Tag World Championship Final! | Apex ETH 🇺🇸 vs Parkour 59 🇫🇷

[@jwrathall]

Can we just acknowledge for a moment the quality Parkour 59 brought this tournament? We'll no doubt see them more often. Props Apex ETH! You guys are ridiculously savage

[@apexmovement]

thank you!

[@jjprempeh2508]

The thing is that they played so well against elite teams like GNF and team phat, only to have no answers for APEX ETH. It shows how high above apex is from everyone

[@MrShtrudL]

Man the level of performance from the contestants is getting so much better throughout the years

The strategies and tactics are being concentrated 😮‍💨 not to mention the fitness 💪🏾😮‍💨

[@anonuser12345]

Agreed, and it makes the sport even better. When they showed the kids cheering at the end my thought was "just wait until people who grow up watching and practising are playing"

[@bearschneider9183]

For real. Watching WCT4 vs this is insanely different. Not a single team from then could have even come close to finals this year

[@ltchen8327]

Makes me think of decline in performance from Kyle Soderman. In WCT5 it feels like his speed and agility are still way above the competition, but his strategies seemed... off-meta, I guess.

[@apexmovement]

Much love & respect to all our fellow competitors and supporters. Thank you WCT for the opportunity to compete in such epic events!!

[@liandryss905]

I love how Naim is just down to let his body hit the floor just to get the tag! I know it's not really good for your body and not everyone has that instinct to just throw themselves into the evader... But at the end of the day, you gotta do what you gotta do. Massive props to PK59 for their brilliant performance throughout this entire tournament and massive congratulations for APEX ETH for truly living up to their name as the apex of WCT!

[@Sumguyinavan_]

They just seem to be the perfect specimens for this sport being small enough to fit through gaps easily and get under, but having the power to launch themselves around and over obstacles as needed, with afterburners for creating distance.

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

I've said it before, but I want to acknowledge again one of the underappreciated aspects of the event: the onscreen scoreboard graphics. They were originally very basic and have changed a number of times. As of late, I feel they have found the perfect balance of being easy to read and giving all of the needed information without taking up a ton of space.

[@Speedy-hj5yn]

Give Parkour 59 credit. Not only because they made it to the finals on their first tournament appearance, they also pulled off some shocking upsets against Marreo Gang, ENVY GNF and Team Phat. I knew that going up against APEX ETH is their biggest challenge and even though they didn’t get the win, I hope they keep those shocking upset highlights.

[@Karasman]

Props to Jason. That tag at 2:54 was amazing!!! And that chase by Olof was also breathtaking. Congrats to entire Apex ETH team. Greetings from Czech Republic!

[@Octobouch]

I also feel the next match, Olof just stood still a couple seconds in a vulnerable place to make sure his opponent was okay even though it was game match.

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Gotta give credit to Parkour 59, they had to get some big wins to make it this far and they had some really good tags throughout this match. Apex Eth is the clear best team for sure but the fact that their competition is so strong despite that is a testament to the level of play among these teams, what an incredible tournament all around!

[@zsht]

Apex have moved the sport forward with their intense style and stacked roster. Nice to see Loic Georgi present them the award.

[@nathanthenamelessninja5572]

Pure domination. The competition has been absolutely incredible this year, a level of WCT that is higher than ever. And APEX ETH absolutely crushed it.

[@apexmovement]

Belle performance de Parkour 59 !!! Malgré cette défaite en finale face à Apex ETH (la marche était trop haute), on retiendra le formidable parcours des Nordistes et leurs exploits face à Marrero Gang, United, GNF ou encore Phat... LA REVELATION de ces championnats du monde ! Au passage, bravo à Apex ETH pour ce titre de champion du monde

[@GlucoseGuy]

You could feel the energy from the get go. The teams were so hyped to be in the final, they were going all out. Terrific match!

[@josestirtabudi6247]

Finally!!! Now I don't have to be hitting refresh on my KZbin to see if WCT posted. 1. Seth Wang just can't get that evasion. It looked like he ran the same route as Jason. 2. Jason has turned into a monster compared to their debut 3. Naim's drop-down tag to then get 12 seconds evading was hectic considering he seemed to be limping after the fall Apex E is 🔥🔥🔥

[@erica8863]

Yeah, Jason's improvement is incredible. I'll have to go back and see if he had a bit of luck running into weak chasers but he's pretty much entered the Rob/Michael tier of elite two way players. It's entirely reasonable to say that Eth had the top 3 overall players at this competition and it's not like Seth/Olof are slouches either.

[@josestirtabudi6247]

@@erica8863 He was always fast, but especially this competition, he seems to have really picked up with his ability to get evasions with some fancier moves. I love the way he pushes off the sisters to double back.

[@strixcz]

2:50 Damn, how does one evade _this_ ??! 😅 Jason is like a missile locked on target! 🚀 Anyway, congrats to both teams! PK59 did incredibly well for their first WCT event while APE met (and maybe even exceeded) the already sky-high expectations for their performance. Wow 🔥

[@qwertyTRiG]

Parkour 59's first official event. They've been in a few Flight Club events which can be seen on the WCT EMEA KZbin channel.

