ICONIC Esports Moments: EVO Moment 37 – "The Daigo Parry" (Street Fighter)

In the history of esports, certain highlights have managed to transcend games – plays so incredible that no fan, regardless of game loyalty, can deny their brilliance.

Think of Dota 2’s “the Play”, coldzera’s Jumping AWP in CS:GO and League of Legends’ “the xPeke”. However, before any others is one that stands alone – a play which is arguably the original iconic esports moment and is quite possibly the most influential of them all: EVO Moment 37.
