Kyle Soderman is the most well-studied evader in WCT. It's like he's declined, he's just become the Ryu. He's elevated the game, and the game showed up.
For sure! It would be really easy but preemptive to claim that he's fallen back, but I really do think that if you take a hard look, you really see that the competition around him has just AMPED UP incredibly. No team wants to be the ones that just let him run the quad all by himself anymore XD
Empire is quickly becoming one of my favourite US teams, they're improving so much year over year and they've got a really solid roster with a good diversity in style and tactics. Hope Luciano is able to recover swiftly and well from his injury 🙏
How am I only just finding this awesome sport? I literally never watch sports but this is such fun! Definitely going to see it live London. They should host it at the ExCel centre.
That was a crazy match between 2 incredible teams! Injuries will happen at any time, Luciano with a serious knee injury, I mean that had to hurt and Surge had a dislocated finger and manage to pop it back in and still get an evasion on the 14th chase, I mean that was amazing! But once again Hollywood Freerunners with the win, no surprise there, they’re going against the reigning champions Apex Moon, and I they have a great shot of beating them this time with Amos on the team as well as Omar and Kyle!
I want to believe that so very badly... But Apex exists, 2 bunches of thems, in fact, and they're way too op; to the point of me, despite always liking them, finding myself rooting for their opponents more often than not, just for wanting this to be interesting sake.
I could see HF maybe getting there in the next cycle: when Dale & Miguel hopefully get their game closer to Kyle & Omar & Amos level, still don't know, what to make of Wes - maybe he is ready to challenge Apex, maybe not, unclear...
I can't believe Luciano was out so early... One of the hardest taggers. Pour one out for my homie, RIP. Hope he makes a speedy and full recovery so can start dishing out the tags again. Much love from Puerto Rico 💪
While Hollywood might have taken a relatively easy win here, I want to point out how good Empire have looked this tournament. Amblo, Surge, and Luciano have all looked amazing. This is a team that could become great in the future
Real pleasure to watch this season of Empire, getting better and better and fun to watch ! Big up to Serge, amazing step up from what I saw and seemed to have a great mentality on all those matche =)
The fact that we don't see more severe injuries than we do is testament to every athlete who plays this sport both in their skill, and their luck. We came inches from seeing a man get curb stomped only to see a knee blown out by what should have been a pretty routine jump.
Это лучший вид спорта. Смотрю каждый выпуск. Ничего так не вкатывает, как эти пятнашки и настольный теннис. Здорово, что наши детские игры эволюционировали в отдельный вид спорта!
Which is why I'm so darn glad he moved on to HF. Taking a high road of actually playing, as opposed to sitting tight, looking pretty and technically winning, like, all the time? Big YUP!
Ugh, once again Empire falls short in the quarter finals, and it sucks that this match was so winnable for them. If Luciano doesn't injure himself, and if Amblo had made one of those tags against Soderman that clearly were ridiculously close, this likely would have been a much different match!
I have a question, I watched last year's WCT and the people in the teams looked really experienced compared to a lot of the individuals in these new teams. The new individuals look really slow with no experience. Are they newbies? What happened to all the old experienced players?
The game should be stopped immediately for such injuries; it'll come the day when the injury would be so grave that they'll ask 'why you let the games go on and not rescued the person immediately'. And with head blow the player should be sent to the hospital for checking. In football(soccer) they're just learning that after years, you cannot go back like you're in "60. Also, as another user said, all hanging earrings and necklaces should be removed for the competitions like in all Federal campionship. This sport has grown up so much from the beginning where you were still unsure of all the rules, athletes got a lot betters, techno as well, etc. But to made it at a higher level, to maybe one day be recognized as a sport to world level, you should value the safety of the athletes first.

Frankly, that is quite possible. Ain't sure whether it should be banned by the rules (I'm usually a loud advocate of people being responsible for themselves and their own choices, as opposed to someone else trying to babysit us "for our own good") but I do agree that it's silly (to say the least) to increase the chance of a nasty injury just for the sake of being "fashionable" while doing sports.
I will say, Amos left the quad before the 20 seconds were up during that Luciano race. On the other hand other people had already entered the quad, so also makes sense.

Agree. Kyle's as good as ever, but less dominant as others improve. I think he may still have the best stamina.
Indeed.
What a match! Nick's proving himself an extremely viable chaser and Surge had definitely improved his evasion skills too. Props to HF and Emp!

Empire seems to be trying to set a record for injuries. The knee made me wince 😰 I hope it's not too serious
I did my knee like that a while back. I was on sticks for two years. I hope he's OK.
@@tomconneely1361 mine was "only" 4,5 months - so maybe there's hope for Juni boy.
It seems this event accumulated a lot of injuries in general.

nick amblo tagging kyle and amos back to back, extremely cool
Nick Amblo is becoming my favorite guy in WCT; he's a great player, keeps it chill/fun and looks a lot like my younger brother lol
Hope Luciano is okay right now... don't know why this season has so many injuries.
Me neither, it was very upsetting
High energy and high hopes can distract the mind. Perhaps we all didn’t sleep well the night before 😅😂
I think when people want something so bad, people can get a little reckless. Mind over matter.
Hollywood Freerunners really has a chance of taking the championship!!

1:37 bro juked him so hard he broke his knee. Most brutal round I’ve seen, R.I.P Luciano
OMG it's seen really hurt 😱
An actual apex predator, even while on evading end... Here's hoping Luc is going to be up and running in no time.
It's not broken, it just poped out. It's still half a year worth of healing but if it was broken his reaction would have been way worse
Still though, brutal
Real pleasure to watch this season of Empire, getting better and better and fun to watch !

Putting your hand back together at full tilt sprint. That's rugby-level hardcore.

А ещё самый содержательный вид спорта: нигде больше 20 секунд не вмещают столько восхищений, причём не какие-то редкие 20 секунд, а чуть ли не каждые
It took 2 sacrifices, but HF still unstoppable. INSANE
Surge is a tough tough man
Absolute unit!
Aint nothing better than watching a new WCT video on the toilet after school
Omar is still kicking ass, I see.
Dale always gets evaded lol
Idk how late I am, but congrats on 1 mil!!!
Thanks! Reaching 1 mil was a big milestone for us! 😁
Okay. Empire is new fave. They just need to have more hands and legs to dislocate
Damn... nv knew Amos could play like this..😅
Which is why I'm so darn glad he moved on to HF. Taking a high road of actually playing, as opposed to sitting tight, looking pretty and technically winning, like, all the time? Big YUP!
02:07 Yeouch !!! 😨
Hollywood Freerunners❤
These are the guys who are going to survive some kind of apocolypse, way longer than us normies
Amos - the knee breaker
I felt it was too soon, but hopefully, he recovered well, but empire should've got the point Amos stepped out before the 20 secs😂
Ugh, once again Empire falls short in the quarter finals, and it sucks that this match was so winnable for them. If Luciano doesn't injure himself, and if Amblo had made one of those tags against Soderman that clearly were ridiculously close, this likely would have been a much different match!
The real Ankle Breaker happened. Hope he is good
W8W ^^ Very Nice :DD
Final needs to be like set of 3 of 16 each
Luciano, are you okay!?
😮😮😮😮😮
Beaucoup de blessés
Wish the best to Luciano

Too many injuries at this one. Maybe you can improve the course to make it less likely for participants to hurt themselves. What about padding?
Those dangling earrings will be next cause for medics
Shouldn't be allowed honestly
