[WCT5-USA] Qualifiers - No Cap v OLLO

No Cap v OLLO was definitely one of the best matches of the tournament. There were so many incredibly close chases, with 7 tags happening after 15 seconds. The average chase time for this match was 15.4 seconds which is significantly above the tournament average of 13 seconds (there's only one other match with a longer average chase time but it hasn’t been released yet!).
These two teams have met before in last year’s US Championship and ended up going to Sudden Death. Check it out here: • [WCT USA] - Playoff 3 ...

[@wenxinyangg]

As someone that was there to see this live, this match was unbelievable. By match 11, I was sad that one of these two teams wouldn't move forward because they were both playing so well.

[@emickitsen4307]

It was an amazing match and we were sad too 😭

[@17mg92]

I so damn want to see this in real life

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, this was a crazy match to watch live!!! Very sad to see see one of these teams not continue!

[@WorldChaseTag]

@@emickitsen4307 Yes, it was a real shame because the OLLO team were looking very strong - can't wait to see you guys compete again!!

[@Billsybub]

If I'm not mistaken, this match has provided the latest tag of this competition with only .2 seconds left on the clock and one of the previous playoff matches had a tag at 2.7 seconds so that is the fastest one so far I believe. Oh this year is going to be GOOOOOOOD!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yes, I'm pretty sure that is the latest tag of the season so far!!

[@gigagargantuar5472]

i dont think it is, watch the first chase in samurai 7 vs ashigaru

[@Opsity]

There was a chase on backyard flight club that was stopped at 19.8 as well

[@gigagargantuar5472]

@@Opsity kazuya vs norman is 19.9

[@jasonknox-lee1490]

I love watching this. The atleticism it takes to move seamlessly through this area is amazing. It doesn't matter to me who wins it's entertaining to watch.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, there was a lot of athleticism in display in this match - two very strong teams!!!!

[@youknow2849]

I agree completely I'm not on any side I just enjoy watching its different from the norm in mainstream sports. I dig it

[@Johnismybestfriend]

This match was amazing! Adrian is such a beast, that first tag was maybe one of the best I've ever seen on WCT!

[@WorldChaseTag]

He is indeed - over the last two US events, Joey has been involved in some crazy chases!!

[@leongrant3151]

Haha true his fronflip tag was amazing!

[@carsonpalmer1649]

I don’t think people know how much backstory there is to this match!! this was one of the best games of the tournament !!!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Can't wait for the No Cap v OLLO trilogy match!!!

[@emickitsen4307]

Oh geez a third match would so much tension!

[@alonelywalker6602]

What a wicked back and forth from these two teams. I was impressed from the very first round

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, right from the first chase, this match had some crazy action!!

[@priyanshuraghuvansh1223]

It's good to see new and old players together.

[@inkedProdigy]

Wow how everything lead to that final round was perfect. Definitely a top favorite WCT video.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Glad you liked it Inked!!!

[@Humandavid1]

Insane!! Joey was on fire! All the chases were so fast. It felt like both teams were giving it their all.

[@WorldChaseTag]

The Joey v Stephen chases were particularly intense!!!

[@andreww1439]

This was one of the best matches! These guys can run faster on rails than most can on the ground. Unbelievable.

[@MMPK]

Insane Match!!! Best of the qualifiers for sure!

[@WorldChaseTag]

For sure!!

[@wctfans2312]

Instant like. Both teams grab every chance to continue to compete in this championship. And it's great, especially knowing that there were reshuffles in both teams! 👏

[@WorldChaseTag]

Can't wait for the third match in the No Cap v OLLO trilogy!!

[@pretzelkch8322]

The way Adrian traverses the quad is unreal. This game was so close I got WCT 4 finals feels!

[@strixcz]

When your only hope to win hinges on outrunning Joey it's basically a GG... :) Beautiful match! Not much idling or strategy, just pure battle of speed and dexterity - and I loved it!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, it's true - try little idling in this one!! Just all out pace!

