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.

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.

@@thelaziestluke7199 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

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.

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 actually reached to the WCT creators around the time of WCT3/WCT4 with some ideas on how to improve scoring because back then quite a few matches were decided by a single point difference - or worse - sudden death. To me it just looked like scoring an evasion was too hard, resulting in too much luck involved to win a game. They replied, stating that they were pondering something similar before (my idea was basically about scoring points every 5 seconds of a chase as an evader, with a bonus for a "complete" evasion) but ultimately they decided to keep it simple and focus more on improving the quad instead - which has since proved to be the right thing to do (mainly adding some high EQ areas / buffing the existing ones) - we've started seeing teams scoring way more evasions, resulting in more exciting matches and decisive victories. Anyway, I think they've layed out a solid foundation for the sport which I'm pretty sure will only get changed with minor tweaks over time - nothing as substantial as changing the number of rounds, scoring or the number of players per team... One reason for that would be consistency - being able to compare the performances of the teams/athletes in different WCT events as they all share the same basic ruleset (except for the 1vs1 Backyard Flight Club). It shows how the sport evolves (skill-wise).
