 thieves back then, I mean cmon you got so many cs veterans
@@SleevesYT 100 Thieves is good in showing promise and then falling abruptly it feels like. Everytime they make a new roster it usually looks good in the beginning and then massively drops. This current roster also looks promising and I think they can make it work if they try to work on the mistakes, rather than changing up the roster every tkme ^^
Could be worse. At least they didn't get 13-0'd in a first to 10
g2 getting 13-0ed by gambit was worst, they get brutally taken down on the stage after all the trashtalk
That guy cracking up when g2 forgot to defuse gets me every time 😂
Never heard sadokist say Holy shi- before omfg
@@HeaveNcs Thats Moses. and co-caster is Anders
sounds like mario
COD Zombies laugh
This can’t be a vid without summit1g molly
My man summit forever haunted by the molly
I was gonna ask if he's in it
its not a lose because they won the game
@@redeagle3626 they lost
@@redeagle3626 they lost
OMG. Your writers/researchers totally forgot EVO 2015's Ogawa vs Woshige! "What are you standing up for!?"
"WOSHIGE NOOOOOOO!"
Can be a top moment in all of EVO history.,but somehow can't crack this top 5 list.
Should have made it at least 10 included -Perfect 13gend losing 10-0 to Sonicfox, trashtalks again, then loses another 3 -Legend losing to Larva in Zotac while Larva was playing with his foot -Chillindude losing to Leffen after that rap -Woshige popping off too early -LowTierGod getting his ass blasted by Viscant after trashtalking in twitter
ah yes, the perfect 13gend. unforgettable.
Woshige isn't on the list? ? ? WHY?
And summit1G molly
@@chupasaurus My guess, they used that in a recent video and probably wanted to showcase other moments. Definitely deserves to be on the list though, that shit was hilarious.
and the all womens league team who never won a game or took a single tower.
G2 being the first and in Valorant history to go 13-0 in a LAN event should be in this list. If that LAN had an audience I could not imagine the faces they would make. Such a sad ending for their Masters 3 2021 run, especially after beating Sentinels who people thought were invincible coming into that Major. Thankfully they lost against Gambit, the winner of that Major.
100T lost to the guard 13-0
@@kubaluk1909 yea but he said on LAN, im pretty sure the 100T vs Guard game was online
@@berumeru ohh my bad sorry
@@kubaluk1909 no worries, i think that 13-0 is more well known bc of the insane roster changes from 100T xD i dont blame you
Didn't Team Secret also get 13-0'd by Gambit in Valorant Champions?? Or am I just misremembering it?
surprised to not see SC2 IdrA vs HuK hallucinated voidrays is one of the most embarrassing losses
Never watched a SC match ever but I've heard of and seen the clip. That's the one with FF right? Like you didn't just lose you gave up when winning lmao
Aah yes. That was hilarious. :D
And HuK rubbed salt in the wound by telling IdrA in the next game that it's all hallucinations 😂
9:09 Glad to see i'm not the only one that has forgotten which side they're on in valorant. one time i won a clutch 1v3 on defense and then just walked away from the bomb when i had plenty of time because for some reason i thought i was on attack
I would also include SC2 Idra. 1 was vs huk where huk hallucinated void rays and Idra rage quit. 2nd was against MVP, MVP killed his own base on accident, idra just had to defend and push but rage quit again.
For those who are wondering why Wei would even have ignite on his sums in the first place... you gotta keep in mind that that game happen around when Smite/Ignite Graves was meta... more than likely he was planning on doing that set up but forgot he had Flash on F instead of D (or even just swapped out Smite as a Solo Queue habit).
That makes a lot of sense, so he didnt see the flash slot, but he saw that he already have ignite
Actually in Estars tweet about his fine, they stated that Wei was playing 1v1s with teammates before the match and just forgot to swap ignite to smite in the actual match. They tried to negotiate with refs in loading screen but the result was they were told to continue playing
In the gyro misclick its kinda funny how the RNG players immediately realized Alliance messed up while the casters r trying to justify why they might have picked gyro
the teams were seated facing each others on the stage and LaNm seeing how the Alliance boys reacted is a big part of it. I assume the casters didn't have a view on the teams unless they happened to be on the main stream.
They saw Alliance player holding his head in his hand NotLikeThis. That's why they knew Alliance messed up. What happened was, Alliance ran out of time to ban a hero, this autobanned a random hero and started timer for Alliance last pick. Alliance didn't realise this and picked Gyro instantly instead of banning the hero
iirc alliance were ahead in that game and then rng hit a bunch of clutch chronos to win it
That time when s1mple tried to knife someone and it cost NAVI the whole game, it was so crazy seeing how one failed knife kill could cost an entire game
My favorite is a cs summit event where a full G2 roster lost to mouz who had a stand in and a coach playing
This vid missed a key detail on the OWL C9, if you watch the lucio icon on the overhead view, you'll notice that he was going to contest but got stunned by the enemy team and pushed away preventing the stall at the last second.
