That hasn&#8217;t stopped the community from talking about all of its insane plays and outcomes. There were so many incredible Aces, Clutches, Multi-Kills, and the like from the best that competitive VALORANT has to offer.</p>



<p>That&#8217;s why we here at Run It Back let you decide what plays were the best. We <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/uccq9d/the_best_plays_from_masters_reykjavik/?sort=top" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took to Reddit</a> to ask the community for its thoughts on the best plays from the event. The top five upvoted comments were put into this list and they are absolutely stunning displays of talent in this rising esport.</p>



<p>We&#8217;d like to thank you all for your input on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">r/ValorantCompetitive</a> and give a special shoutout to Reddit user <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/M31ApplePie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">M31ApplePie </a>for commenting with a link to each play under the suggestions. What an absolute legend. Now without further ado, here are the top five community voted plays from Masters Reykjavik 2022.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5 plays from Masters Reykjavik</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">#5 &#8211; pANcada 1v3 on Ascent</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class=" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="pANcada 1v3 insane clutch against Optic on Ascent" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uol2QqRDz_8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>This play was submitted by our very own Sushant &#8220;<strong>Ominous</strong>&#8221; Jha, who has recently signed on as an analyst for Bleed eSports. He suggested Bryan &#8220;<strong><a href="https://rib.gg/players/pancada/6037?section=agents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pANcada</a></strong>&#8221; Luna&#8217;s 1v3 Clutch on Ascent against OpTic Gaming. This was their <a href="https://rib.gg/series/loud-vs-optic-gaming/27431" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Upper Bracket Final series</a> that LOUD eventually went on to win. </p>



<p>You&#8217;ll see <strong>pANcada</strong> post up in the back of B Site. Three players rush in from different directions and the Omen player had no issue taking them down. With pinpoint accuracy and incredible awareness, he clutched up as an attacker and ensured the round for the team from Brazil.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">#4 &#8211; Nivera Ace on Ascent</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class=" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="TL Nivera insane ACE against KRU Esports !! 😱😱" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YJTM0j2ia7c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The next best play at Masters Reykjavik was suggested by Reddit user The-Dark-Mage. <a href="https://rib.gg/series/kru-esports-vs-team-liquid/26968" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Team Liquid versus KRÜ Esports</a> is always an exciting contest. Though it was a <strong>2-0</strong> victory for Liquid, the LATAM representatives kept it close on Ascent. A wild overtime period ensued and kicked off with this play.</p>



<p>Nabil &#8220;<strong><a href="https://rib.gg/players/nivera/17788?section=agents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nivera</a></strong>&#8221; Benrlitom held his ground as the opposition rushed onto the A Site. While his teammates began to fall around him, he locked in and went to work. <strong>Nivera</strong> dropped Sova and sent KAY/O to his knees. Two quick headshots netted him three and a final spray on the Omen cemented the Ace as it caused KAY/O&#8217;s complete elimination.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">#3 &#8211; Jinggg 4K on Haven</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class=" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="TARIK  React  to  PRX JINGG  INSANE 4k !" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/R73WpRrBaMk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p><a href="https://rib.gg/series/paper-rex-vs-drx/27291" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paper Rex vs. DRX</a> was one of the most anticipated matches coming into the Playoff Bracket. It did not disappoint. Submitted by user dragindas is a nasty 4K by Wang Jing&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;<a href="https://rib.gg/players/jinggg/432?section=agents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jinggg</a>&#8220;</strong>&nbsp;Jie during the series that put Paper Rex up <strong>1-0</strong> in their eventual loss to DRX.</p>



<p>With 12 rounds to their name, <strong>Jinggg</strong> and the rest of Paper Rex were ready to close out Haven. PRX lost three players while only trading out one before he started this play. Killjoy and Jett practically lined up for him by the middle box on C Site. He Dismissed as Reyna, peeked out to kill the Omen, and aggressively put down the Sova.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">#2 &#8211; ScreaM 1v2 on Ascent</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class=" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="TL ScreaM wins an ECO for Liquid" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RFYVMrfoz-s?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>This isn&#8217;t just about the 1v2 that Adil &#8220;<strong><a href="https://rib.gg/players/scream/1690?section=agents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ScreaM</a></strong>&#8221; Benrlitom pulled off to Clutch the round. It also shows the first couple of kills he nabbed with the Sheriff before getting a rifle in his hands. This play was on the same map as his brother&#8217;s play listed above, showing that the Benrlitom boys were firing on all cylinders against KRÜ Esports.</p>



<p>It was commented by SpvcedOvtt on Reddit and received the second most upvotes out of all suggested plays. Watch and see how <strong>ScreaM</strong> manages to take down two with the Sheriff before his teammates all fall. He picks up a Phantom, gets in position behind the generator, and has no problem isolating his enemies for some quick headshots to Clutch the round.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-sacy-4k-on-icebox">#1 &#8211; Sacy 4K on Icebox</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class=" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="That is Disgusting VANDAL Spray from Sacy" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XPEaBGeiF3A?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The number one best play from Masters Reykjavik, as voted by the community, was given by TheAjwinner. In an <a href="https://rib.gg/series/loud-vs-team-liquid-valorant-champions-tour-2022-stage-1-masters-reykjavik-playoffs/27290" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Upper Bracket match</a> that LOUD would eventually win, they snagged their first round of the entire tournament on the back of an unreal Gustavo &#8220;<strong><a href="https://rib.gg/players/sacy/2294?section=agents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sacy</a></strong>&#8221; Rossi spray transfer.</p>



<p>He did it with a Vandal of all things. In a blink-and-you&#8217;ll-miss-it moment, <strong>Sacy</strong> peeks from behind the yellow container near Icebox&#8217;s B Site and finds four TL players waiting. He doesn&#8217;t let up on the trigger and moves his crosshair with such precision that he drops all four enemies in no time at all. Definitely worthy of the best play.</p>
