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.

[@traceurs619]

@@thelaziestluke I feel the only reason you guys looked the worst was merely due to 2 reasons… 1. They put you guys up against Xavier of all people on their team 1st😂 and 2. Most rookie teams got their spotlight by going against other rookie teams from the start, you guys went against an OG from the jump. And for that, you’ve earned my respect. Only 1 way to go from here and that’s up. Your team full-sent a lot of tag attempts and made it easy for him to evade and catch a breath. Also didn’t look like you guys were trying to manipulate Xavia’s movements to corner him, you only went where he lead YOU, which kept that distance. As the chaser, you need to be the hunter, you make the evader go where YOU want him to go. In the early WCT days, people would have that stalemate in the corner and waste time for an easy W, then chasers like Andy, Seth W, and Frank came in with the speed to rush that corner, cancelling the stalemate and not allowing them to rest. Then it’s a nice beautiful hunt from there;) muahaha. Can’t wait to see how you guys have improved next time

[@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.

[@Superp1g]

That is insane. Made it look so easy.

[@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.

That's because it was.

@Dr. R. Floyd Lindquist (PsyD, PhD) true. Though he hasn’t had as much success with it because he’s always being chased by veterans of WCT

[@TrydeoVideo]

Xavia has a great tactic but I believe the other team doesn't have the speed to put more pressure on Xavia. The other team just isn't that good imo

[@onreact]

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).

tbh if all of them just chase him around full speed he will run out of gas in like 2chases

[@heartofdawnlight]

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. The problem is that they were way too slow, slipping all over the place, and horrible at herding and using the course to their advantage.

@@aminnasir0141 I'm too lazy to type it again so let me copy and paste my reply to a similar comment: Or maybe, just maybe he was smart enough to not let them chase him around? 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... 🔥

[@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

[@hasan.birlik]

Bring my man Haroon for Xavia. Xavia is a MONSTER!

[@desputnikcommander]

Haroon would be my weapon of choice as well. Still Xavia had bad luck the last couple of years, and isn't backed by a top team. Place him in Phat and the chance to beat APEX would rise, because I don't think even Haroon can nail him all the time. Andy from UGEN wwould also be god against Xavia, as his reach doesn't come from his octopus arms, but his crazy maneuvers, that even Xavia cannot predict

[@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.

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.
