[WCT USA] - Group C - Team Empire v No Cap

Jarrod definitely has the potential to become one of the star players of the sport. His pace and technique is already fantastic which will only improve with experience.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Totally agree!!!!

[@passerbylau4979]

And now he joined team GNF 😍

[@walllight15]

I very appreciate your transparency with faults. Nevertheless Jarrod is awesome!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Cheers Walllight. Yeah, Jarrod is amazing - can't wait to see him compete again!!

[@Delfontes]

If they think they got a tag they should just keep chasing (maybe get a clearer one) and call it out after so they don't have to re run it. Otherwise making them run again more tired is unfair to the one being chased.

[@LegitosaurusRex]

@@Delfontes Yes, which is why he didn't call it and kept chasing. As noted in the description, the referees called the tag, then took it back.

[@JasperSchwinghammer]

@@Delfontes missing completely the point...

Duuude, whole team no cap is FLYING around the squad. Jarred and Joey are so incredible quick, its unreal

[@janeweber8654]

2:13 That was the smoothest jump over the bar under the mountain I think I've ever seen! People seem to reliably try going over it and slowing down a ton, but that was incredible!

[@MMPK]

That gap is soo small to fit through as well! 😳 🏃‍♂️💨

[@kasiapaucka9184]

Really impressed by Jarrod - he definitely knows how to exploit the obstacles to his own advantage, and being a smaller player, he moves smoothly through spaces that a higher athlete would definitely had trouble with. A small but classy detail - the way he bounced to the side at 4:16 was an unexpected move for sure

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, Jarrod was very impressive and agile (like that little direction change you highlighted!!), can't wait to see him compete more!!

[@rahmatramadhan9874]

Also, regarding refereeing and the DTR, it's great that you're transparent on the KZbin replays with what happened. Chase Tag is developing and any spotted mistakes can be prevented in the future either through training, systems, or something else.

[@Michael_Deti]

This was a roller coaster of a match. I think we got to see pretty much the whole spectrum of "World Chase Tag", as in the level of play. In my mind No Cap was the clear favorite, they seemed so much better prepared for WCT, especially with Joey in their team. That's why I was very much confused in the first chase, when Wes stopped and turned and was caught immediately. Now - After watching the match I still think No Cap did the better job - or should we say Jarrod?! I also loved how Joey chased, just to be over-shadowed by Falco and his - I want to say insane - walk-up, letting four seconds pass and still getting the catch. He looks like a strong chaser, as opposed to what he said in the interview (if I'm correct). Interesting match, a very unfortunate DTR decision even though I think No Cap would have won either way... No caps were harmed in the writing of this comment.

[@alexbevan2183]

There were some very interesting tactics used by empire this match in regards to the lazy boi (front left corner for anyone not familiar) some great hoarding going on to get the evader idling in the corner at a deceptively low EQ area. Will definitely be watching out for that tactic in future. The other suprise this match was the speed at which Jarrod got through the mountain! That is literally the fastest anyone has gotten through the mountain in WCT history I believe!

[@wctfans2312]

Mistakes happen! However, respect for the championship referees, they do an amazing job! 🙌 🙌 🙌 #RefereesArePeopleToo

[@WorldChaseTag]

Cheers WCT Fans. Yeah, it's a difficult job and in the heat of the moment we totally overlooked that mistake. Lesson learnt.

[@tanmaybhayani]

@@WorldChaseTag It should be like, if the chaser appeals by raising his has hand 🙋‍♂️, that he thinks the tag is made, then the lights go red. If the evader thinks tag is not made, he can challenge it. Because by the current rules if the referee thinks the tag is made, even though the chaser knows the tag is not made, the light will turn red and in the DTR the evader will get the evasion. I think this should be incorporated. btw I love watching this sport👍, that’s why I want it to be better.

[@Andrealves3002]

@@tanmaybhayani That's not how it works actually. If the referee stop the chase and he is wrong, the chase is made again. That's why the evasion was a mistake from the WTC.

[@kevind3974]

i think falco might have been the first guy to use an intimidation approach. that's an interesting way to flush someone out

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, one of the teams (Fade) used that technique at our very first event (i.e. The Storror Chase-Off) but when we added more EQ to the Quad for the 2nd event it didn't really work anymore. Falco brought it back though and it worked well. There's a really weird unpredictability when someone is moving forward so slowly.

[@kevind3974]

@@WorldChaseTag ya its unpredictable because you know their lining you up and cuting off your pathing. so in the end the game is whos first to pounce

[@yannispiette6372]

Well done on being so clear about the tricky situations, it's really important to have ! Jarrod was very impressive with his routing, same for Joey's way of getting up the mountain

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, it's good for everyone to understand the process and, even so, in the heat of the moment, mistakes can happen. Joey and Jarrod have crazy potential!!! (Joey has obviously exceeded his potential already but I mean in WCT!!).

