The Chase Tag Action HEATS Up in Group B! | All Matches

[@riuphane]

District looking super impressive! Also, Joey's commentary is not only incredibly well spoken, but very insightful and respectful, really enjoying it!!

[@josestirtabudi6247]

Ollo missing Stephen. I'm missing Iceman and Seth 😭 So many awesome moments though. Love the release of the whole group at once!

[@appletree13]

Something I like about District: They have a fair amount of depth in their roster. They don't have any outstanding players (like Kyle Soderman for example), but they don't have anyone they're afraid of playing either. They also made sure to get nearly everyone on the quad at least once in their first match, which gave them ALL valuable practice.

[@HerrVonBlitzkrieg]

Definitely an underdiscussed attribute, and one that seems to be a major predictor of success. One of the reasons both Apex teams have been so effective is that there are really no weak links on the roster, so they're guaranteed beneficial match-ups when going against any other team that priorities a star player or starting lineup once those players have been cycled through (like we've seen in Moon/HF matches or to a lesser degree with last group's Sun/Tempest). As comp levels continue to grow, roster depth and composition is going to play an increasingly large role imo

[@appletree13]

@@HerrVonBlitzkrieg yeah, it's a lot like other sports too (soccer/football comes to mind). I feel like to stop the "prioritise players xyz above all else" thing they should add an "each team member must participate in at least one chase" rule, which I feel would incentivise teams to diversify more and create interesting strategy dynamics, because let's face it; there's a lot of varying skill between each competitor,

[@WCTFanChannel]

District beat my expectations coming into this tournament. For first-timers, they were crazy! And the win against Ollo was mad. Congrats to all the teams involved. Many of the match results in group B were surprising :0

[@appletree13]

Yeah definitely! Though it certainly helped them that Ollo were lacking McCarty. Hannigan and the Velociraptor took on a lot of chases earlier on and that left them drained.

[@gabrielcat72]

Playing WCT was the most fun I've had in years !! Excited for next pan-am :) This stuff is hype

[@letstalkfiction5187]

What a group! District proving they’re solid, OLLO taking down GNF, and Stephen having a kid. There was so much going on here, and kudos to WCT for bringing us these matches

[@dcm0rood]

Man Sean Law's evading was a good kind of different, loved it.

[@leth5540]

Sean Law so far is by far an absolute favorite player of the tournament. A perfect mix of creative and lethal!

[@yusaki8064]

I definitely don’t have a hobby of spotting other athletes in the background of these. Is that Jess Chan from Kunoichi I see? 3:18

[@enzoli23]

I guess she's a photographer of the event as well? I noticed her in Group A matches too :)

[@RobL-vj8vc]

This new canadian team though ! I liked how they went through all of their roster and made everyone play and get their first time on the quad. They very well could've done like Hollywood freerunners and play the same 2-3 players that seem to perform best and be really competitive about it... But canadians being canadians I love it XD And despite doing so, they performed very well. All their athletes are strong and so, they gained a new fan lol

[@appletree13]

They have a pretty deep roster to be fair. There's no crazy good player, but they all seem to be at a fairly high level. As a canadian myself, I'm really proud of these guys!

[@Atmatan]

What other sport do you know that takes place outside the bedroom ends in a hug between players after EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH??? That's wholesome.

[@Zeecarver]

Roland hitting the Griddy was nice. Shoutouts to my Canadians putting on a solid show, let's hope they fire up for the next round!

[@HerrVonBlitzkrieg]

Sooo proud of my countrymen in District!! Some inexperience shown in some interactions early on, but absolutely incredible instincts and ability on display in others, especially for a team making their WCT debut 🔥🇨🇦 Standout performances from Jake for APK Grey, Sean for GNF, and Roland for Ollo as well! The latter team was *definitely* hindered by the loss of their captain, and that exposed a pretty insurmountable skill gap they'll need to reconcile with in future comps. Huge congrats to Steez regardless, pretty inarguable reason for bowing out early haha

Gabriel catudal from District looks like Richard Thompson from Ugen a bit of their faces.

[@gabrielcat72]

hahahaha i'll take that as a compliment :P

@@gabrielcat72 Yeah you are a bit like him with the beard and the eyes hair even too if it's faded enough.

[@devlindoesthings]

Sean Law might be one of my new favourite athletes, some really creative evasions going on there!

[@AJB4D]

God I love this sport. More good sportsmanship than all other sports combined. Congratulations to the new baby and props for dropping out to be there for his first child. That's a win for the whole team!

[@StephenMccarty]

Thank you 💜

[@josestirtabudi6247]

Cheers to all the athletes for entertaining me with your fabulous fitness and tag skills!!

[@felipeb8735]

It felt weird to see the match between OLLO and GNF without Davis, Ruji, Stephen and even Sean Higgins, who looked like a very good member of OLLO last time. I want to see both teams facing off with all their best players P.S: the chase from Roland and Dylan was great to see, there's potential in them

[@tyreeneshane.]

Im glad you guys are back to uploading on YT regularly!

[@yusaki8064]

Gonna call Sean Law the MVP of this group.

[@arandolph846]

What is the math that writes Ollo as leaving before their match with GNF? District 1 win 2 loss, Ollo ends with 1 win 2 loss, I can only think it as settling through total points scored which isn't known for Ollo beginning the match? 54:31 1-0 round 6: "As things stand Ollo are looking to sign off with a victory"

[@enzoli23]

I assume the tiebreaker is head-to-head results, and since District beat Ollo, it wouldn't change anything.

[@enzoli23]

In case of equal points, head-to-head results are the tiebreaker, right? Funfact, if it was decided by point difference (and then more points scored), APK Grey would be first with 6 points and 6:4 diff, while GNF would be second with also 6 points and 5:3 diff. (District beats OLLO h2h and on points diff as well.)

[@AKON22]

Congrats to the baby they truly are a blessing🎉

[@Xarosai]

I disagree with the ref's call in the DTR between Brian and Joey!! He definitely touched Brian's shirt just before the lights turned green...

Why the new format of all group matches in one video, WCT?

[@williamoskerson1218]

District is looking promising, I hope I see them next tourney. I do think they got robbed on that last tag w/the predator. Looked like he made the tag before the lights went green. I’m not the head red so I can’t say for certain. I freaking love this sport!

Okay, serial question though: where do i go and put my money to be able to see the whole thing already? Cuz (unless I'm horribly mistaken) it must've happened in a span of two days or so, several weeks or so ago? Like, is there some grand design behind these things popping up sliced up so (apart from (sadistically) keeping us lot interested without an increase in event frequency)? Some capitalization model I'm desperately unaware of? And is there any way to "cheat" that design? Cuz I'd totally pay for this...

[@privatenineNaturalWoman]

Is it the SOUND or the LIGHT that determines the tag time? The tag was made AFTER the signal and then the light went off. Dude was cheated out of his evasion, from my slow-mo.

[@appletree13]

If it's a DTR it's generally the ref's decision, but they do often base it on the lights going green. My guess is because it's simply easier to see.

[@qwertyTRiG]

​@@appletree13That's what the light is for, really.

I love how the refs 99 per cent of the time always give the right decision. If you watch football(or soccer for americans), you will see how the refs most of the time give the wrong decision

[@blueranger-oy6ru]

Well, you can't blame them. They lost their captain due to personal reasons.

Note to lazy commentators: stop it with the tundra jokes, it's trite and boring. There could be a lot of stereotypes about the States the rest of the world could make in sports commentary, just saying.

Dan Dawson is English, not American. And I think he was making a Quebec joke, not a general Canada joke.
