Predictions

Evil Geniuses have been on a terrific run since the last few weeks of the VCT Americas League. The team brought that same level of performance for Tokyo and was able to 2-0 almost every team they went up against. Evil Geniuses pushed past everyone's expectations and are definitely a Masters title contender in this event.

Paper Rex went into the tournament, winning VCT Pacific League. However, the team's journey in Tokyo took an unexpected turn as their player, "something, " would miss the event. Due to this, everyone had very few expectations from the team, but they put on a magnificent performance. Paper Rex, against all odds, has made it to the top three in this event and can also win the trophy.

Predicting the winner of the match is difficult as both teams have been giving incredible performances throughout. Statistically, Evil Geniuses have a slight advantage as they have dominated almost every team they went up against in VCT Masters Tokyo, whereas Paper Rex's matches have been pretty close. However, Evil Geniuses will need to develop a well-thought-out strategy to disrupt Paper Rex's chaos.
