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.
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.
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.
Luckily this isn't boxing people can bet on. Otherwise this would look clearly rigged LOL. Astonishingly calm approach by Xavia. Proof that peace of mind is crucial and beats haste.
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.
It’s that same technique of running that looks slower than it actually is. It’s in the body language. People who haven’t experienced it aren’t prepared for it. Dancing Mark has it. Mini Soderman has it. Xavia has it
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).
@@onreact a few? Xavia is indeed amazing, but he never got chased around court like Kyle, fluidity practically handed the record to him by making 3-4 BIG mistakes every run and never trying to tire him
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
@@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... 🔥
Chase 7 vs Alex was a prime example of how powerful knowing your opponent's reach is. You can find examples of that in HEMA or any form of fencing... Now I lowkey want to see Xavia with a sabre :)
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.
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.
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

He made it look so easy that I started thinking he shouldn’t be allowed to just run around the outside of the course.. pure talent. Looks easy because he was in the zone for sure
That team was incompetent... How can you not learn his pattern in so many chases? They are also slow af and trip all the time. It's like it was a major league team vs amateurs
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.
@@fkyfky0208 it's been going in for a few years now. Funny how I've never seen such egregious difference between 2 teams in the very first month of the sport being broadcast... It was so bad that I feel like the record shouldn't count. It's as if it was pros vs young amateurs...
Agreeing with others that some speed (and maybe some height in the chasing lines) would've applied more pressure on Xavia and caused him to fold quicker. Still an absolute monster!!!
It's stupid asf. I watched it today for the first time and realized you just need to hide behind those bars.. the moment he tries to go through you just run..
This guy´s using his brain. Not doing any unnecessary movement. I´m not into "parkour" or whatever this is (Sorry) but this was really interesting to watch.
FLUIDITY was straight up little league. I've never seen an entire team look confused on the Quad. Was it impressive on the amount of endurance needed for that? Yes. Was it impressive based on the level of competition? No. Nonetheless GJ Xavia.
@@ColeKulina The parkour skills ye have; the tagging strategy needed work. Keep working! Hope to see ye again soon. Pity it was a straight knockout tournament. You probably learned a lot from that one and would have shown up stronger in a second match.
Damn man. What the hell was that? I thought it was amazing that kyle score 6 evasions on 1 team, now we got a one man army called xavia running circles around an entire team. This game has got a whole lot crazy now. Can't wait to see wct5 world championship next.
So basically he just stayed on the perimeter the whole time. It looks like he outsmarted the course setup just as much as his opponents. In other words it appears the best strategy is to keep running to the outer corners.
Fluidity and Breach! 2 Ogs. I remember fluidity went to the finals of WCT1, and breach went to the semis of the euros! Can’t wait to see a WCT final between the European and American winners, if that is your plan, or a supercup
See a lot of hating on team Fluidity in the comments. Sad. Hopefully, we, as a community, can be better than that. One of the things that makes this a great sport is the unusual level of sportsmanship between players. As a fan, I hope to encourage that. We need more of that energy in the world. Also, each member of Fluidity trains and competes - more than can be said for most of the people hating. - steps off soapbox gently ✌️
As a member of team fluidity I appreciate that comment. We were all thrown into WCT and had no clue what to expect, it's so much harder than folk realise. At the end of the day it's speed and tag, no amount of epic roof jumps or flips will help ya on the quad. Plus, our opponents were MACHINES haha, cudos to them for being the pros they are. We tried
@Cole Kulina That’s fair! So many different ways to enjoy and express ourselves with parkour, not all speak to us as movers. I’ll sub to you in case you put out some more videos. ✌️
Theres been miss matches before and thats going to happen constantly but xavia did such a great job here. His ability to predict what his opponents were doing and counter it made this looks stupidly easy. In reality though he was just big braining the hell out of them
when i first heard of this i thought it was ridiculous and goofy but...i dont know...its really entertaining to watch. you plan to just check it out for a minute but then you kinda cant stop watching. i guess it harkens back to that primal memory we all have as kids chasing each other around and that feeling and adrenaline of ALMOST being tagged but narrowly escaping.
There is definitely an art to moving slowly. You force the chaser to make their move first so you are past the point of no return. Dude put on a clinic.
Great awareness and patience from Xavia. Fluidity just need to practice clearing the obstacles a little quicker to keep the pursuit going. Too many pauses at the loading bays left them with a lot of ground to cover.
@Samuel Tsang I DO think 8 is as far as it goes, but Kyle Soderman got his 6 evasions in a row by going more full speed. I agree that while Xavia saved much of his energy, that's more so on the opponents because he so easily anticipated their moves. Another thing is can he help carry Breach to the championship match like Kyle did for Hollywood Freerunners in their past 2 events?
