The win was well deserved. Paper Rex has been a dominant force from the APAC region and has almost always been present at international events. Unfortunately, it has lost very closely every single time. The team lost to Evil Geniuses in the Grand Final of Valorant Champions 2023 and, similarly, to FPX at Valorant Masters Copenhagen in 2022.
These are just some major instances of PRX coming too close to victory but not close enough. However, this time, at the Masters Toronto, the team has proven its worth. Paper Rex defeated Fnatic on Map 1, Sunset, with a 13-11 scoreline, but went on to lose Icebox at 15-17.
However, the team would soon turn the tide on Pearl and then on Lotus, winning back-to-back and sealing the deal against Fnatic. Valorant Studios Head Anna Donlon embraced the players and congratulated them for the victory. Coach Alecks and mindfreak were also present and visibly emotional to see the team finally succeed.
The entire team showed up when needed. Jinggg, d4v41, something, f0rsakeN, and PatMen all had their moments of glory where they saved the team through important clutches, impact frags, lurks, and so much more.
It's safe to say: Paper Rex has arrived and conquered.