[@gunfun7772]

No cap coming out of nowhere with the best overall evasions I've ever seen

[@Sanhlami]

Jarod's vault through the mountains is exactly the type of progress in WCT I'm liking to see. That's usually the slowdown point of chases but he found a way to keep the speed. I'm expecting more people who fit through there, will be using it like that more often now. Good shit!

[@lovelypacific]

2:13 just blew my mind... Soo important to know how to exploit your body type for the quad!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Hi Ana - yeah, it was crazy how fast he took that vault!!

[@mustanseersaify1501]

there is great potential in Jarrod . He can become a great name in this sport like Haroon and Caril and many more...

[@LetsChat]

Jarrod. Next level footwork and juking.

[@haydenadams3308]

That vault on the mountain is a GAME CHANGER. I cannot imagine people not trying to emulate that. That's the fastest I've seen someone move through the mountain and he goes down initially, I assume to push off better and use that momentum to go higher and make the vault. But to be fair to both teams there was some really interesting movement in the open parts of the quads. The field sport experience seems to have some advantage there. I'd love to see how a soccer player, who is all about short burst sprints, quick turns and body feints; would do. Some kind of Lionel Messi player who uses good shoulder and hip feints to move one way and then burst the other in open space.

[@crocodilegena4850]

Check Jared's biography, it should have something about him getting struck by lightning. The agility of this man is unnatural. It's ok to be agile like that if you're a cat, not the man.

Jarrod could be best player i have ever seen in this game, what a talent! I really would like to watch NO CAP versus UNITED one day🙏

[@FlavioBozzoli]

There is a lot of parkour in Group C. Very good, everyone. But Jarrod is superior than another category. He has everything: speed, agility, technique, intuition, and he can make a lot of fake to trick the opponent.

[@MMPK]

He makes it look easy! 😳

[@Orangepie86]

His Instagram is insane. Crazy flips and freestyle

[@traceurs619]

Both teams are really great! No Cap pretty much had everything, and although Empire wasn’t that fast(but nowhere near slow), their smart vault choices and agility really proved that speed isn’t everything;) but speed IS very much needed so I know they’ll work on that. But man, am I freakin excited to see Joey backXD Always loved that guy!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Ha - Cheerss. Thankfully it doesn't happen again at this event. We get plenty more DTRs but never a case when like this when the chaser wasn't given the opportunity to get a second tag.

[@MikeNay]

@@WorldChaseTag This was a huge turning point in the match, and could send Empire home.. there should be a way for them to dispute the ruling and the match like there is in many other sports. As a casual unbiased observer, seeing something like this really ruins the whole match for me. Just seems playground level bush league.

[@WorldChaseTag]

@@MikeNay Firstly, they could have disputed it but they didn't. It was only in hindsight that we realised re-running the chase would have been the better option. Secondly, mistakes happen in every sport, even in sports with multi-million dollar budgets. Football / soccer is the biggest sport in the world. How many times have international matches been effected by bad decision-making despite their multi-million dollar budgets? Many, many times. Does that make them playground level bush league? No, of course not. When we make a mistake we point it out and make a note of how we can improve. If you don't like that then this is not the sport for you.

[@MikeNay]

@@WorldChaseTag sure. but this was just such an obvious obvious error in judgement. I realized it within 2 seconds of it happening before I even read the explanation. Not "better option". Try "Only fair option". better luck next time.

[@khymjubindultra457]

is it me or... in chase 9 falco catch up to their technique where no cap uses fakes where they move to a certain direction were they are not going so that there opponent would overthink and lose some millisecond and to that advantage team empire would choose to chase them down, forgetting to cut their way through because of the fakes and all that thinking. Falco slow down with no hint of of which direction he is going, making it reverse uno card and make no cap to overthink and just stay where they are standing, so that their technique would be destroyed. sorry for my bad grammar

If Surge would have gone round the back of the Tilted Cube instead of cutting into the Mountain, I think there's a good chance he would have got the Evasion.

[@Romanslost]

No cap did in fact deliver, noice. Jarrod is such an agile monster on the course, and Kaden is a favorite as well. Also is it just me or does Surge from empire have a slight resemblance to the character Mickey from shameless (U.S)?

[@tanmaybhayani]

Hey I have a suggestion. Why don’t you make it like the chaser has to appeal to the referee for the tag. And in any dispute we can go to DTR. That will eliminate the possibility when the referee thinks tag is made but the chaser knows it’s not made, and then it will go to DTR and the evader will get the evasion for no fault of the chaser.

[@YourAverageNiche]

I think that the problem with the referees is that they rush the judgement because they have such pressure from everyone watching and waiting. The key is simple: referees should take their time like the VAR in football. No rushing, they just keep rewinding same scene over and over, while consulting with their peers to come up with the most fair verdict. I noticed that in almost all WCT matches. They rush the verdict. No pressure, referees, take your time when rewinding and fairly consult with your peers. Even if it takes around 30 seconds, do it. A late fair verdict is better than an unfair rushed one.
