2025 was a crazy year for esports on Twitch! I remember everyone going wild when Team Liquid finally took the Race to World First in World of Warcraft – it was a huge moment for the whole community. And s1mple, playing for FaZe Clan, pulled off some absolutely insane plays – one clip, in particular, just blew up everywhere online. It wasn’t all wins though, some of the most-viewed clips were… well, let’s just say they weren’t exactly celebratory. Anyway, here’s a rundown of the top 5 Twitch clips from 2025.

Top 5 Twitch clips 2025

#5 Team Falcons players lose on Inferno

A clip of Team Falcons losing a seemingly guaranteed round in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) became one of the most-watched esports moments on Twitch in 2025, according to Esports Charts. During the BLAST.tv Austin Major, they were unable to win a crucial round on Inferno despite having a significant player advantage (five versus three). A series of errors cost them the round, the map, and ultimately the entire series, ending their run in the Major and denying Nikola “NiKo” Kovač another championship. This unexpected outcome likely surprised many who bet on esports events.

#4 Team Liquid players claim RWF victory in 2025

Team Liquid kicked off 2025 with a major win, becoming the first team to complete the challenging ‘Race to World First’ content in World of Warcraft. You can watch them defeat the final raid boss in the video below, after days of intense gameplay. The team was ecstatic, celebrating with shouts of disbelief as their victory became real. This win marked the beginning of a successful year, as Team Liquid went on to win two more ‘Race to World First’ competitions later in 2025.

#3 OxygeN during the CCT Series

The focus is back on competitive Counter-Strike 2, specifically a questionable play by Blagoy “oxygeN” Dimitrov during a match against Partizan Esports. Viewers spotted unusual movements with his mouse and began carefully reviewing the footage, frame by frame, to investigate.

Following accusations made against him on X (formerly Twitter), oxygeN has denied any wrongdoing and offered to fully cooperate with tournament officials. He clarified that a circulating clip was misrepresented and taken out of context. He also voiced concern about the threats he and his family have received. oxygeN stated he’s prepared to provide any necessary information to clear his name and is taking a break from social media due to the overwhelming amount of baseless hate and threats.

#2 S1mple at IEM Dallas 2025

S1mple quickly proved his worth after joining FaZe Clan temporarily. In a recent play from IEM Dallas 2025 on the map Mirage, he impressively got four kills using the AWP sniper rifle. He landed three of those kills very quickly one after another, reminding everyone that even a typical play from s1mple is remarkable.

#1 Team Liquid ultimate versus The MongolZ on Mirage

The most popular esports clip on Twitch in 2025 featured a surprising moment from Team Liquid’s Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak during a CS2 match on Mirage. While his teammate was eliminated, Tomkowiak froze instead of firing, remaining unnoticed by the enemy team. They eventually spotted him, leading to a swift end to the round. The commentators were shocked, and the clip quickly became a viral sensation within the CS2 community.
