Keep Chasing and Don't Get Caught!!!
A massive thanks to all the athletes for bringing their years of training to the Quad and thanks to all of you for following the action!! One thing that's really blown us away over the last few months is how well everyone knows the sport, the athletes, the Quad and the strategies, so thanks for being part of the chase!!! The only thing left is to sort out the WCT USA Best Chase Competition so stay tuned!!!
Spoiler?
You should’ve put a spoiler alert XD
@@mariusschaap2938 Ahh crap, yeah you're right all changed now!!! Thanks for pointing it out!!!
@@darth_hideous Cheers for pointing that out Darth!!!! All changed!!
@@WorldChaseTag what about the podcast
Great… what do I watch now? In all seriousness this gave me something to look forward to every week for the past 2-3 months and I’m very grateful for that. Congrats to all the teams and athletes and I can’t wait for WCT 5.
WCT3?
@@WorldChaseTag you don’t wanna know how much I’ve re-watched all the previous WCT’s
@@WorldChaseTag can u please tell me when is WCT 5 starting ?
@@Umi366 Oh man - hopefully sometime very soon we'll have much more regular events!!!
@@phyotheingi5470 We're aiming for this autumn but haven't confirmed the dates yet.
0:06 Hollywood Freeerunners intense pep talk for the very important finals 0:15 Apex intense flexing of muscles to the camera for the very important finals
9:12, probably would have been the coolest evasion move I have ever seen if he got away with it. Crazy stuff from both teams.
8:01 that was a magical move. I think Micheal knows Kyle will go for the sisters
cleanest evasion I think I have seen all tournament fast, smart and deathly accurate.
Yeah, that was a really nice change of direction!! I reckon we'll see that move a lot more, the chaser ends up in totally the wrong place.
@@mashotoshaku Yeah, he really had a lot of distance at the end of the chase!!
This was fascinating because Kyle changed up his route and Mike did too. It was the perfect storm to put Kyle down. I just wonder how much effort Apex put into studying Kyles moves because you KNOW they studied him suuper intensely.
Yeah that was pretty darn crazy
The Kyle Soderman vs Michael Sliger matchup is one that we really needed
I was hoping so
TBH that was the deciding matchup in this final match
immovable object meets an unstoppable force
As soon as I saw them up against each other I knew we were in for a treat. These 2 are insane!
True
Dude, Dale's rolling dive near the end was so dope. It would've been amazing if he managed to get the evasion from there💥
Yeah, that was a crazy bail / save!!!
RIGHT? I was so shocked. Im actually shrprised he even managed to get away after the roll. Would have been legendary if he escaped.
It was so smooth I didn't even catch the mistake the first time!
I seriously think k he's one of the most underrated players out there sacrificing his body like that lol
@@WCTFanChannel I really think that HFR is a overall underrated team. Not only Kyle is fast, Miguel, Dale and Antonio are as well.
The production quality in this WCT USA was amazing! Props to the organizers, the editors, the camera team, the emcees, and the amazing online engagement all round. Obviously not forgetting the athletes!!! Super impressed by everything. Really bringing this sport to a whole another level. Onto 1 million subscribers! I'll be backing you guys up all the way!
I totally agree with every word of this comment
Not sure whats more intimidating chasing Kyle Soderman or Olof's dance at 6:33
Best 2021 dance ever.
😂
I'm quite fond of Ethan Guzman making eyes at his opponents too.
Damn that was emotional at the end. Respect to every single athlete WTC for an amazing event ❤️
Cheers Tech!! Hopefully we'll be back very soon!!
@@WorldChaseTag Thanks guys we are looking forward to it
Masterclass, Apex are on a whole different level. I said it before, I will repeat, Rob is an absolute beast. Also the way Sliger got the evasion on Soderman was pure quality. And btw, after this match I have a new amount of mad respect for APK Grey.
APK grey was the only team that could compete with Apex...
