The Top 3 is rounded out by a pre-match interview with Alvaro 'SunPayus' Garcia, the only Spanish player of the international ENCE team, taken as part of ESL Pro League Season 16.

Second place goes to a moment from the second quarterfinal game of Worlds 2022 between DRX and EDward Gaming. In this clip, the Chinese team was killing Baron Nashor and almost lost the game because of a tricky plan by a DRX player. Deft seized the moment, snuck into his opponent's base and almost broke the Nexus (just one hit short). By the way, just a few minutes after that moment, DRX lost the match card and was one step away from being eliminated from the tournament. But then it made a comeback in the series, winning three maps in a row.

An interview with Qikert from Outsiders, where the player talked about his past match against MOUZ at IEM Rio Major 2022, became the most popular esports clip of the year on Twitch. However, the reason for the huge number of views is a completely different player: KRIMZ from Fnatic, who was changing his clothes in the back and was very surprised to see his naked torso on the broadcast.
