There’s one thing that every esports fan can appreciate: The comeback.
There’s really nothing like it. Comebacks are everything we love about competition. The impossible odds, the incredible skill, the sheer, unadulterated hype.
But not all comebacks are created equal. Which is why we decided to rank the Top 10, taking into account how hard the comeback was, how much it mattered in the grand scheme of the tournament, and how crazy it was to watch.
Here are the Top 10 Comebacks in esports history.

That's really cool! But is it as cool as Dota2 tho? #SaveDotaWithMeems
Tho I understand MKLeo's EVO run was iconic, I would argue his Frostbite 2020 was even better, being put into Loser's Bracket so early and managing to beat Samsora (#2), Tweek (#3), Nairo (#4), Zackray (#7), Dabuz (#9), among other top 25 ranked players like Dark Wizzy and Tea, to then stomp Maister (#6) in GF.
that tekken cumback is ugly shouldn't be here.
We need a JerAx video! More dota please
This video was poorly made. Pretty sure each of the moments were epic but the editing did NOT make any of these moments feel impressive at all.
What about C9’s gauntlet run with 3 back to back to back reverse sweeps?
SKT vs EDG?
we need to appreciate Moment 37
Dora the best game ever made
The Daigo Parry is automatic the greatest comeback in the history. No arguments needed. Fight me
pretty bias, Daido's comeback should be higher.
How is the Daigo parry only #10? And where's the Fnatic vs LDLC olofboost match?
That "oh fuck …" In Chinese Is the summary of this video.
Only here for OG's comeback and it's still sickening good as fookkk!!!


Dude I know everyone disregards RTS Games but the Number One Comeback of all time goes to Effort vs Flash in 2010 OSL Korean Air Finals! He was down 0-2 against Flash who is the best Starcraft Player of all time and won every tournament that year. Effort won 3 games in a row in front of a huge audience in an airplane hangar, it was just phenomenal! Effort became famous after that match.
The MK11 hate is real
Also, the Daigo parry is a top 5 easy, this has to be the worst video from this channel EVER
CSGO appearances:
8:13
12:10
The videos' ok, and the presentation was good.
But is it good as Dota 2?
LMAOOOOO SKT VS EDG ????????
Where is Argentina comeback in CSGO World Championship 2016?
finally there is a score esports video without the olof boost
EVO Moment 37 deserves a higher spot. It's the most popular esports moment ever.
EG vs Penta. A Bo5 grand final of Siege's most important tournament, widely regarded as one of the best series in Siege history and the 1st series most would recommend newcomers watch.
Not on the list.
CLG.EU vs M5, a single game in group stage at a Dreamhack
#2
Where is London vs Gladiators
No C9 from 10th place worlds semis……
ok but is it as good as dota2
#savedotawithmeme
Cloud 9 vs FaZe Clan is the better comeback in the history :3
Here's how you know Moment 37 should be higher on the list… you had Daigo in the goddamn thumbnail.
Daigo parry. Still gives me chills. I am one of those fortunate to witness it live. He's a beast, truly.
Bro LoL really play all 61minutes and only get 31 kills combine? Seriously wtf r u guys watching in the arena
Evo moment 37 is probably my alltime top moment ever, even though i dont play fighting games competitively….street fighter 3rd strike, is one of the best games of all time, ever, like cs go.
How played down it was , hurts me.
Also wish i heard more of the crowd cheering – the pacing felt rushed.
It wasnt even started but i already knew that top1 will be eg vs ehome dota 2
Why isn't Optic VS FaZe in WWII here?
Where are any of the epic SC2 comebacks. BS
Completely disagree with moment 37 being #10 instead of top 3 or even #1. Moment 37 is probably the one on that list that had the most impact outside of the scene that spawned it, which undoubtedly impacted the evolution of esports *as a thing*. Does that make for a predictable video? Yes. But also a more accurate one. IMO #10 should have been the SC2 BO3 match between HuK and Idra where HuK lost game 1, used hallucinated Void Rays to win game 2, and sufficiently tilted Idra to the point where HuK also won game 3.