@@sahiljadhav5833 Agree. HF is pretty much Kyle and nobody else. APK grey has a few studs
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH! 🏆🥇🥈
It is indeed!!!
We all saw that coming tbh. Props to Apex tho, overall the better team of the competition, as every single player is smart, athletic and agile. Still think Kyle deserves a Man of the Tournament award for taking such a huge part in the HF success, he's definitely the standout of the competition. Can't way to some more WCT!
Wish they would do an All-Star event
that said, we all see that even the best players slip a lot in this game. 2 days in a row and they are so very tired. good games all the players.
@@jeremysun7365 yeah, i would like to see semi-finals and finals after a week-break se they would have more time to rest. All these great athletes looked tired and made lot of mistakes.
@@sratnatozmrde it seems like the semi final games are the best games. at least the athletes were able to give it all.
We call the Man of the Tournament the "Knight of Flight" and Kyle was knighted.
WE STILL APPRECIATE THE LEGEND KYLE SODERMAN. Back to the drawing board my friend. Stoked to see you perform again!
First of congrats Apex!! 👏 I'd like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the people who organised this event. WCT has truly been the highlight of my year. As a kid all the way from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I know it will be hard but I really want to compete one day. Love you all!! Can't wait for WCT 5.
the first tag set the stage of the final ... such pace, such stamina, hats off to all the athletes !!! michael sliger ... you are a frickin machine
Amazing! Sliger taking the sharp turn to use Soderman’s momentum against him was truly superb. Then the secret unlocked player comes in and wins it hahaha, what a match. A massive thank you to all the players and crew for the whole event and I really hope to see you back in England soon
A dominant force in the tournament, absolutely deserved by team Apex. Hope to play against them this year!
Sneaky bear
@@RawBlog00 where's the lie tho 🤔
🤔
I've watched every single episode and thoroughly enjoyed this tournament
Cheers for the support Tom!!!!
Man I love this sport, the energy of the athletes and the sportsmanship. Congrats to Apex, they really played it well and were fantastic. I hope to ser more from them in the future, I also hope to ser more from HWF, they are an excelent team too. I started watching WCT during lockdown and now I consider myself a fan. Best sport ever.
I agree, the community is heartwarming and the athletes have so much respect for eachother, its so fun to watch them whip around and fistbump it out.
Seriously. It's the little things like admitting you were tagged even when it's crazy close to the round end, or helping someone back on their feet. That on top of the intense fast paced rounds makes the whole sport enjoyable to watch. I haven't watched any sports in a decade, but WCT is dope.
I've been toteing the team Apex banner since the start of this event, and they came through. Way to go! And hats off to HFR. That may have been one of the most intense matches of the whole event. Congrats to both for making this far.
Couldn't be more proud of my Apex coaches! Not only some of the kindest, most encouraging human beings you could ever hope to meet, but also truly great athletes! Rob was at my school working with my students in PE classes a couple weeks ago, and the kids were like, "OMG, you're Rob! From World Chase Tag!" And then he won their hearts with his coaching as well. Congrats to one and all who competed! And thank you ALL for inspiring my kids!
3:11 always nice to see good sportsmanship in any case
I'm not usually into sport at all, but I just watched this entire tournament and loved it - looking forward to more! And such a professional production from what I imagine must be quite a small behind the scenes team(could be wrong), props to you all
Who else spit their drink when the team came out in hotel bathrobes for the trophy? 😂😂😂
So happy somebody noticed they were from the hotel haha
Today is my birthday, and this is the best possible gift. Thank you WCT !
Happy Birthday!
@@WorldChaseTag thank you ! I wanted the other team to win but this was a really exciting match !
I fell in love with this channel after finding this series, you guys deserve so many props for all the work you do, what a great company. I admit I respect Soderman a lot but I also hope he has become a better sport over the years. Anyone who has seen him on Ultimate Beastmaster or ANW Ninja v. Ninja knows how upset he can get when things don’t go his way. Hopefully he has grown up since then because he made it really hard to root for him at times. Either way, props to both teams for amazing runs all throughout this tournament
Kyle easily the MVP in the whole tournament
5 seconds In and Apex already put on a Show. You gotta love them!
