[WCT5] The Biggest USA RIVALRY in World Chase Tag! | Group C - HFR vs GNF

[@deepbhadja5730]

OH MY GOD, Davis, he EVADED Kyle, he CHASED Kyle, he has become one of the biggest threats in the tournament. And this match shows how much HF relies on Kyle.

[@sherlock4791]

Tbh kyle moves looks way more sloppy rhan his usual self we know I guess he is not warm enough or maybe theres just too much expectation in his shoulder

[@pvtleaf]

I mean omar is very good at spiking at the tc, and what happened to miguel diaz? He was also very good.

[@j4genius961]

@@sherlock4791 Yep, that's the issue with relying on one guy, even the best of the bests can have bad games, and when that happens you're screwed

[@OmarZaki]

@@pvtleaf Miguel unfortunately wasn’t able to make the trip to London to compete with us but he will be back at the World Chase TAG 6 USA competition next month 🙌🏻

[@pvtleaf]

Thanks for the info, can't wait to see him compete again!

[@CubFlanagan]

I have tremendous respect for Soderman, but it was really refreshing to see HFR's usual tactic fail. "Let's just keep putting Kyle in until we win." No disrespect to the other HFR guys, but that's been a pretty consistent pattern. And who can blame them? Soderman is normally a nuclear option...reliable and decisive. But I truly love the team aspect of WCT, and his presence nullifies the team aspect. I wish he could be in a solo tournament like the backyard flight club. It would be fascinating to see him compete solo against Deveaux, Wang, Thompson, Bergeron, etc.

[@SickRedApple]

Its a bit of a vicious circle of course, since this is not a sport they can practice too well outside of the tournement itself. So HF keep putting Kyle in, causing him to gain experience and becoming better, while the other players get less experience and improve less. Omar is still a pretty good player but I feel like some of the other team members need more time on the quad before they can really get up to the level of the other teams, which they won't get if HF keeps sending in Kyle.

[@CubFlanagan]

@@SickRedApple That is an excellent point.

[@lucafusillo5987]

I don’t think sending Kyle in all the time is the problem. The problem is, sorry if this seems a bit harsh, that the other players simply aren’t good enough to compete against the best teams. Omar Zaki is pretty good and he’s been getting better and better, but that’s pretty much it. Of course they keep sending Kyle in, he’s the only one who has a chance of evading Ruji, Davis etc.

[@dominitrov]

HF also have to realise that since Soderman had such an awesome performance evading previously, the opponents are going to do their homework and prepare for him

[@CubFlanagan]

@@dominitrov I definitely feel like that was the case with apex eth in wct USA 2. They had several players that seemed to have trained specifically to be Kyle hunters.

Such a great match!! I despair and look forward to GNF matches more than any other team! Even Apex. Well done boys. The rivalry continues! 🙌🏻

@@j4genius961 yeah, showing that much frustration as the best player(and captain) on the team could be very Demoralizing to the rest of the squad. But it was probably the first match of the day for HF, so I don’t doubt they’ll bounce back in the next match

Davis vs Kyle it's always fire 🔥. Can't wait to see this match up again. Davis takes his revenge.

[@alankritisingh4740]

I think Kyle was trying too hard to evade after he was unable to chase Davis,,and that's why he wasn't able to get any evasion cuz we all know he has great speed but the reason he got so many chases before was more because of his strategy.... Great game by GNF although my favourite player Seth looks a little bit slower now..

[@egondugas]

I think he recently came back from an injury so he may not be at 100% yet.

[@sethjumps]

Yeah, unfortunately since 2019 have had a number of ankle and knee injuries. This tournament is likely to be my last one but thank you for the support ❤️ feel free to follow me on Instagram (@sethjumps) if you still want to see what I'm up to

I mean he looked exactly like he did the last couple of years to me. Slower then WCT4 yes for sure. I’m pretty sure he’s had some bad injuries since then. He’s still an elite WCT athlete tho. Hope to see him back to his best version soon.

[@riuphane]

Man, Kyle really lost the mental battle in this one, now I need to see the other matches to figure out what got in his head. Also, great to see how much Dale has grown, but this was a tough match to watch. Envy did really well, but both teams seemed a bit rougher than normal and there was a lot of bad tension. Hope everyone is doing well

I love Sean. He was preparing for his turn. And after all he did it. He has much potential. Love to see GNF. Are learning to beat up Hollywood.

[@gabrieldiniz2504]

Its impressive how seth looks very older after each edition

[@Umi366]

It’s the beard😂

[@lucafusillo5987]

Hot take: I would love it if Soderman joined GNF. Sure it would be kind of a snakey move. But GNF would become the only team that in my opinion has a chance of beating Apex Eth. Right now I don’t see anyone beating them and a superteam might be the only solution.

[@biashacker]

"You can not escape the long arm of Sean Law!"

