gosh, Jarrod has got to be my favourite athlete to watch, he's quick, small, and the way he manoeuvres through the obstacles to block his opponent is a joy to watch!

Jared vs Sarin - the battle of the Century. Hulk chasing Flash

[@WorldChaseTag]

Yeah, was good to see them both in a chase!!!!

[@recurrenTopology]

Yeah great chase. I see what you mean visually, but I think it is more of a Flash chasing Spiderman situation. Sarin seems to have some of the highest straight-line speed (or at least acceleration) in the competition which contrasts with Jarrod's use of high-level parkour to glide through obstacles.

[@kevind3974]

@@recurrenTopology he has the highest starting explosivity and in momentum shifting in the game, i do not think he has the highest straight line speed. after all he has people like kyle, tavon, ben and other vary fast people to compete with in that category. their is theirs no competition for his starts and shifts thou, that hes defiantly head and shoulder above most of the other competitors in.

[@grim_teevee]

[@donindiana8504]

I'm impressed that he is sliding not towards the evader but towards the evader's trajectory. It paid off. So good!

[@jonhanson8925]

Here we see Sarin's lack of parkour experience become evident. He's still got explosive power and speed, but evaders with more experience in parkour can use the quad to out-maneuver Sarin. He's still incredibly entertaining to watch and I'd love to see how he might grow in this sport.

[@shalvah]

Exactly what I was thinking. He's better at evading, but slower at moving through the obstacles. People like Joey and Michael that are better at parkour will easily outmaneuver him.

[@zedan4]

Hahah more focus on his skills, maybe less on the bicep curls and weird rolled up sleeves 👀😂

[@Aegis_Paradise]

See, I think he’ll improve quickly and even if not this season, he’ll be an absolute monster with more parkour experience

I didn't know I was waiting for this match! mind It was a fantastic encounter! Definitely my favorite teams of Group C :D They have already evolved since their respective first match. I'm a huge fan of Jarrod and Joey from No Cap. Jarrod perfectly fits into World Chase Tag with his impressive movements and new ideas he brings to the quad. Joey did himself dirty somehow but got away with it xD But I especially like his chasing route over the mountain which he did against Empire as well! APK Blue looks very strong with Sarin (what a beast!) and Matthew. Brother keeps impressing with his diving through every bar he can find ;) Also Jesse's dive against Michael was phenomenal! I hope both teams will move on to quarters :D I wanna see more of them ;)

[@michaelross1464]

That was just fantastic!!! New Routes, New tactics, Fantastic commentary and a sudden death just to make it interesting. I've been watching for a bit over a year now and I was just loving every second of this! There were a few but this next 9 seconds were my nomination for best moment 7:11

Sarin’s attitude was taught a lesson in this match

[@AvonaStar]

This is my favorite match of the group stages so far! That was so exciting and with so many wild chases!

[@nicky.71]

As I thought may happen with Sarin his parkour skills let him down in this match, stumbling over the obstacles which allowed his opponent to getaway. Still think he can be really good at WCT once he can get used to the obstacles and be a bit more fluid over and around them. GGs to both teams a good game of WCT down to the wire for Apk again

[@LoveforMy4C]

It's the back-to-back EPICNESS for me! Sarin @ 1:51 Sarin & Joey @ 2:13 What a great run and tag! Joey @ 3:10 and that face @ 3:22 😲👀 - make that a meme! 😂 😂😂 Another great match!

good battle by both teams....RIP JOEY after that bar hit

[@WorldChaseTag]

[@NOWABOmusic]

Love seeing the sudden death chases! Is there a reason that the green evasion buzzer doesn't go off as soon as the second evader has lasted as long as the first? Seems kind of awkward in those last few seconds when the chaser is still trying to tag, but we already know the other team won...

[@yannispiette6372]

I guess it's both so SD can be counted in the stats and more entertaining to play it until the end

[@WorldChaseTag]

Thats actually something we want to write into the system so the buzzer and the green light go off as the hit the time from the first chase. Hopefully we'll get it done in time for the next event.

