Global Esports vs Paper Rex - Which team will win this match at VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1?
Predictions
Global Esports started out as one of the weaker teams in the region. However, recently, the team has shown some potential and has been able to dominate maps quite comfortably. Global Esports' recent showing against Rex Regum Qeon made it clear that they are capable of winning against prominent teams.
Paper Rex has been able to capitalize on their chaotic playstyle once again after Jinggg's return. The team has looked a lot more confident and appears to have reverted to the Champions 2023 version of themselves. Despite the one loss they suffered against Team Secret, Paper Rex is still a very deadly squad to go up against.
This match of Global Esports vs Paper Rex heavily favors the latter due to the performances their roster has been capable of in the past. Global Esports will have to give their all to come out on top of this Bo3 (Best-of-three) series.
Head-to-head
These teams have faced each other multiple times before. The most recent was during the Pacific League 2023 where Paper Rex won the Bo3 series by 2-1.
