G2 Esports vs Paper Rex: Who will win the second match of Lower Bracket Round 2 of the VCT Stage-1 Masters Reykjavik?
The second elimination phase of VCT Stage 1 Masters will follow the best out of three maps rule like every other match. This means the team that wins two maps against their opponents gets to move forward while the other leaves the tournament.
Predictions
While every single team in the tournament holds almost the same potential, one team will be better than the other. It is hard to determine which team will win in this encounter.
However, judging from G2 Esports’ performance in their last match, it can be said that the team isn’t in its peak form. Even though fans had a lot of expectations from Oscar “Mixwell” Canellas, it was the team that succumbed altogether.
On the other end, Paper Rex seems to be in better form and has shown excellent performance in the Lower Bracket Round 1. Additionally, Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie and Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto have played well consistently, which can play in Paper Rex’s favor.
In short, Paper Rex seems to be in better form than G2 Esports and has a high chance of winning against them with a 2-0 scoreline.
Head-to-head
Both the teams have not faced off against each other previously and will be competing for the first time in the VCT Stage 1 Masters.
Recent results
Looking at the recent results of both the teams, Paper Rex seems to be performing slightly better. G2 Esports has lost two matches in their last five encounters, while Paper Rex have lost only one.

G2 Esports:
- Johan Renbjork "Meddo" Lundborg
- Auni "AvovA" Chahade