[@derrickagozie]

@@WorldChaseTag I’m not sure it should... cause an evasion in sudden death counts as an evasion on the table(im guessing)... having it go green in between matches would distract the players and then miss then that opportunity of getting their evasion

HOLY SMOKES what a freaking MATCH! No Cap is my TEAM! Good on ya'll for taking that super hard match up! Everyone showed up on both sides just a matter of inches and seconds and it would have been different!

[@kirk-a-cola2260]

I love seeing Sarin play. He may trip over almost everything, but his raw athleticism makes up for it.

[@kazkaan7840]

Sarin or however it’s spelled is extremely cocky for never doing this before. It’s just how CrossFit people are and I’m not for it.

[@manug6373]

Thank you! I felt the exact same way. He’s fast but the show boating doesn’t sit well with me and makes him unenjoyable

[@strixcz]

I don't know about CrossFit people in general (I don't like labeling people like that) but Sarin definitely acts cocky as hell. He's obivously pretty good athlete - keeping up with parkour guys despite being fairly new to parkour himself is not a small feat. But his showboating and "yeah whatever" attitude towards his opponents just makes him unlikable.

[@marrdreg7025]

I was thinking the same, looking through the comments wondering if others felt the same. His sportsmanship just seems so lackluster compared to probably ANY other competitor in this sport. And a super huge contrast to someone like Joey who is all smiles. P.S. Probably nothing to do with CrossFit, poor stereotyping.

[@estyboi5927]

Wow... one minute in and this is already a good game. That first evasion was amazing

[@arayancygallegos2160]

no cap played it real smart when they were evading sarin. they doubled back and kept the chase in the high iq areas and avoided the front line like the plague. putting yourself in a footrace against the guy is a death sentence (note that he was only able to make a tag after michael tried to outsprint him, but by then it was already too late for apk blue). but jorrod and michael used their strengths against sarin's weakness: theyre parkour athletes while he is not so they used idling and obstacles to their advantage and didnt let sarin use his speed and stamina to his. not letting the chase pick up too much momentum against that guy won the match for no cap

Although I like the addition of a player like Sarin without the experience but full of explosive power - he really needs to get more sportsmanship in his game. Just getting cocky and never even acknowledging his opponents during the game. I had a similar feeling of annoyance with Ben of Enso movement - the cockiness just is not in the parkour spirit that this sport is so vividly involved with. Jarrod was on fire again! Him and Sparsha are my definite favorite athletes of this group

[@bentn13]

Jarrod's the first guy who used the going towards the sisters as the first thing they do effectively, and the problem with it is what he showed, tagged in 10 seconds, no matter if you can evade them for a bit, you're elongating the time of the chase, by cutting down the time the chaser needs to get into your range. You're giving yourself more seconds where you need to go full out.

[@strixcz]

One of my favourite matches so far! Some beautiful chases (Joey at 2:55 definitely being a highlight :D) and glad to see a DTR being properly resolved this time. I wonder what happened to Jarrod though - it's obvious he hit his head but I'm struggling to find the moment it happens - my best bet is he jumps too early at 6:26 and hits the board he's running under (which would also explain the sketchy landing)? Anyway, props to him for scoring a crucial point for his team despite being clearly shaken! Also, hoping to see Sarin show as much sportsmanship as athleticism someday ;)

[@Orangepie86]

[@Michael_Deti]

I was watching WCT4 yesterday - the match United versus Blacklist which is still one of my favorite games to watch ;D I wanted to compare that with the matches of Group C but I really couldn't. I can't properly tell how the level of play differs between WCT4 and WCT USA and I think one of the factors might be the different camera angles. I like the camera work better at this tournament. The only thing I would say, is that the top camera is a bit confusing and the center court view (from up top) is not a favorite of mine. If the top camera would be a bit tilted and wasn't centralized I think it would look better :) I know that the budget you have is not yet high enough to get all the equipment you would like. But maybe it helps in your decision-making ;)
