Tenth place: “How much do you weigh?”

It is believed that it is not entirely correct to ask people such a question, but in certain cases the norm changes. For example, if you are a nutritionist, sports trainer or … Team Empire Valorant manager. The representative of the organization Maxim Nirvana_sf Zalilov resolved the dispute with the roster player Vadim tian Filkin in an unusual way. The esportsman tried to clarify the details about the promised salary and conditions for the team. Nirvana_sf decided to suddenly change the subject and asked the question: “How much do you weigh?” Having heard from the interlocutor that it was only 60 kg, the representative of Team Empire “politely” suggested that the player close his mouth.

Naturally, after that the phrase “How much do you weigh?” went to the fund of golden quotes, which are perfect for important showdowns in the area. You can confuse the interlocutor with this question in almost any situation. And most importantly, this meme also has an educational function, clearly demonstrating to young players that in order to get into esports, it is necessary not only to improve their skills, but also to carefully monitor their weight, otherwise problems may arise with receiving a salary.

How much do you weigh?

Ninth place: “Back in the shit climbed”

In recent years, S1mple has become much calmer compared to itself in the 2017 sample, but sometimes it still manages to unbalance it. After NAVI’s departure from ESL One: Road to Rio, one of the viewers began trolling Kostylev on Twitter. The cybersportsman decided not to restrain himself and offered the user an unusual tourist express route: “Well, I got back into the shit, quickly!”.

It is not known for certain whether the viewer took advantage of Kostylev’s advice, but he continued to troll the cybersportsman. And the community received another meme from s1mple, which was promoted by blogger Ryze. By the way, this time the fans were quite loyal to Kostylev’s emotional statement and even supported the cybersportsman in his righteous anger towards the hater, which finally legitimized the meme about the pit.

Not the most pleasant tourist trip

Eighth place: “Well leaked and leaked”

In 2023 TraVoMaN managed to participate in a whole series of conflicts with various media personalities. The blogger Morf, who released the “exposure” of Khafizov, also had certain complaints about him. In it, the streamer was accused of buying accounts, boosting MMR with the help of friends, and also leaking the rating on a friend’s profile.

TraVoMan did not pass by the Morf video and almost immediately released a video in which he tried to answer the claims against him. Some of Khafizov’s arguments looked quite convincing, but one of them turned into a meme. Answering the claim about the leaked MMR, TraVoMaN emotionally stated: “Well, you leaked and leaked, where are you going?” An almost perfect phrase for important negotiations, which was destined to become a meme. Use matchmaking, it works flawlessly!

Fifth place: “Do you have any questions?”

The duel between NAVI and forZe is one of the most scandalous CS: GO matches in 2023. Even Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov could have envied this amount of trash before and after the meeting. The hype around the match arose after the tournament organizers unexpectedly postponed the match a few hours before the start without notifying forZe. This was done due to Perfecto’s illness, which contracted COVID-19. However, after just a few hours, Zalutsky was already playing in matchmaking, which infuriated part of the community and, first of all, the forZe organization.

Any questions?

And then a real storm began on social networks: representatives of both clubs practiced their wit and showered mutual reproaches.
A few days later the match took place, and forZe won it. After that, Bogdan xsepower Chernikov published a short message in his VKontakte group: “Do you have any questions?” And then a real war of fans of both teams began in the community. After xsepower explained that his message was intended for haters, not for NAVI players, but this excuse could no longer stop the wave of negativity. But the phrase itself has become a popular meme in the CS: GO community, and the forZe organization even made a limited merch with this phrase.

So what about questions?

Fourth place: “Alexey Solo Zarplatin”

For many years Solo was associated with only one already canon meme about 322. But 2023 was able to bring something new. After several years of domination on the professional scene and especially in our region, Berezin’s roster began to slip, and the former Virtus.pro captain immediately received his portion of criticism. In the first half of the year, many accused Berezin that he had already passed the peak of his career and now just “sits on a salary.” Well, the most inventive linguists have decided to change his last name to “Zarplatin”.

They began to use this meme even more actively after the first failures of the Just Error lineup, as well as rumors that the team asked for $ 100 thousand per month from interested organizations. With each new defeat of Just Error, more and more messages dedicated to “Zarplatinum” appeared in the Twitch chat. And although later the participants of the roster said that they had refused the offer of the European club, because they were not sure of the result and did not want to “get paid”, the trolling on the part of the community could no longer be stopped. Solo was once able to get rid of the nasty stigma and become the best captain in the region, perhaps again.

Third place: “Improved”

And again TraVoman. In 2023, he became one of the most talked about Dota 2 streamers. His crusade to improve the community was not to everyone’s taste, and the very idea of ​​”improving” the atmosphere in matchmaking and reducing toxicity quickly turned into a meme. Very soon in Dota 2, the word “improved” was used to comment on any death of a hero from Techies mines. Moreover, the meme was liked even by professional players and streamers, who can be attributed to Miner haters.
But in 2023 he “improved” not only TraVoMaN, but also his haters, who perceived Khafizov’s idea a little differently. In recent months, the main streamer account in Dota 2 has been banned four times after massive reports. And every new blocking part of the community met with the “Improved” meme.

Are you already improved?

Second place: “S1mple – stone”

In 2023, s1mple was once again one of the best players on the professional CS: GO scene. Commentators and fans did not skimp on compliments addressed to him, but some of them were rather strange and specific – one of the fans decided to call Kostylev “Stone”. Moreover, so that the meme would surely gain a foothold in the community, the enthusiast edited the s1mple page on Wikipedia, turning it into the story of one talented stone: “Professional Ukrainian e-sportsman, also known as Sasha Kamen. Achievements: the best stone of 2018 in CS: GO discipline. In 2019 he took second place in the list of the best stones of the year … “.

The meme was appreciated not only by the fans, but also by Kostylev himself, who read the funniest fragments of the modified article on the stream. The popularity of the nickname was also reinforced by blogger Rise, who repeatedly called s1mple so in his videos. After that, all NAVI CS: GO matches began to be accompanied by massive spam of “stones” in the chat on Twitch broadcasts. In any case, “stone” sounds more proud and courageous than “creepy-cry”, so s1mple can be pleased with the creativity of its fans.
