Moves For Esports

Canada isn’t alone in embracing the Esports revolution, with gamers from coast to coast participating in everything from poker tournaments to battle royale melees, as well as watching pros stream their exploits on Twitch and YouTube Gaming.

But what does it take to become a full-fledged Esports superstar? Is it their personality that shines through on their stream, or their daring moves in the games whose lobbies they’ve made their home? Well, the truth is that a little bit of both is required, but here we focus on the latter, looking at the most daring special moves that Esports players can make that, if executed correctly, can catapult a player to a new level.

Dota 2 is just one of the many Esports where players can perform a wide range of crowd-pleasing maneuvers.

The “No Scope” move is most commonly seen in games that require high-level marksmanship, such as Call of Duty or Rainbow Six. A no-scope shot is one that is made without the use of a scope or other aiming device and is made from a great distance. Such moves are huge crowd pleasers and can send the online Esports community into a frenzy for days, especially if they’re caught on camera during a live stream.

Once the move has been made, the drama begins as viewers of an Esports stream sit back and wait to see if the star streamer’s bluff will be called by their unsuspecting opponent.

Opening moves in chess are frequently the most interesting because they set up an opponent for later attacks.

There is constant debate in the game of chess about which move is the best of all time, but according to a recent poll conducted by chess.com, Latvian grandmaster Alexei Shirov’s “bishop sacrifice” is the best attacking move ever seen on a chequered board. The beauty of such a move is that no one, including his opponent, saw it coming, leaving Veselin Topalov perplexed as to how he ended up in checkmate in the first place. There were no bishops harmed in the making of this decision!

League of Legends has been one of the most popular Esports for a long time, and part of its allure is that victory can be snatched from the jaws of defeat with genuine skill and talent.

Hong “MadLife” Min-gi is a game legend known for his incredible hook maneuvers that can turn a game in his team’s favor in the blink of an eye. His most famous hook move was demonstrated in the Hot6 Champions Summer 2013 event, where he stunned MiG Blitz, who had appeared to be on his way to a simple victory up until that point. The move was a hit with both live audiences and viewers at home, and it will be talked about for years to come.

For a long time, women were barred from participating in Esports, but trailblazers like Xiaomeng “VKLiooon” Li ensured that they did. In 2019, she achieved her greatest achievement when she defeated her opponent to become a true Hearthstone Grand Master. This was the culmination of a series of incredible moves, all of which were watched by her legions of fans.