I'd like to think 50 years from now when WCT is a super famous sport, Kyle Soderman will be remembered in the same light that Pelé or Babe Ruth are remembered now
Babe Ruth doesn't count, you can't be one of the all time best players in a sport that didn't allow black people on the field. Guy was an overweight racist pos. But if you want to give Soderman Ken G. Jr. Props then that def fits. Ken was a young phenomenal player leagues above his competition, could play any position, and sort of was like the gravity well of talent for any team he was on--but still a great rep for the sport on and off the field.
This match was the perfect end to an amazing and audacious experiment. WCT-USA...what an experience. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Can we take a moment to appreciate this absolutely insane recovery by Dale though 9:13. He probably shouldnt have gone through the middle at that moment but damn this dude gave it his all.
In both of the team, the hunger to win the title was beyond measurable. But in terms of potential wct4, no team was near the Apex. Well deserved victory! Eagerly looking forward for the next series.
now, this is what I was expecting from the final.
holy shit, those first 3 chases were perfection! deserved win for apex. Kyle was man of the tournament for sure, but apex combined were unstoppable!
Michael Sliger is the only who can evade an insane athlete like Soderman and Bowles! Cheers to the MVP
Davis V from GNF too
I had no idea this existed an hour ago and now im binging them all
First time viewer and am loving the energy from everyone involved. From the chasers and evaders to the commentators, everyone seems to genuinely enjoy the events that unfold in front of them.
This is incredible, and super intense! I was already dreading seeing either team lose, but this is extremely good, some of the best we've seen yet from WTC USA
That roll by Dale in the end was SICK, and Oolof finally got it! Congrats!
They would be great cops... or robbers.
My picks for Team USA Final Roster: Jason Bergeron Rob Schihl Seth Wang Seth Ruji Kyle Soderman Mark Bowles Alternate: Michael Sliger United, Marrero Gang, UGen, Team USA is coming for you!
Sliger should be the coach 😂😂😂
Definitely not rob Gotta be Frank Seth Jason Seth Kyle Sliger Bowles or davis alternate
Rob had more evasions than all of those guys except Kyle and only missed maybe one tag in the whole tourney-- Rob is a lock for me
@@colt-king1111 rob has gotten the most evasions so far besides kyle
@@agamar8459 ya but its about who u go up against, not saying hes bad, but its like bragging about ur 3rd wide receiver getting 100 yards a game, its cuz the guy covering him isnt as good, frank is way better
What a great tournament! So many great moments. I really loved all the teams, and all the people helping behind the scenes. Thank you so much to everyone!
I love this sport so much! Rob Schil coming in with the clutch plays, what a hero!
Cheers 🥂
What a final! 🔥 Hats off to all involved. Each event seems to take this sport to a whole new level. I can't wait to see what happens at WCT5 - there's going to be some serious international competition! 🤯
This is insane. WCT USA is gonna be one heck of a tournament in the history of this game.
Well done apex! Dales dive roll though...
I just found out about WCT earlier this year and then ended up following the whole competition. Congratulations and great job to all the teams.
Hey guys! This was by far the most intense match yet. Amazing. Can't wait for the next one!
Had to watch it a couple times, This is The Final! Thanks, WCT crew!
Wow bro this channels insane, I've watched like 2 videos and I already love it. Come on guys lets get this channel to 1mil!!
Absolutely amazing! Now, to binge all previous seasons : D
Something I don’t see talked about enough is the insane sportsmanship shown in these matches. From the always helping each other up after a tag, and especially when the chaser admits they’ve been tagged when they could deny it for a point. Love WCT
It's very true, they're also honest about when they were tagged. Sarin from APK blue gets some heat for early shaking hands, but I mean, if that's the worst this sport has in conduct, then it's leagues above everyone else.
