Paper Rex to play like they have nothing to lose at Valorant Masters

Paper Rex come into Valorant Masters with a fresh mindset after a less than successful international showing in 2021.

Singaporean side Paper Rex are probably more know for the shenanigans of their in-game leader, Benedict ‘Benkai’ Tan, than their actual gameplay. The team doesn’t have a win to their name at a Masters tournament yet, but say they have a better mindset than they did last year at Valorant Champions Tour Stage 3 Masters: Berlin. “We got nothing to lose,” Paper Rex player Aaron ‘mindfreak’ Leonhart said.

Paper Rex wants to play for fun

While Paper Rex haven’t lost a VCT match yet in 2022, but that could all change after their first match against DRX at VCT Masters: Reykjavík. It could be more competitive a match than some think though, as the Singaporean org regularly scrims the South Korean side, and DRX players have praised the team as one of the few that can challenge them in the region. “I would honestly put Paper Rex as the only team from APAC that could box in the ring with us,” DRX’s Kim ‘stax’ Gu-taek said before the tournament began.

Paper Rex have staff members to lean on at Valorant Masters

With the organization’s backing and leadership behind them, Paper Rex hope for a deep run at Valorant Masters and hope to make into the top three. Beyond Iceland, the team wants to compete in every Masters this year, and to not miss out on Valorant Champions like they did last year. “I just hope the guys do as well as they can,” alecks said.
