Gen.G vs Paper Rex at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid: Who will win the first semifinal?
Prediction
Gen.G has played like a well-oiled machine, with veterans as well as newcomers playing to the best of their abilities. Kim "Karon" Won-tae's performance has been especially impressive as he has been on the top of the scoreboard consistently.
Once hailed as one of the best players in Korea, Kim "Lakia" Jong-Min has found it hard to find value in terms of numbers under the Gen.G banner. Today's Gen.G vs Paper Rex at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid is an excellent opportunity for him to show up to the server, as PRX is guaranteed to pose a serious threat.
Paper Rex have been slowly coming into form over the last couple of games. Their core "organized chaos" style is very hard for teams to answer back against when it is at its best. However, when it is even slightly out of sync, they can be severely punished.
To take down Gen.G, PRX must bring their A-game. Anything less than their best foot forward will likely result in a Gen.G victory.
Head-to-head
Before the Gen.G vs Paper Rex match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid tonight, the two teams have faced each other three times, two of which were in 2024. Paper Rex came out on top in their first game but lost the second time, conceding the title of the VCT 2024 Pacific Kickoff winners to the Korean squad.
Recent results
Gen.G has been on an absolute rampage this season. They have remained undefeated since February 22, when they took down ZETA DIVISION, DRX, Paper Rex, LOUD, and EDward Gaming.
Going into today's game, PRX's streak is W-L-L-W-W against T1, Gen.G, EDward Gaming, Team Heretics, and Karmine Corp, respectively. While the team looked shaky at the start of the tournament, they have regained their footing and are looking better with every match.
