This WORLD RECORD will NEVER be beaten! 😲 [WTC5UK - BCHvsFLD]

[@YourAverageNiche]

For the first time in WCT, we can now use the term "ONE SHOT a team" What a mad and ridiculous play this was. I immediately went to Kyle's first 6 record and I can tell you that Fluidity kinda played same as TryHardCollective back then. It is not that they are bad as athletes, it is just they lack tactics and not really fmailiar with the game, also unlucky for them they encountered one of the bestst to teach them a harsh lesson: GET GUD.

[@thelaziestluke]

As a member of fluidity- this is exactly what happened! It was a harsh, but fun lesson.

[@DavidTheGamer27]

I don't know man, at least with Kyle's match there was a chance he'd have gotten caught and he eventually did get tagged. This match almost looked staged with how bad Fluidity was. It seriously didn't look like they were even trying. Or maybe they were just too baked out of their heads to know what was going on, but this was NOT a good match since Xavia was never even in danger of being tagged once. This might have been one of the worst matches I've seen in WCT because of how bad Fluidity was.

[@derrickagozie]

I feel the tryHardCollective were much more explosive players in that match-up. Not so technically sound as you said, it was just like they were just chasing a dog that loved to run/play...but at least they gave him a run for his money.

[@onreact]

Luckily this isn't boxing people can bet on. Otherwise this would look clearly rigged LOL. Astonishingly calm approach by Xavia. Proof that peace of mind is crucial and beats haste.

[@mark030531]

that's because it probably was relative to high-level WCT standards. props to Xavia but the fact that THIS is how Kyle Soderman's WR gets beaten is just disappointing. Xavia literally just jogged around and didn't even go full sprint against any of these guys while Kyle's 6 streak left him too exhausted to get the 7th.

It’s that same technique of running that looks slower than it actually is. It’s in the body language. People who haven’t experienced it aren’t prepared for it. Dancing Mark has it. Mini Soderman has it. Xavia has it

Fluidity was fast enough. They just made a few redundant blunders and then kept on committing the same mistakes (like reaching through the bars and then falling down).

reach was their biggest weakness this time round. each time he fell back to dodge, had they had slightly longer arms they'd've gotten him... also coulda done it if they committed without the safety of grabbing rail, but thats a very understandable thing to do

[@matthasahand5495]

@@heartofdawnlight that would require freakishly long arms, a lot of them already had pretty long arms to begin with.

On multiple occasions he's INTERRUPTED opponents that wete trying to pick up the pace by going the other way, there's nothing they could do about it. There's something very unique about this guy's approach, great evaders like Kyle Soderman were able to keep their distance with their oppornents by constantly looking back to know where they were and move accordingly, but this is the FIRST time that I actually see an evader dictating the pace AND direction of the chase instead of just anticipating,that is elite level, it might look simple as it often does when great athletes do something ( everyone think they can be Tom Brady until they grab a football ) but the guy is phenomenal.

OMFG 🤣 Seeing Xavia leisurely stroll around the quad, picking points left and right while the guys from Fluidity hurl themselves at him in desperation, often getting so close yet never making contact... I didn't see that coming. They obviously lacked experience so I don't think Xavia could pull something similar against stronger teams but it was still an incredible show and a perfect display of how far can calm focus get you 💪 Can't wait to see him go against Kyle... 🔥

[@WorldChaseTag]

[@Guthix744]

Chase 7 vs Alex was a prime example of how powerful knowing your opponent's reach is. You can find examples of that in HEMA or any form of fencing... Now I lowkey want to see Xavia with a sabre :)

[@Umi366]

Great achievement for Xavia, but I believe the main problem for Fluidity is that they could never Truly commit to the dive. They would always try and catch themselves before making the tag.

[@ololo518]

Yup. Also thought that especially in second to last match. You see Fluidity player reaching to Xavia and then stopping midway to support his fall

[@yourmother5810]

yeah at around 6:18 if he would've committed to that jump he would've been in a way better position, but he held the bar.

[@AndyTomin]

Xavia is definitely a very good player, but my opinion is that Fluidity's level was unfortunately leagues under. Xavia, while being one of the best performers, would not have been able to pull the same thing off with any other team. It was a fluke.

[@ballesterosdonmoenr.3700]

[@Sumguyinavan_]

Really this just shows the inequality in the sport so early in its existence. If you've never been on the quad before, you do have a disadvantage. But how have they not watched all the videos WCT has to after in 1 weekend and see all the high eq areas, effective tactics, and player strategies? We are in a weird era of the sport where new people are coming in without the ability to have much if any experience on the equipment. Imagine sending a team into the NFL that has never stepped on a field before, held a ball, or padded up- but they played catch in the back yard for a few years so they figured theyd be fine.

Another thing is can he help carry Breach to the championship match like Kyle did for Hollywood Freerunners in their past 2 events?

[@kevintan96]

8is the maximum, because if u think about it, 16 chases in total. Lets assume xavia started evading at 1st chase instead of chasing, it means he spent 8 chases evading and the 9th being caught. The score will then at best be 8-7, so the 9th chase (aka the “1 being caught” chase) does not need to happen. And so the game ends at 8-0 after chase 8.
