Paper Rex’s Impossible Journey Will End At VCT Masters Tokyo 2023! Prove Team Asia Is World Class!
The team from Singapore, Paper Rex had to end their surprising run at the VCT Masters Tokyo 2023 in third place.
Even though they are the superior team from the VCT Pacific League, due to their roster problems, PRX cannot play with their best line up.
Paper Rex star and VCT Pacific League MVP, Something, had to miss this tournament due to his visa issues.
They were forced to play with their 6th man, cgrs, who only appeared once in the 2023 VCT Pacific League yesterday.
With only about 10 days of my time, Paper Rex practiced with cgrs and changed their gameplay a little.

The absence of something means that the PRX star from Indonesia, Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto returned to his old role as a duelist and Jett player.
Cgrs himself was previously a content creator before being brought in by Paper Rex in October 2022. Having to focus and move to become a pro player at Masters Tokyo is not an easy thing.
But he showed he was capable of playing with other pro players with some of the clutches he provided, especially against NRG.

During the Tokyo Masters played 5 different agents and scored an ACS 150.0 and won 6 clutches.
Cgrs is also very happy and grateful to be able to play truly professionally at the VCT Masters Tokyo.
“I feel happy and I’m grateful for the opportunity that I can play in the tournament. And I try my best. Best moment? Clutch against NRG som.” said the player from Thailand.
Even so, PRX coach Alecks confirmed in a media interview that they would return to playing with something even though CGRS was able to bring PRX to the top 3 of the Tokyo Masters.
“When we go to the Champions, we will train where we have trained for the last 3 months, so Ilya (something) will play,” said coach Alecks.
He also said that even though their top 3 journey was surprising, they were able to enter the top 3, his team must have felt sad not being able to advance to the grand finals.
“The first Asian tournament for VCT, we want to be in the grand final as Asia’s representative,” closed Alex.
PRX’s performance was actually quite good with cgrs, winning 2-0 against DRX before being slaughtered by FNATIC in the upper semifinal.
Continue to beat hot EDG 2-1 in the lower bracket round 2. And the match that was very surprising was defeating the American team, NRG 2-1 to enter the top 3 of the VCT Masters Tokyo 2023.
Unfortunately, playing with the 6th man could only bring Paper Rex in 3rd place. In the lower finals against Evil Geniuses, they seemed a little overwhelmed in several important maps such as Ascent and Fracture.
But Paper Rex at the Tokyo 2023 Masters proved that their game is indeed world class. Has a unique gameplay and system where they can play against other world-class teams.
Of course, CGRS itself has amazed the world with its gameplay even though it has to play in a team quite suddenly.
