Reverse Sweep Is Real! Paper Rex is Asia’s New Champion, Makes the 2023 Pacific League VCT Arena Silent!
Playing in another country is not an easy thing for esports players around the world. Especially the teams in the VCT 2023 Pacific League where players from all over Asia have to play in South Korea.
Paper Rex’s path to becoming a champion in VCT 2023 Pacific is something that will be hard to forget for PRX fans as well as their opponent DRX.
Playing at Jangchung Arena, South Korea, Paper Rex had to play in the middle of the South Korean audience and supporters.
The fans mostly support DRX and always give great support in every round for DRX.
If the mentality of the PRX players isn’t strong, maybe they won’t be able to show their best performance in this Grand Final.

PRX Shows Champion Mentality With DRX’s Reverse Sweep In the Grand Final of VCT 2023 Pacific League
PRX had the advantage of doing 2 tires because it entered the grand final through the upper bracket and immediately made tires for Split and Haven.
DRX took the lead in the first Fracture map, where they showed they were the kings of Fracture because they never lost even once (7-0). They look neat and comfortable to counter the PRX’s aggressive play.
The two Ascent map is probably one of the maps that will be remembered by fans because this map is so tight. The two teams played very evenly and had to go through 3 OT, before being won by DRX with a score of 16-14.
Even though Paper Rex was surprisingly trailing 0-2 in this Grand Final, they showed their winning mentality.
Immediately returned to domination 13-3 at Lotus and equalized 2-2 after winning map 4 Pearl with a score of 13-8.
Map five Bind PRX looks very comfortable and confident in winning the first 6 rounds in a row, before closing the first round 9-3. There was no curse 9-3 this time and immediately closed the map with a score of 13-6 to lift the first VCT 2023 Pacific League trophy.

This comeback certainly made the South Korean fans silent in the Arena, especially since they had won 2-0 first.
Both teams must be given a thumbs up, especially DRX, who the previous day had to play 5 maps against T1 and today played 5 more maps.
Alecks, the PRX trainer, gave his opinion and feelings about the grand finals.
“I think DRX made it very difficult for us even after they had to play 5 maps yesterday and 5 maps today. Maybe they ran out of stamina in the end. Kudos to them, I think they ran an amazing tournament, and I still think they are hiding something special for the Masters, maybe we were lucky today but we are very pleased to have won the inaugural VCT Pacific League.” says DRX trainer Alecks.
With this is PRX’s first title for the VCT tournament. This team almost won the Copenhagen Masters in 2022 before finishing as runners up.

The arrival of Something has definitely given a new color to PRX and made them even more powerful and terrifying. Next they will focus on the Tokyo Masters where with the VCT Pacific champion, they will immediately enter the playoffs.

The VCT 2023 Pacific also shows that the quality of players in Asia is not inferior to the quality of players in the American and EMEA leagues. And it’s proven at the end of the season and also the playoffs, the quality of the game is getting tighter and more unpredictable.
News 3 teams, PRX, DRX and T1 will represent Asia in the Tokyo Masters and the remaining 7 teams in the league will play in LCQ for a slot to Champions 2023.