[@MMPK]

Omar Zaci is a savage at the Tilted Cube! Definitely the MVP for Hollywood so far! 🔥

[@ajks104]

Marcus, isn't it "Zaki"? 😅

[@AngryLink]

He definitely surprised me when he got Davis on the same tag twice. I was disappointed that he didn't seem to pay attention to his chaser against Sean Law, he really seemed like he had a chance but he just kept trying to run around the whole arena in circles then Sean cut him off at the corner when Omar could've backtracked.

[@OmarZaki]

@@AngryLink You’re totally right! I kept beating myself up after getting tagged by Sean 😆 Definitely learned my lesson and don’t plan on letting it happen again 🙌🏻👊🏻

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@darkvenom1417]

Really love this match, I really want to gnf to win wct 5 and hoping to see more action from seth because he's one my favourite player...

[@nicky.71]

GNF feel less reliant on Davis here whereas Hollywood almost feel more reliant on Kyle but maybe that's just cause they were chasing the game

[@erica8863]

It's how it has always been. Hollywood has some solid athletes but it's still mostly Kyle doing the heavy lifting. And Davis for sure is incredibly strong in his own right but all the members that went today are among the best from the US tournaments. Jarrod and Sean were the best from Antidote and No Cap. Seth has always been an amazing chaser and Julius showed a really intelligent level of chasing to keep the high ground against Kyle. Very few people actually manage to track down Kyle.

[@nt.hunter]

Dale using shin pads to slide faster could open the door for athletes to look into equipment that can give them an edge, akin to how swimmers used to have expensive full bodysuits that ended up being banned. Maybe squash that before it happens?

[@BLX187]

True.

[@CubFlanagan]

I thought the slides were awesome. Even though Dale was only in one chase and he conceded an evasion, I thought it was the most exciting and dynamic play we've seen from him.

[@nt.hunter]

@@CubFlanagan I agree. But at the same time, it could tip others towards researching any kind of gear that can help give them and edge. And since the sport is still in its infancy, things can be shaped in order to avoid controversy and have the sport be pure skill/training, not who can afford the better gear.

[@FiveN9ne]

@@nt.hunter Yep, i think it gives an unfair advantage, shouldn't be allowed

[@nt.hunter]

@@FiveN9ne or allow everyone to use a standardised shin guard. Although you can't force athletes to wear them as they aren't vital for their safety specifically for this sport where you can break your neck in a second if you step wrong.

[@KanderUdon]

GNF GNF GNF 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Ok but as a huge GNF fan it’s crazy to see how stacked their team is this year. Davis, Seth, Jarrod, and Sean is a crazy setup. They finally got soderman back for USA-4

Kyle Soderman is so salty in that first chase against his rival, Davis Vasconcellos. BTW, some of the of the members of ENVY GNF looked way different since the last time I saw them on KZbin.

[@strixcz]

It's called passion. Of course he wanted to perform better because he can. Still, even the best athletes can be outplayed which is what makes WCT so exciting!

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

Excellent match! The best I have seen since your previous upload. 😛

[@WorldChaseTag]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@blakenoah2212]

It may be beneficial to have some additional time at the end of the video with some replays of key moments or a brief moment or two with each team. My reason would be that it is easy to look at the time remaining in the video and see: “Team A is behind by 2 but team B still has a chance” *Looks at remaining time in video* “We’ll never mind, no chance of a comeback if there’s only 40s left in the video”

This is what I’m hoping to see in the upcoming USA tournament. Also, Hollywood vs Apex Doge would also be a fun and interesting matchup.

[@shaktimaan5917]

Davis got faster and he was already tricky, Kyle on the other hand always relied on speed and simple path and hasn't improved in strategy i think that's why he lost. But this time envy gnf has improved a lot.

[@thiefinthenight9492]

From the start hollywood boys were not that great without kyle. The difference maker is knowing where to put the pieces aka strategy. Kyle will always be kyle. But for now he has too much to worry about to freely focus on evading or chasing. Kyle's simple paths are his chasers worst enemy

[@strixcz]

Looks as if Davis got superpowers with his hair now :D Well played GNF! A decisive victory over -Soderman- Holywood Freerunners is not an easy feat yet they delivered!

[@mocabe01]

02:45 it should be stressed repeatedly that a tag must be visibly clear to count. honestly, a light swipe on the shoe or clothing won't always be felt by the evader. with this, perhaps more investment in high res / high fps cameras. looking forward to the increased popularity of this sport! I could hardly believe I would soon have watched every video on this channel ! lolz ! no regrets though... this is an awesome sport! 05:29 lolz !!! that merry-go-round looked silly and fun at the same time.

[@samueltsang2609]

Davis : Still a beast, found his way to get Kyle. Seem to show slight weakness/misjudgement in evading, especially in the tilted cube. Still MVP for the match. Would've liked him to either do better in juking/faking in the tilted cube area or avoid the playing around the tilted cube. Kyle: Still a scary athlete but didn't perform as well as last year. Shown holes here and there. Seth Ruji: Would've liked to see him more. Good performance in chasing, did not perform in that one evasion.