8is the maximum, because if u think about it, 16 chases in total. Lets assume xavia started evading at 1st chase instead of chasing, it means he spent 8 chases evading and the 9th being caught. The score will then at best be 8-7, so the 9th chase (aka the “1 being caught” chase) does not need to happen. And so the game ends at 8-0 after chase 8.
Xavia literally took the whole team out and beat them by himself. He made this look way too easy!! Epic!!!!! He is amazing!! Beast mode!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯 Cheers 🥂
Definitely would have and almost has happened in the US lol, but yeah, not enough teams for full comps every single time. This is their first match of the competition, quarter finals is also round 1. As of right now they're taking on whoever makes a good enough submission, which is dope that lots of different people get to compete, but we do end up with some underperforming teams because of that. The national comps are cool because you get to see stuff like this, then international comps cut out the less competent teams and you'll get to see how hard it actually is to get more than 1 or 2 evasions on skilled players
This was just uncompetitive. i think Xavia is revealing a real weakness with this game. If you get the other side of one of those boxes, you just have to watch your opponent move and then go the other way. A quality player is never going to be caught that way. The only way to stand a chance would be to literally chase your opponent, following their every move, and hope you are faster. If you're not faster, you have no chance.
Against a team that doesn't know how to trap evaders, yes, I totally agree. Xavia exploited their inexperience perfectly. Against a team with competent taggers, you can maybe nail a couple evasions with perfect positioning and timing but eventually you're gonna be more tired than your chaser and get tagged, which is how that balance comes into play. I think if there were 2 teams of 6 Xavias, you would see a lot of 1/2 point trades, because I think you can evade perfectly but you will inevitably exhaust yourself and a decent chaser will capitalize.

8is the maximum, because if u think about it, 16 chases in total. Lets assume xavia started evading at 1st chase instead of chasing, it means he spent 8 chases evading and the 9th being caught. The score will then at best be 8-7, so the 9th chase (aka the “1 being caught” chase) does not need to happen. And so the game ends at 8-0 after chase 8.
I think 9 (or more) is possible if you include sudden death rounds
@@ori3645 that wont be in a row then, like it wont be evading 9 times straight, because there will be other matchups in between
Xavia literally took the whole team out and beat them by himself. He made this look way too easy!! Epic!!!!! He is amazing!! Beast mode!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Cheers 🥂
No offense but is the purple team even trying? I feel they move so slow, you've got 20 seconds just F go !? The first 5 runs were just too ez
ESPN would cover this literal children's game and think they are above eSports.
E-Sports are great! Team Envy actually sponsors Envy GNF on the USA chase tag teams!
I can't believe this is a sport 😳 lol 😆
His confidence in judging distance to lean away from those lunges is insane! Real mastery in conserving energy.
How has this team made it to the quarters. Standards of this competition needs to be higher. No way this would have happened in the US
Definitely would have and almost has happened in the US lol, but yeah, not enough teams for full comps every single time. This is their first match of the competition, quarter finals is also round 1. As of right now they're taking on whoever makes a good enough submission, which is dope that lots of different people get to compete, but we do end up with some underperforming teams because of that. The national comps are cool because you get to see stuff like this, then international comps cut out the less competent teams and you'll get to see how hard it actually is to get more than 1 or 2 evasions on skilled players
I love how this is in 4K, great stuff guys!
This was just uncompetitive. i think Xavia is revealing a real weakness with this game. If you get the other side of one of those boxes, you just have to watch your opponent move and then go the other way. A quality player is never going to be caught that way. The only way to stand a chance would be to literally chase your opponent, following their every move, and hope you are faster. If you're not faster, you have no chance.
If so, how come everyone doesn't do it?
Against a team that doesn't know how to trap evaders, yes, I totally agree. Xavia exploited their inexperience perfectly. Against a team with competent taggers, you can maybe nail a couple evasions with perfect positioning and timing but eventually you're gonna be more tired than your chaser and get tagged, which is how that balance comes into play. I think if there were 2 teams of 6 Xavias, you would see a lot of 1/2 point trades, because I think you can evade perfectly but you will inevitably exhaust yourself and a decent chaser will capitalize.
It may be spontaneus, AND you should look for error, make faits to cause errors...
I really like this "Athetes ready" shout.
Xavia seemed to move like APEX team members while evading
He reminds me of Mark Bowles's calmness, though it's entirely possible he has the power of APEX players too and just never wound up using it here