This match is worth a finale title. Both teams seem to have studied each other, like: - KYLE seem to have studied SETH and anticipated his attitude of kamikaze style of chasing and ended up winning. I was looking for that chase since the start of the tournament, now I know what happens. I think if SETH W. could cool his aggressiveness a little bit he could have catched KYLE. - Most athletes double or dive kong the sisters but this is the first time I see an athlete jumping the whole thing instead. It was well calculated but MICHEAL showed a high IQ demonstration by changing the route all evaders go for, and it turned out to be on his advantage. That chase MICHEAL-KYLE is easily on the top chases of this tournament and one of the best when it comes to strategy-technique-power and speed. Not anyone can evade KYLE. Also, I thought KYLE would participate more to increase the chances to winning but, in the end, that would be unfair not to give every athlete the opportunity to compete in the finale match. I think if HF went in with same formation as with HF-GNF semi finales, result might be slightly different. Again, APEX roaster overall is highly fast and technical. By far the bext team in the stats. Please, make a list of top 10 chasers/evaders, and some 20 mins compilation of best matchs throughout the whole tournament. And no doubt, KYLE SODERMAN is the best athlete of this tournament. He deserves a special prize/title one way or another. ("Best athlete" maybe) See you around again, WCT. I fckn gonna miss you the next few months. Looking forward the WCT USA 2 as you planned, and if allowed/possible, make it in a spaced time span in order to give athletes some time to rest. (I heard this tournament was made in 2 days... that is insane if true) Cheers to you, fams. My favorite competitive sport to watch. - A big fan.
I’m in shock, this was so much better than I expected! Congrats to all the athletes, especially the winners!
That was amazing season! thanks a lot, guys!
APEX vs Blacklist😈 I’m so waiting for that. Or even APEX vs UGEN 🥴 I want to see Seth Wang against Andy or Augustine!!! Hopefully the travel restrictions are diminished by next season!
What a final! Tbh I was rooting for HF but I also knew that Apex would probably be too much for them. Also had it not been for that many mistakes maybe HF could have made it difficult for Apex. But can't take away anything from Apex, the consistency they have shown is unbelievable! 🙌 Kudos to Kyle and Dale for their outstanding performance. ❤️ This WCT is the first one that I've watched right from the start and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This sport following is gonna grow massively in future, looking forward to the best chase compilation and the next season!
That was a dream of a final! Incredibly good. Got goosebumps watching! 🤩 Congrats to Apex. That title is well deserved.
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work. Such creative videos you’ve on this channel. Just subscribed! Officially the first viewer of any video on this channel. I’ve never witnessed such awesome editing as this one. Following your channel from the last two years, interesting content! You’re working so hard, may all your wishes come true. Congratulations on your first 10K followers, may you reach 100K soon. Whoever is reading this, never give up. God is with you. When watching your videos, I accidentally hit ‘like’ and never knew when. The moment you came here is at 05:17. Love this video, I think I’ve watched it four times.
Watched every video in the tournament. Awesome stuff. Looking forward to the next one!
Cheers Christopher - thanks for the support.
That Jason guy is so good
Now does Mark and Kyle do the NBA thing where they start to make a super team?
This series was amazing! I look forward to the next tournament in the summer
I have never yelled at a tv screen so much, this match was hype! I'm going to miss not having regular new WCT matches to watch until the next comp starts up...
I knew it from the time I saw semifinal b/w APEX vs APKG, ... They are undefeated..! What a performance throughout the season..🔥🔥🔥
Congrats! Perfect, full of emotions match!
I just found out about this sport and I am absolutely amazed by it! It’s so dynamic and competitive! Absolutely amazing!
Yes! So exciting to watch. So much intensity, and such amazing sportsmanship. But sad that it's over.
It'll be back!
What an event! There were so many top athletes in this Cup and every match was hella fun to watch! Love you guys and if you ever host an event in germany im buying tickets ;)
This was such a fun tournament to watch! Congrats to all the competitors for a great product!
