Paper Rex vs Sentinels at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid: Who will make it to the Grand Final?
Trending
Prediction
Going into the Paper Rex vs Sentinels Lower Final match at Masters Madrid, there are a few key players to look out for on either side. On the PRX bench, it is Aaron "mindfreak" Leonhart and Cahya "Monyet" Nugraha.
The former's lack of impact in most recent games is noticeable from the Singaporean squad's decisive victory against LOUD yesterday, where mindfreak went positive for the first time since their opening game.
Monyet is also a feast-or-famine player at the moment. While he has had highly impactful rounds here and there, this match is the time for him to show up with blazing guns.
As far as Sentinels is concerned, Zachary "zekken" Patrone and Tyson "TenZ" Ngo coming online early will be important. Both high-caliber players have found it difficult to find their footing in the game at Masters Madrid, but considering how much lies on the back of this game, there is no time like today to restore Sentinels to their 2021 glory days.
Going by the trend in this tournament, the map pool for the Paper Rex vs Sentinels match will likely sport Split, Sunset, Lotus, Bind, and Ascent, with Sentinels potentially banning Icebox and PRX from doing away with Breeze. This looks more in favor of Sentinels than PRX, giving them a higher chance of coming out on top.
Head-to-head
Sentinels and Paper Rex faced off twice at the AfreecaTV Valorant League in December 2023. The North Americans took the first series 2-1 and the second 3-0. This will be their first game on a VCT stage.