CANT BE A VIDEO without karrigan not able to kill kennyS while planting the bomb LOL
the euniited game is just hte biggest BM move possible, slept in, forefeited 2 matches, still won
I expected 13-0 Perfect Legend or the infamous "What are you standing up for?"
One of my favorite is CLG vs. Red Reserve at DH Valencia 2017 CS:GO: 15-12 to CLG on the deciding map, and they mess up the defuse in a 3v0 situation by not letting the player with the defuse kit go for it ; one HOUR later they lost the map 28-24 and thus their spot to the playoffs
C9 v fnatic (i think) on overpass similar thing, famous "sit and burn" clip where 3 players died to posthumous Molotov on the bomb
When s1mple tried to knife the last enemy on the last round but he failed and that last player clutched the round and his team ended up winning the game in overtime. i dont remember the tournaments name but i know it was on dust 2 :D
Na`Vi vs. Liquid at ESL One Cologne 2019 group stage 😄
props for including smite on a list. It's definitely not popular but it has some really good moments across its pro league seasons.
I was expecting the F spelled out in that fighting game, one of the funniest things i've ever seen
apEX on blast: "defuse the bomb, no G2" LOOOOL
Gotta love how C9 Dota misses their teleports and then a little bit later c9 ow forgets to stay on the point. Both staying in the their respective games history as an embarrassing game losing mistake.
I agree with you that this is embarrassing. The alliance/insania misclick wasnt THAT embarrassing at all. Very bad mistake, yes, embarrassing no.
Could probably note the famous Liquid choke, or the time s1mple missed a knife to win the game and ended up losing the map and series. 😂
I was hoping for some rocket league action with the elimination match between Renegades and Veloce at the season 8 world championship. Game 4, elimination game for Renegades, and they own goal after a 9 minute or so overtime (golden goal situation): heartbreaking
Where's the infamous "WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR?!?!!?!?" this is an iconic loss for Woshige
Should have included tsm’s 0-6 groups, or when they lost to the 0-5 flash wolves and didn’t make it out of groups as a result
Whenever I'm depressed I go watch that G2 clip
i watched just to see if c9 was going to be on here. Love it!
Missed this classic: “Woshige noooooooo!!!!” 😂
I am living for the 'forgot I was attacking' story at the end.
Sleeping in, forfeiting 2 games and still winning is the biggest flex I've ever seen in ESports.
Maybe the extra few minutes actually helped
the cs_nuke map was notorious for the bomb sounds being buggy so even when planted b it could sound like its planted A
you miss this: what about you are the third time champion of league of legend and loss a game in 16 minutes against your enemy region. This happened: SKt against IG in the MSI 2019, the actually, most fast game in international stage
that didnt come as a mistake, its all about faker being arrogant
Actually... IG losing a BO5 against an NA team 3-1 was more embarrassing than SKT losing in 16 mins against IG especially when IG recently won worlds with the same roster while SKT just got reassembled.
These losses got me ripping my hair!
You… haven’t even watched the video yet.
I mean two missed options was right away zvens or jensen throwing their final matches in LCS or the early pop-off at evo where player whos name I dont remember thought he won popped off and the 3rd round started and he got combo'd out before picking his controller up.
Forgetting the second round in a figthing game aka the iconic "WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR"
Axe VS Silent wolf 4 stock under 1 minute at Evo 2014 was really embarrassing. Also Leffen vs chillin in the salty suites.
I'll never forget during GC EMEA playoffs when Guild X surrendered against G2 Gozen. Cinnamon apparently misclicked on the Surrender button instead of the Time Out button and her teammates just voted yes. So they had to take a tech pause to restart the game where it left off which took like 30min. G2 did take the series 2-0 and not because of the surrender vote, but damn was it funny. Guild also lost a ban or pick in the next game they played as penalty. Mad funny when the game just ended barely 6 rounds into the half lol
Smoooooooottthhhh Transitions (as always)
damn this needs every g2 semifinal or best of 5
Liz you should have mentioned that the SF Shock go on to run the table in the losers bracket and take the championship that year anyways. Adds to the story :)
Clearly we need a part 2
this isnt a single loss, but the most one of the most embarrassing things i've seen is that g2 won the r6s 2019 invitationals, and then had to get a direct invite to the 2020 inv's cus they didnt make it in themselves.
Honourable mention for FNC knocking out EG 2-0 at the S8PL finals in Rio. FNC had to play with their coach (Dizzle) instead of their IGL (Magnet) who fell ill just before the flight. EG were expected to make the grand final and possibly win it all but went out in the QF.
"WOSHIGE, NO!" Really? The loss so shameful it got on mainstream sport programs? Not even a mention?
In CoD Toronto Ultra was up 4:0 against Minnesota Rokkr and lost the grand final 4:5 in the most reverse of reverse sweeps possible.
I really wouldn't be blaming G2 for that blunder at the bombsite, It's the french blood that forced them to retreat and surrender 🤣🤣🤣
How did Idra Vs Huk not make this list?
When simple whiffed the knife kill on Nitro on map point , and Nitro went on to clutch the round and liquid went on to win the map in double ot and the series
How'd they miss the most embarrassing of all. SONICFOX 13-0'ing PERFECTLEGEND in a first to 10 At FGC for Mortal Kombat on the stage during one of the biggest grudge matches that made history for the kid to become a 21x champion.
