[WCT USA] - Group A - 5 Borough v Hollywood Freerunners

This is the last group match for 5 Borough and Hollywood Freerunners. The winner is guaranteed a place last 8, the losers’ fate rests in the outcome of the final Group A match between GNF and Enso Movement.

Unfortunately, there was a referee error in this match. In Chase 13, Deyvid made a dive-tag attempt on Kyle right in front of the Mountain at about 18 seconds. One of the referees called it as a Tag so the lights went red. However, when looking back at the footage during the DTR, it was clear that a Tag did not take place. Because it was so late in the chase (i.e. with only 2 seconds left on the clock) the head referee deemed it an Evasion.

This obviously had huge implications both on the match and on the group table. It is always very unfortunately when a referee decision (or error) determines the outcome of a match but in this case we feel that the decision to award Hollywood Freerunners the Evasion was the correct one. Let us now what you think in the comments below.

Another (more positive) talking point in this match is the inclusion of Omar Zaki. After seeing his bail in their previous match (and the resulting bruise), everyone expected him to be out for the rest of the tournament. Little did we think he would be playing in the very next match!! Very big up to warrior Omar!!!