[@petesheppard7778]

Big congratulations to Apex ETH! I've been watching WCT for a couple of years now and the standard has undeniably improved MASSIVELY in that time, yet Amos Rendao has nurtured not one, but two killer teams that are right at the top of this sport. Massive respect to Parkour 59 coming in as underdogs and putting it all out there to reach the final. A stellar achievement. This is my new favourite sport. I'd love to try it myself, but I'm 47 years old and I'd end up damaging myself beyond repair very quickly methinks. But I can watch and I'm very interested to see where WCT goes and how it develops in the future. It's freakin' awesome.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Glad to know that, at 39, I'm not the oldest person in the fandom.

It's the result so many of us expected, but it's still a marvel to watch ETH work. Case in point: in the first four PK59 evasion attempts, the ETH chasers caught them in under 7 seconds each time. Crazy.

[@KanderUdon]

Yeah the thing is, apex was always going to win. Their team is literally perfect: insane taggers, great evaders, tons of experience, and no weak points. Their play is simply on another level compared to all other teams in the tournament. Still, I have hope for GNF next year

[@squaresphere]

It was a very tight match-up until the 1st points. P59 did a great job being competitive, keep in mind they're still a new team! I think with another season or two to grow they could be even stronger! ApexE? What can you say? They are the pinnacle team to beat! For sure enjoy the lime light and thanks for pushing the peak of WCT further!

[@qwertyTRiG]

I said before the tournament started that the winning team would be either French or American, but I was thinking Blacklist or United, not PK59. An amazing performance. And Apex Eth remains undefeated. They've never lost a match. (Well, I've not yet seen WCT 6 USA, and don't know what happened there, so maybe they have, but somehow I doubt it.)

[@sorin_markov]

From even the hype video we got for this team before WCT USA 4, I said these guys were gonna be dangerous. Even still, they have improved *massively* since then and continue to get better in every match I see from them

[@DeathTheKid4]

Apex ETH are just too good man. I'm looking forward to see if anyone can beat them. I saw people in the comments section proposing an All star team to face them. For me the picks would be relatively easy at this moment of time: Orlando and Luke Stones (Phat) Xavia (Breach) Davis (Envy GNF) Kyle (Hollywood Freerunners) Haroon (UGen) Of course others could be considered as well, UGen has other amazing players, such a shame they weren't fit this time around, Envy GNF has also other good players, there are a lot of great French players from PK59, Blacklist and United especially but we need to see them perform more. Caryl from United would be a great shout but we didn't see him this time around.

Since everyone's creating teams for yours truly, Apex. Here's mine to possibly beat them. Orlando - Phat Kyle - Hollywood Davis - GNF Haroon - UGEN Caryl - United (the one that won the last World Chase Tag) The thing is. EVERYONE on Apex's roster are all hella consistently good. Like there's not a weak link or inexperienced individual. Which means that the team that matches up to them has to be consistent and good as well.

[@c.f7611]

I feel like Orlando can evade all of Apex except maybe Rob. He’s just a prodigy at Chase Tag and parkour

[@adammiira]

@@c.f7611 rob isn't even that fast. He's smart. You're overlooking Michael who is a beast in chasing, Jason and Seth who are two blurs of lightning.

not only are they the USA champs for the whole country but now the WORLD champs. thats huge. they are scary good. who will finally dethrone them? these other teams need to really organize strategize and step it up if there gonna beat them. they need to train hard and play harder. apex eth doesnt care about the bars they will dive and dash as hard and as fast as they can to get tags and evasions and that seems to be what works. if other teams even wanna stand a chance at winning over the title they need to be more fearless.

[@desputnikcommander]

I don't agree. See Andy from UGIN, he is reckless. APEX is just controlled. They individually are top notch, although only scratching top 3. But they are all on that level. That is why they always win.

[@mysterio7626]

@@mechared3210 now, when you are in final, it's luck. perfect, i will try next year...

[@fightsgiantrobots]

Such a good match. Such a good way to end the tournament! I think both teams were pretty even tactics wise but Apex has 2 huge legs up -- raw speed and threading. Jason is such a good example. The dude can do these huge jukes because he can close distance between obstacles so fast that it looks like he's already taking a route vs most other players who have to sort of gesture in the direction they want to indicate. Threading-wise the entire team is comfortable getting high powered dives through basically every obstacle, but Seth and Jason both to quote the commentators are "just ethereal." Can't wait to see how europeans challenge them next time around.

[@qwertyTRiG]

That threading is a distinct weakness of some teams. I can see some chosing to train specifically for that skill before the next event. I saw someone point out that Phat, for example, rarely go through obstacles.

[@liandryss905]

@@qwertyTRiG Yeah, during Phat's match against PK59 both points given could've been prevented if Abdullah tried going for dives. He was so close everytime and could've definitely touched the evader if he went through the obstacles. Another massive advantage APEX ETH has, along with other teams who train on the quad (some teams have their own, or have access, or have official local WCT events) is obstacle familiarty. You can see both ETH and DOGE's foot placement are almost always on-point because they already know the quad like the back of their hand. This also ties in with your point in threading and diving!

[@fightsgiantrobots]

​@@liandryss905 Yeah Abdullah was first on my mind there. Phat probably could have easily sent Eth to sudden death if they'd had those dives (and some experience evading them) in their repertoire. And totally, the quad familiarity is huge. I saw Jason in the comments here mentioning how much they drilled some of their threading and routs and it absolutely shows. I imagine that also just compounds with their speed, meaning they're regularly practicing tactics to deal with players who can just blast through an obstacle or catch whoever on a straight.