[@ProvencaLeGaulois]

Joey is just on another level, it's amazing to watch!

[@l.k.9666]

The run between Naji and Stephen was fantastic. I like Naji's style.

[@TedHolmwood]

Adrian coming through for No Cap with the precision foot placement on those strides up high. That first tag was insane!! What a good match up.

[@sephiroth21347]

I think what makes this sport so enjoyable is just how much fun everyone seems to be having/how good of sports everyone is whether they win or lose. Almost every round has the pair helping each other back up or going for a handshake and/or hug. Everyone lets our their inner-kid in a game like this and its always fun to see

[@rjhaney2614]

This might be the best match since the Semifinal of WCT 4 between United an Blacklist.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yes - could well be!!!!

[@benaltoboarder]

Franko is literally the reason I'm hoping noc wins glad to see he came in clutch with that point

[@zeeman001]

Well done by both teams! This was one of the best matches of the year for sure.

[@WorldChaseTag]

For sure!!!

[@castfrchasetag4161]

What a match ! So tight in every chase ! No Cap has really take its revenge from the last year's qualifiers against Ollo.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Everyone agrees it made our day:

[@WorldChaseTag]

Ha - thanks Yuriel!!!

[@salmanabedin1313]

Watching Joey go is just an absolute treat!

[@leeperry7068]

Great match! Joey Adrian always seems to make really great decisions about pathing and cutting.

[@traceurs619]

Both chases with Joey and Stephen were the highlights of this match. I love both of them but Joey is just so damn good😂

[@pvtleaf]

Wow the last few chases were so intense

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yup - so many late tags too!!!

[@conorneary9635]

This is the best match so far a lot of fun super techy chases, hopefully more bangers like this

[@TrydeoVideo]

What a strong start to this match carrying out how fast faced and aggressive they were

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yup - from the first chase to the final chase it was very full on!!

[@cobymclaughlin3453]

Holy crap I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!!!!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Ha - cheers Coby, glad you liked it!!

[@nicknovakk]

Noo wheres the lizard guy from last year? He was my favorite!! Fantastic match, Joey has gotten even better!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Commentating! Fernando Arce was captian of Ollo last year now Stephen McCarty has taken over and Fernado is Co comentator with Mike

[@Fernando_Arce]

I'm sure you'll see me back on the Quad sometime in the near future 🦖

[@nicknovakk]

@@WorldChaseTag No way, that's so sick! Good to hear!

[@nicknovakk]

@@Fernando_Arce Looking forward to it!

[@CubFlanagan]

Was Joey Adrian this creative in the last tournament? He's so fun to watch.

[@dinoe.t.8079]

Yeah, I was thinking that he seems faster, but it's probably his fast thinking, that has got even bettter.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Joey was win some amazing chases last year too!! Remember his Evasion against APK Blue?!!

[@angeltingzz]

gurlll i found this on tiktok and now i’m invested😳😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

God bless him, Sean out here just runnin

A good thing I have not read the description before the match :P Great match! Loved the sportsmanship, the athleticism and long chases :D

[@WorldChaseTag]

Ahhh yeah, I didn't realise there was a spoiler there!!! I've removed it now - thanks for pointing that out!!

@@WorldChaseTag It wasn't too bad of a spoiler ;) Certainly didn't mean it that way :D

[@SUPERHA2IQ]

Man this was tense

[@WorldChaseTag]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Curtisisback1]

Joey Adrian is very incredible. I think if he was not in No Cap team, there will be sudden death. And again, how the hell this video is longer then last one, but there is no sudden death?! ( Although, it was very close).

[@jjprempeh2508]

Joey Adrian is underrated as hell. He moves like Davis Vasconcellos but with Seth Rujis speed.

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@jjprempeh2508 And he's made of rubber. When he falls, he bounces.

[@WCTFanChannel]

Lookin good guys! Stephen's deek at 8:24 was great! He know Michael was going to fake right before running left. MIND GAMES!

[@alfonz1986]

Sick sick match, best of the tourney so far

[@WorldChaseTag]

Agreed!!

