While TNC Predator may have stolen the show with their incredible run at ESL One Hamburg, there were plenty of other amazing plays throughout the tournament.

From sick individual plays to amazing team fights, and even an unbelievable base-race ending that led to a team’s elimination, here are all the best moments you might have missed:


Virtus.pro vs Fighting Pandas (Group Stage)

After a great Chronosphere initiation from Jacky “Eternal Envy” Mao, it looked like Fighting Pandas were about to team wipe VP.

But Roman “Resolut1on” Fominok was able to land a Reverse Polarity ultimate that completely turned the fight around, and Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko melted the rest of the enemy heroes.


Wind and Rain vs Team Liquid (Group Stage)

Dmitry “Nefrit” Tarasich found himself surrounded by Team Liquid’s heroes, and after Maximilian “qojqva” Brocker landed a Meld Strike stun, Weaver was surely going down.

But Joni “Buugi” Falt saved his carry by casting Press the Attack and Weaver used his Time Lapse ultimate to turn the fight around.


Fighting Pandas vs Vikin.gg (Group Stage)

Jacky “Eternal Envy” Mao is known for taking extreme risks, but in this particular instance, it paid off.

After forcing Vikin.gg behind their tier four towers, Eternal Envy was able to dodge a Chronosphere by timing his Omnislash ultimate perfectly.


Wind and Rain vs TNC Predator (Group Stage)

Irakli “W1sh-” Peranidze was looking for any enemy hero to cast his Life Break ultimate, which caused him to be separated from his team. Buugi and Nefrit were able to clean up the remaining TNC heroes.


TNC Predator vs Quincy Crew (Group Stage)

After forcing buybacks on the side of Quincy Crew, Armel “Armel” Tabios was able to catch a 4-man Sanity’s Eclipse that wrecked Quincy Crew and helped him earn a Rampage.


TNC Predator vs Ninjas in Pyjamas (Group Stage)

Timothy “Tims” Randrup put an end to NiP’s base defense with a 5-man Black Hole that ended the game.



Gambit vs Alliance (Losers Final)

With most of Gambit’s heroes dead and without buybacks, Danil “gpk” Skutin singlehandedly prevented Alliance from taking any structures and helped his team win a close and hard-fought elimination game.


Gambit vs TNC Predator (Winners Final)

Gambit eventually lost this game, but first they pulled off this amazing double Divine Rapier Gyrocopter defense at the 49-minute mark, despite already being down 44,000 gold.


Beastcoast vs Wind and Rain (Lower Bracket)

After being caught by WaR’s scan, Jean “Chris Luck” Gonzales Melded at the bottom lane and coordinated with Steven “Stinger” Vargas who cast an Ice Blast that took out the enemy Winter Wyvern.


Beastcoast vs Wind and Rain (Lower Bracket)

At the 55-minute mark, WaR tried to end the game with two Beastcoast heroes out of the game with no buybacks. But thanks to Adrian “Wisper” Dobles’ incredible double Reverse Polarity ultimates, Beastcoast was able to stop WaR from ending the game.

With four Radiant heroes without buybacks, Beastcoast was able to out damage the Mega Creeps inside their own base to end the game.
