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

[@dominicchavez2913]

I think Jared definitely had to be the fastest through the mountain. That speed step is just unreal so casual

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, for sure!! That vault in chase 4 was ridiculous!!!

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...

[@LINKedup101]

[@dinowibisono99]

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! 😳 🏃‍♂️💨

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!).

[@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.

[@gunfun7772]

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

[@chiraggera3160]

Jarrod was excellent but i just felt that the Empire were a lil casual at times, hoping for more great matches in the next round of group C.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

"Either way, apologies to Gordo and Team Empire for the error and very much hope this doesn't happen again in the future. " Good way to avoid spoilers, you don't commit to saying it doesn't happen, you also don't make it feel like it will happen. Good phrasing.

[@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.

[@smashingpumpkin5405]

Jared was incredible in this match and how often do you see 3 points from one person.

[@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

[@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.

hey runners, dont stop and look its harder 2 start back running full force

[@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.

[@MMPK]

Yeah its the first event for these refs in America where as the Uk refs have at least 4 events under their belt. With time these problems should iron them selfs out
