In video games or esports, taking L’s is all part of the experience. It’s all good, go next. But not all losses are created equal. They can’t all be defiant, heroic last stands. Some losses are so embarrassing they've been cursed to be memed on for all eternity.

This week on Listed, we’re listing off the most embarrassing ways pros have actually lost games.

    100 Thieves getting 13-0’d against The Guard was also embarrassing because the loss was so bad that a few days later they dropped the two players they recently picked up with one of them being an EU import
  • @savalije2405
    That guy cracking up when g2 forgot to defuse gets me every time 😂
  • @juancarloang
    OMG. Your writers/researchers totally forgot EVO 2015's Ogawa vs Woshige! "What are you standing up for!?"
  • @blitzcrank4840
    Should have made it at least 10 included -Perfect 13gend losing 10-0 to Sonicfox, trashtalks again, then loses another 3 -Legend losing to Larva in Zotac while Larva was playing with his foot -Chillindude losing to Leffen after that rap -Woshige popping off too early -LowTierGod getting his ass blasted by Viscant after trashtalking in twitter

    G2 being the first and in Valorant history to go 13-0 in a LAN event should be in this list. If that LAN had an audience I could not imagine the faces they would make. Such a sad ending for their Masters 3 2021 run, especially after beating Sentinels who people thought were invincible coming into that Major. Thankfully they lost against Gambit, the winner of that Major.
  • @kenithy
    surprised to not see SC2 IdrA vs HuK hallucinated voidrays is one of the most embarrassing losses
  • @schwii.-9306
    the euniited game is just hte biggest BM move possible, slept in, forefeited 2 matches, still won
  • That time when s1mple tried to knife someone and it cost NAVI the whole game, it was so crazy seeing how one failed knife kill could cost an entire game
  • @rsbandbj1
    I would also include SC2 Idra. 1 was vs huk where huk hallucinated void rays and Idra rage quit. 2nd was against MVP, MVP killed his own base on accident, idra just had to defend and push but rage quit again.

    For those who are wondering why Wei would even have ignite on his sums in the first place... you gotta keep in mind that that game happen around when Smite/Ignite Graves was meta... more than likely he was planning on doing that set up but forgot he had Flash on F instead of D (or even just swapped out Smite as a Solo Queue habit).
  • @Atlastheyote222
    Sleeping in, forfeiting 2 games and still winning is the biggest flex I've ever seen in ESports.
  • @kaiklax4025
    My favorite is a cs summit event where a full G2 roster lost to mouz who had a stand in and a coach playing
  • @DavidHamada35
    Where's the infamous "WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR?!?!!?!?" this is an iconic loss for Woshige
  • In the gyro misclick its kinda funny how the RNG players immediately realized Alliance messed up while the casters r trying to justify why they might have picked gyro
  • @GoyfAscetic
    This vid missed a key detail on the OWL C9, if you watch the lucio icon on the overhead view, you'll notice that he was going to contest but got stunned by the enemy team and pushed away preventing the stall at the last second.
  • @stilmaho
    I expected 13-0 Perfect Legend or the infamous "What are you standing up for?"
  • @Syyntax861
    9:09 Glad to see i'm not the only one that has forgotten which side they're on in valorant. one time i won a clutch 1v3 on defense and then just walked away from the bomb when i had plenty of time because for some reason i thought i was on attack
