On November 29, 2014, the world’s 16 best B-Boys went head to head in Pairs’s La Grande Halle de la Vilette to compete for the opportunity to be crowned the Red Bull BC One World Champion. After months of intense one-on-one battles across six continents, more than 2,000 B-Boys competed to secure a place in the World Finals.

Like in 2013, Red Bull BC One held Cyphers, Regional Finals as well as the World Final. Winners of country Cyphers got the chance to compete in one of six global qualifiers in an attempt to reach the World Final. Following the global Cyphers, the Regional Final season ran from mid-July to mid-September. Regional Finals were held for the Americas in USA; Eastern Europe in Croatia; Western Europe in Finland; Latin America in Brazil; Asia Pacific in Taiwan; and Middle East & Africa in Algeria.

    World Finals

    Red Bull BC One took place in Paris, France. For the 2014 World Finals, Red Bull BC One utilized a round-by-round judging system used by Undisputed. The round-by-round judging format allows bboys to see the judges decision after every round. The battle is set for 3 rounds (Finals is 5) but can end if a bboy beats his opponent in 2. The format should make bboys give 100% each and every round because the more unanimous rounds they win, the more rounds they will have heading into the semi-finals and final battle. However, this judging system received a lot of criticism from Red Bull BC One fans throughout social media following the event. Bboys and fans alike, both disagreed heavily with the judges's decisions after many individual battles. Many argued that it was the worst Red Bull BC one competition since its initiation.