Nadeshot choosing the wrong class and picking the HDR is a classic
In an interview once, JACKZ (a player on G2 Esports CS roster) said that Amanek uses inverted hearing which caused the confusion
What is the point in that? Does that help Amanek play?
You guys forgot Idra's rage leave to Huck's illusions
Before watching C9 is up here Edit: there it is! XD
the best part of the Gyro pick was the casters literally didn't even realize what had happened, you can tell because they don't address the fact Alliance didn't use a ban on the ti stage.
The perfect parry's in Street Fighters was the most embarrassing! I mean.... Parry-ing all those hits on minimum HP! How embarrassing was that! What were the odds and how it happened was hilarious!
I dont think it embarrassing to lose to Ultra Instinct Justin Wong, more of an honour.
@@Dhakhar Well.... Now that you have said it! I just realized!
You missed when Orange denied the aegis is Dota 2 lol, that shit was classic.
Honestly thought the CDL major 5 grand finals where ROKKR came back from 0-4 to win would've made it here.
seeing how that Alliance (now Liquid) stack handled that misclick make me root for them now
The 1G + SonicFox’s 13-0 win against PerfectLegend!!! Lmao
The most embarrassing on this list has to be G2 Esports forgetting to defuse the bomb against Astralis. G2 will live with that shame for as long as people will remember😆😆😆
The s1mple knife in ESL One Cologne 2019 and summit1g mollo play has to make it here.
Honorable mention: DotA 2 kYxY TI 3 semi-final aegis deny. That not only cost them the game, it led to lose the whole series.
damn, i don't think i've seen SMITE stuff much on this channel. feels good :)
You make it sound like shock are unique in losing to a c9, while in truth it happens every couple of weeks, possibly 3 times in a single match (cough cough, chengdu hunters last week)
Just reading the title I thought summit molly
I guess Niko's failed deagle headshot against s1mple will be on another video called "Saddest losses in Esports history"
Wasn't even ther for that part but summ1ts molly death has gotta be up there
I'm on ultimate copium high right now but what if all that sleeping time that EUnited had, even at the expense of game forfeiture, was ultimately the winning factor that they needed to win the series?
So if you dont want to play a character why would you ban it? Is dota so different that you need to watch the enemies draft to see what to ban or what?
Dude.. that guy from fighting game i forgot what, who think he is winning but there are still 1 more round to play and his opponent just finish him when celebrating? Thats gotta be the no 1 on the list like this
Chillin dude v leffen
liz said i won't loose a single game but i've seen her on streams so i'm reconsidering my decision now
Why was there no honorable mention of VaeVictis ESports? Like losing 52-2 versus Vega Squadron is pretty humiliating... If I may replicate one commend it would be "I have seen 14-days suspensions for less." This was PRO match...
Ah, the iconic summit1g molly
Can we have this but with wins next?
bro how we in 2022 and not chaptering our youtube videos. Freaken theScore esports
Remember when refrezh "the liquidator" dismantled a whole team with one round?
most embarrassing losses in esports history that never has been forgotten and literally became a term is C-9
How did 1g not make the list. Literally had the map and summit dies to a Molly only for clg to lose in OT
Cod major when Toronto ultra chocked a 4-0 lead me got reverse sweeped
Apex :"defuse the bomb no g2uuuu!"
I know many people here play League or know about it but a brief explanation to those like me wouldn't be a bad thing, I actually would love to learn that. What is Ignite? Smite?
the brief explanation was it's mandatory for junglers. The casters also clued out afterwards that they're losing out on exp by not getting it. You could connect two and two together from context clues but hey, it's esports. If they're gonna explain all the details to make it comprehensible to people who don't play the titles on their list it would take awhile, which TBH I'm not against with since it's only a top 5 while they could easily make a list of 10 or more.
what about summit1g walking into his own molly and throwing the match
I dont know what game it is for the second clip, but the gyrocopter is basically Corki from League of Legends. Who copied who?
san francisco won the championship that season very dominantly after that c9
i thought the opening one was gonna be about the game Smite
Stoked to see smite getting some love
Add this video to the list.
Lucky's sd when he had the game won while opp was being star ko'd
Space Station Gaming getting destroyed still hurts to this day
When summit1g clutch a round and just needed to defuse the bomb to win the first map but ran into his on molotov so he died marking the enemy team win the round and do a comeback to win the game and get knock out of the tournament
liquid losing the 1v5 was quite embarrassing
There is this time when CSGO team Immortals showed up for the DreamHack Montreal finals with 2 players, losing the first game. =////
Where is EG’s throw at the Paris Major against Team Empire?
Summit's molly suicide resulted in them not closing out the game and eventually losing the series, that should be on here.
When REKKLES go solo on Twitch then get pealed off causing them to lose with a big advantage over their opponents deserves to be in this list.
What about summit walking into a molly?
Hmm I expected a kabum here but what ever :D
"Even pros are not immune to c9" well no shit, the meme comes from a pro team doing it