What a finale! They were throwing themselves in the bars, like there is no tomorrow. 🙌🔥 Waiting for next WCT!
What a series! There's going to be a void in my life now until the next WCT tourney but man, there's going to need to be some mad stuff to top this one!
The Best Chase Competition is coming soon - the 2 athletes involved in the best chase win $1k each & it's decided by a Facebook poll. Then we have the Backyard Flight Club which is an experimental individual format. After that, its WCT USA'21 and then WCT5 at the end of the year.
Kyle Soderman + Apex = Unstoppable
Thank you soo much for this INSANE tournament! World Chase Tag is an absolute phenomenon. I want this sport to blow up. Incredible match! Kyle Soderman is an absolute fucking tank!
Fantastic match, fantastic teams, fantastic competition - thank you WCT
Oh baby, finals video, has Apex, over 7 minutes long... stoked to watch this!
Already hyped for WTC5 this one was a masterpiece
Honestly who here is surprised with the outcome? Man those first 4 chases got me so hyped. Definitely a great "Finals Game'. Now I want to see a HFR VS APK G exhibition match
Congratulations Favourite and Best Team Apex of WCT......Best Of Luck Team GNF and Apex for Next Season..... Enjoyment Level Very High..Keep Going Athletes
Watching Kyle launch himself through obstacles like the tilted cube was both amazing and terrifying
He never was so offensive before, right?
@@dragoon9airsoft560 no he typically doesn’t throw himself through obstacles like that, at least not at full speed
YEET
I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSS
World Chase Tag really is something special.
9:00 Oh look, it's the Final Boss encounter.
The first two matches: just... WOW 😳💥 Now let's watch the rest, so excited 😃
A lot of intensity in that final chase! That wasn't how I'd expected it to go, but was still a fun tournament!
I wanted Hollywood Freerunners to win, but I silently knew it would be Apex looking at how strong they were. Everyone apart from Kyle Soderman in HF seemed to be sloppy, or maybe it was the pressure of the finals. He brought them this far. Kudos to him. Congrats, Team Apex! :)
AMAZING!!!!! Congrats to Team Apex and well done to both teams. Honestly, Kyle, Dale, and Miguel are all beasts!
Been* saying this all day long, those three, and even Antonio are good. HFR actually is a good team, they just need to handle the pressure better, thought they've made many silly mistakes
@@dragoon9airsoft560 true but at the same time Apex and GNF were both hard teams to face so they did well. It was entertaining nonetheless
GG what a journey it was to watch this tournament!!
the match we've all been waiting for!!!
The incredible FINAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ah man I'm four hours late, but that match was still exciting nonetheless. All the athletes performed so amazingly and I just can't wait to see what WCT 5 will be like. Props to all the editors and its crew for making this incredible WCT championship possible, we appreciate and can't wait for what's to come.
Apparently, I found myself rooting for Apex on this match. U just really need to respect how much of a beast that team is ! Congrats, Apex !
Will that one guy from Apex finally go and run? I can't wait! Edit: Yeah, he did... (9:01), FINALLY! That was an insane one.
Didn't want this sport to end. Loved it ❤️
HFR didn't deserve Kyle. He single handedly brought them to the final and they couldn't even score some decent points. Kyle has more points then the rest of the team combined throughout the championship
So true.. 👍 Kyle is the OG of HFR..
Man, I believe Dale, Miguel and Antonio are not that bad. To me, they're decent enough. But Kyle is in another level, for sure.
@@Tapajyoti_flameboy the OG of WCT, period! And he looks like Tim Roth. 😁
I love the sportsmanship of this game and the way they doing strategies are awesome 👍. Good luck world chase tag bring this game to the all over the world 👍❤️
Never knew this existed until now, but I am so gonna watch out for this year's tournament!
i just finished benge watching WCT and I love it.
Wow!!! They really went all out, spared no effort. Great final!