[@DuBstepAnDa98]

Huge improvements from both teams compared to how they were in WCT USA. Amazing match and great job from both teams!

[@Krystidressler]

Wow !! This match up was awesome ! Both teams really came to win ! What a great match.

[@MarcoRafaelMNL]

One of the best matches so far both team would not back down

[@TheMikeall714]

dhayumn this is INTENSE

[@Zeecarver]

Dang this was SUCH AN INSANE MATCH! I'm sure Freerunners are going to have their hands full against the winner here! No spoilers!

Well played No Cap, you deserve that

[@jaredlewis6688]

Love this game!! Good luck to all remaining teams!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🎊

[@MyXAHOB]

it seems like this is finale. such a great show. VERY talanted athlets

[@mrpeanutbutter6817]

Now, i like that every "veteran" is happy with their new teams and all, but just imagine if Joey here, Tavon, Frank and Seth Wang went back to GNF with Davis and Seth Ruji. They'd be unstoppable.

[@WorldChaseTag]

Oh man - that would be crazy!!!

[@gaabrieltrak]

Simplesmente from Brazil do entretenimento!

[@SA-pf7dm]

This is a beast match so far 🔥🔥🔥

[@JackKad]

what an ultimated team OLLO! just great with witnessing OLLO on this match

[@vishalcheeti8374]

This match is so lit!!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Probably the best match of this event!! (Definitely the best match of qualifiers!).

[@theonlymegumegu]

Dang, that was a HAWT match from beginning to end! I was trying to eat lunch while watching and I could hardly look away to get at my food! XD such smooth movement by both teams, and it seemed like they never stopped for anything! I only regret this match means one of the teams ends the tournament here :(

[@jjprempeh2508]

Adrian 0:28 was on fire in this match! 🔥 I've never seen a tag when before the chaser and evader are striding up the mountain. Especially with a faster evader like Stephen

[@LetsChat]

The commentators are finally growing into their roles!

[@priyanshuraghuvansh1223]

Always ready 👍

[@jjprempeh2508]

Elite chasing by Joey here. 9:00. 🔥

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, the Joey v Stephen chases were insane!!

[@amindriouchi3667]

This match was fantastic

[@tomm1413]

Joey with some beautiful stuff 😍

[@gigagargantuar5472]

now imagine joey and frank in 2x speed

[@Leon69]

Wow, joey is definitely one of the best runners in this game

[@brotherjames2204]

I'm new to this, but this is awesome. With all sports going woke this league might really grow into something special.

[@marcoslacerda8596]

Michael is so good!!

[@WorldChaseTag]

He is indeed, he's still very young to so looking forward to seeing him improve even more!!

[@sethjumps]

This was such a good match! Wish both of them could have continued on.

[@KennethSee]

A nail biter the whole way through!

[@vlatoeflip]

Love love love so much

[@WorldChaseTag]

Cheers Game of Skate!!!!

[@squaresphere]

DAMN what a match! No joke, Joey is my favorite tagger. Every time he's out there, it's just clutch

[@Michael_Deti]

I wonder how much time it'll take until a chaser will stop Stephen running center court at the start of the chase xD

[@wogi1386]

In the beginning, Joey vs Stephen was not as much as i expected but it was a cool one

[@StephenMccarty]

Haha same here but you gotta remember Joey Adrian is a legend I watched his content when I was first learning parkour 🤣

[@bryanrobertson1444]

I'm still amazed that a fun game we play as kids is now a legitimate sport with world class athletes! Just getting into WCT, anybody have a general overview? Who are the beast teams (Is APEX still playing), who are the underdogs? Storylines etc.?

[@jjprempeh2508]

APEX are the defending champions in this tournaments

[@qwertyTRiG]

Due to the pandemic, the 2020 American tournament was a one-off, which didn't feed into anything else. However, this 2021 tournament is part of a broader structure. The top four teams will be in London this summer, to meet up with the best in the world. United, a French/Swiss team, will be defending their title. There were very few American teams before 2020, so most of the Americans have no experience with the European teams. Watching them meet should be interesting. There are some new teams in Europe since the last championship too, and some of them look strong.

