Paper Rex vs DRX Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific League

Week 4 of VCT 2023 Pacific starts with a highly anticipated Paper Rex vs DRX matchup

This will be one of the most exciting games of the tournament, as two of the best rosters of the Pacific regions get to fight each other for the first time in 2023. While DRX is the clear favorite in this matchup, it’s hard to deny Paper Rex’s potential to bring a chaotic, aggressive playstyle that may break the South Koreans’ strategic defenses. If you can’t wait for this match, here’s a quick preview of what you can expect from this game.

Paper Rex

The Singaporean roster is currently enjoying the top 3 spots of VCT Pacific as they are about to face the mightiest foe of this tournament. All of Paper Rex’s previous encounters with DRX ended with losses, and this one might not be so different unless we see the return of Masters Copenhagen PRX.
