Champions Once Again: Jinggg's Stellar Performance Propels Paper Rex to Reclaim VCT Pacific Championship in Thrilling Five-Map Battle


In an incredible showdown that shook the world of esports, Gen.G Team South Korea was defeated by a paper REX team in a 3-2 series at the end of VCT Stage 1 grand finals in the Pacific region.

 

The W-gaming team joyfully rose up to the occasion after their defeat against Gen. G in the VCT Pacific Kickoff event to achieve this victory.

 

The crucial component the Paper Rex (PRX) had to adopt to become the best team in the Pacific region once more was the substitution of Jinggg (Wang Jie) for Monyet (Cahya Nugraha). Having Jinggg play with them boosted their play and spirit, thus, enabling the team regain the title of being the strongest squad in the area.

 

The last seconds of the last map were the deciding moment for who will win the championship title, with both teams showing extraordinary skills.

 

As an addition to the seeding the top slot in their region, PRX’s championship in VCT Pacific Split 1 directly puts them in the Champions Shanghai playoffs. They received an extra benefit for this accomplishment: when the time came in the playoffs, they finally had an excellent opportunity to compete against their own rivals. Riot Games also introduced a new feature to the road leading to the title with this_valorant international LAN competition_, which they unveiled at the competition.

 

Three teams secured the places at Masters in Shanghai, which were PRX, Gen.G, and T1. Dates for the event: from May 23 to June 9, 2024.

 

In the first game, Lotus was the chosen map. Conflicts on this arena were said to be the most aggressive and marked by nearly equal competitors' skill and strategy. Both teams failed to get a big lead before the first half ended and the scoreboard was at 6-6.

 

However, for the last phase of attack there seem to be more opportunities for Gen. G than for the foe. The role, played by Kim "t3xture" Na-ra, can be considered as the most outstanding because she was Raze and showed exceptional play. His remarkable stat line of 28 kills, 17 fatalities, and 7 assists showed that he was the best warrior in combat, which helped Gen. G to gain a dominating position and finally win the battle.

 

T3xture's bold escapes provided room for Gen. G to breathe easy in later-in-game scenarios, and it ultimately led to a 13-9 victory, being renowned as the best team in the tournament.

 

PRX displayed a very decent performance on different maps; for instance, on Sunset map they almost caught Gen.G off guard when Gen.G was trying to make a charge and PRX demonstrated their defensive dominance by stopping Gen. G's pistol round victory and stringing together six straight rounds to take the lead.

 

The team whipped Gen. G's butt in key map sections with their signature aggressive style.

 

The most critical characters on Sunset were both Jason "F0RS1T3N" Susanto playing as Breach, and Jinggg assuming the role for Raze. Gen. G's push tide was smartly defended by F0rsaken's the Fault Line skill, which gave Jinggg's Raze a real opportunity to pick off her enemies.

 

The series was leveled on Sunset when PRX's aggressive strategies and the well-coordinated attacks of Gen. G overpowered Gen. G.

 

Leveraging their momentum, PRX took off to a 6-2 lead on Actors’ workplace. Nevertheless, Gen. G's Kim "t3xture" Na-ra did not give up in turn, closing the gap at no cost.

 

 

He did an incredible 1v3 play at a critical moment in the 9th round, which started a comeback that pulled PRX's lead to 7-5 at the break. The tight game was mainly in the second half.

 

Despite desperate efforts of t3xture to win critical rounds and going ahead in the match 11-13, PRX’s mighty resolve prevailed and they won the endgame to seal a close 13-11 victory. They obtained a 2-1 series lead through this decisive victory. Voylo clearly showed his strength on Bind when he knocked out t3xture in the duelist tournament which made him the number one raze player in the world.

 

Yet, PRX's aggressive methods failed, and then the tide came. Gen. G handled it well, and because of their efforts, they were able to foiled their plans and profit from their mistakes. After this change, Gen. G took control in the later stages, winning five straight rounds to take Bind 13-9 and set the stage for a thrilling fifth map.

 

By Split, Gen. G, the ball thief, made way for her, picking 6-2 on the defensive. Yet PRX did not give up. They fought back relentlessly, reducing the deficit to 7–5 at halftime.

 

PRX resolute abilities were in accordance with the second half. Ilya' Petrov made no mistakes, having achieved a 22/10/4 KDA, which resulted in the emergence of his inner Jett.

 

The post switch aggressive drive by PRX and their calculated defensive formations significantly altered the gameplay.

 

Efficiently countering Gen. G's offense, the team achieved a final scoreline of 13-8 on Split map and that netted them the VCT Pacific Split 1 title.