[@tyreeneshane.]

What an excellent conclusion to a rematch story of these two teams. Joey Adrian is just superb 😩🔥

[@TheMrmoc7]

ngl, this is sick...

[@75328041]

Very Nice ^^ :D

[@17mg92]

The match was insane. They are so damn fast. 2:18 My man was flying

Ha - yeah, that looked like it could have been pretty close to being a tag!!!

[@zachfox7771]

best match of the qualifiers so far

[@WorldChaseTag]

Without a doubt!!

[@barangrare3519]

Very very nice 😄👍🏻🤗

[@YourAverageNiche]

Adrian's last chase shows how fearless he is on the quad. The dude randomly traverses obstacles with such elegancy. The amount of mental he has to perform such feasts in split second decision making is just pure athleticism.

[@dhruvagrawal340]

Could you guys post the playoff table at the end of each match

[@CitrusArchitect]

Close one!!!

[@WorldChaseTag]

Very close!! There were so many late tags it could have have been anyone's match!!!

[@fzulram]

Is each team free to decide who will be the chaser for the run or there is some rule about that (like : a player can only be a chaser once in 3 straight runs) ?

[@alonelywalker6602]

Fairly certain the team decides who to send send and when since there was a situation where a member didn’t go on at all for almost every match so the other members had to go more.

[@MMPK]

They can choose who they want. Its a very important part of the tactics! Who do you put up against who based on their styles on the quad. You could get tagged out and then go straight back in if you really wanted too

[@ajsantiago8574]

They are free to choose who to use as a chaser in any given chase. You can watch the semis match from WCT USA between GNF and Hollywood Freerunners where GNF used a much smaller lineup because of matchup problems.

[@alonelywalker6602]

I just had a look at the rules. They’re extremely simple and don’t mention anything about consecutive turns, though they’ll inevitably have to add more rules in the future as the sport becomes more popular. Every major sport is always adding rules for players that find ways to take advantage of vague rules or unwritten rules

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yes, just to confirm what a lot of comments have already said, teams can send out whoever they want as the next chaser.

[@mkelleyaggie]

Let’s go AJ

[@jmitchtheman]

The raw free running ability of Joey is really impressive.

[@abigilles]

Your discord link is invalid.

[@lucafusillo5987]

I'm sorry but this needs to be said: stephen mccarty is to good for ollo. He needs some help. He is undoubtebly one of the top 10 athletes in the competition, msybe even top 5 and it's sad seeing him leave this early

[@StephenMccarty]

No need to feel bad, yes I may be the best performing player in your opinion but I love my team we all have our strengths and weaknesses in order for us to be the best it’s important that we stay consistent with the team and our training as well it’s only up from here for team ollo. also I don’t only play to win which it would be nice to win and all but I just want to go out have a great time see my friends, fellow Athletes and hopefully pick up some sponsorships from this opportunity .

[@WorldChaseTag]

@@StephenMccarty Yeah, you really killed it at this event Stephen, it was amazing to watch!! Can't wait to see OLLO back on the Quad!!!

[@StephenMccarty]

@@WorldChaseTag I can’t to show up and show out!

[@samueltsang2609]

When I look at the bracket, it seems that GNF would probably face Hollywood freerunners again.

[@sandwich2cool]

can't start off the first round better than that

[@DeathTheKid4]

Damn this was so close. Every chase was so close. I'm sad my man Stephen is going out but I'm sure he and Ollo will come back stronger. As for No Cap, although they are exciting, they're facing the Knight of Flight next. It won't be easy

[@mocabe01]

09:06 if maybe he looked first where Joey was headed, he likely would not have taken that direction

[@rioortega703]

adrian really love to play high

[@qbuw]

4:44 i’m so mad why would you dive like that lmao you could’ve escape getting tag if you didn’t do that😩
