What do you think of when you think of a last-second win? A buzzer beater in the NBA? A photo finish in the 100m sprint? We think of really close Esports matches – and we have the most exciting ones for you here!

Arslan Ash vs. Knee – EVO 2019 Semifinal Winner (Tekken).
The rivalry between Pakistani player “Arslan Ash” and Korean player “Knee” is legendary. “Knee” dominated the Tekken scene for years, but there was one player he could never win against – “Arslan Ash”. In the semifinals of the 2019 EVO Winner, they had one of their best showdowns ever – it was a last-second victory.

Both played a strong game and after two rounds the score was tied 1-1. So it went to the final, decisive round. Both players had hardly any life points left, and besides, they were running out of time. Everyone assumed that running out the clock would bring the decision. But “Arslan” managed to land a last second hit on “Knee’s” Geese with Kasumi and knock him out. Arslan won the fight by knockout.

NRG vs. Dignitas – RLCS 2018 (Rocket League).
Rocket League is a mixture of soccer and racing: so excitement is bound to happen. However, in one of the greatest moments in RLCS history, the tension was almost unbearable. The score was tied 2-2 with only four seconds left on the clock. Just before the end, Team Dignitas managed to score a goal, which they were already celebrating like a victory.

“NRG”, however, had other plans – with 0 seconds on the clock, NRG player “jstn” managed to score a goal for his team and level the score at 3:3. This was literally a last second save and one of the closest decisions in Esports and RLCS history.

Houston Outlaws vs Seoul Dynasty – 2016 OWL Pre– Season (Overwatch).
The Overwatch League is full of fantastic players and talented teams – and, of course, too many last-second match decisions to list. However, this is one of our favorite decisions. On the Horizon Lunar Colony map, it was 1-0 Dynasty when the Outlaws came back with a vengeance in the final seconds of the map’s second half.

“Rawkus” managed to fend off the opposing Tracer with Zen and give his team a one-man advantage. At the same time, he prevented Tracer from using her ultimate ability. “Dynasty” then captured both points, used their team advantage, and eventually won the map. Although they didn’t win the series, this moment was still one of our favorite last-second victories.

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, support unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
