In the dead heat of a deciding fifth game between RunAway and LW Blue during the Overwatch APEX Season 2 semifinals, Ryu "Kaiser" Sang Hoon made one of the best plays of his career. Kaiser, on Reinhardt, used his Earthshatter to knock five members of the opposing team to the ground and push his team into the finals. This entire series had been marked by his superb initiates, but this one was the gem. --Steven Nguyen

It was the biggest stage of Salem's life, Evo 2017. Thousands of live spectators at the Mandalay Bay Arena and tens of thousands more online were on the edge of their seats as he, the man who once slayed titans in his prime, was attempting to take out ZeRo, the god of gods.

It was the final stock of the final game of two best-of-five series. Pressed against the wall with a seemingly insurmountable deficit, Salem converted a single opening into a death combo that we now know as one of the greatest comebacks in the history of competitive Smash Wii U. --Justin Banusing

And the winner is: Salem's final set vs. ZeRo at Evo

The stadium wasn't at full capacity yet, but the screams from the crowd were deafening. The players sat on stage; they were laser-focused on the TV screen. Eyes on the win, eyes on the prize, eyes on the title.

The game of adaptation continued throughout the set, but patience paid off for Salem this time around, as he chipped away at ZeRo's early lead. One percent, two percent, 101 percent. And it all came to the final set. They were in the air, fighting off screen, then it was over.

In front thousands of in-house viewers and thousands of Twitch viewers, Salem took down the best Smash 4 player of all time. He pulled off an upset like no other. It was a monumental win, a win to remember. How did Salem feel after the match? "A little bit sad, a little bit happy. It's a mixture of both. I wanted to beat the best in the world, but doing it immediately...well, the goal is done." --Rachel Gu
