Paper Rex vs DRX: Who will win the Upper Bracket match 3 of the VCT Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik?

Both sides will compete against each other in the VCT Stage 1 Masters Playoffs in a best out of three map rule. Since both teams are among the top eight in the tournament, it will be hard to determine who might come out on top.

Predictions

DRX has shown massive potential throughout the VCT Stage 1 Masters. Also, both sides have put up stellar performances in almost every match, making them almost equal.

Although both teams show similar potential, only one can come out alive. So, if a winner has to be picked, it has to be DRX for their consistency. However, Paper Rex has also shown massive improvement this year, so they cannot be ruled out completely.

For now, it can be said that DRX has better odds of winning and can do so by keeping a 2-0 scoreline in the Playoffs.

Head-to-head

Both DRX and Paper Rex have faced each other not once but twice in the past. In both instances, DRX managed to dominate, but this year, the results can vary.

Recent results

Looking at the recent five-match history of both teams, DRX and Paper Rex have shown flawless performances and haven't lost a single match. This indicates that the game between the two will be exciting as both are not willing to go down easily.
