Paper Rex vs T1 Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific Playoffs

The Paper Rex vs T1 game will be the final match of the Upper Semifinals

After a 2-1 victory in their upper-round match, T1 have reached the Upper Semifinal to meet Paper Rex, who secured this spot with their 2nd seed. These two teams’ last encounter was in the 3rd week of the Regular Season, and that game was a dominating show from the Singaporeans as they overpowered T1 on both maps. Therefore, Sayaplayer and his teammates need to prepare better counters against Paper Rex to stand a chance in this Best of 3. 

Paper Rex

With a 7-2 record, Paper Rex were the second-best squad in the Pacific League, as they enjoyed a long winning streak in these last weeks. Considering their current pace and their previous domination against T1, this has a high chance of being a win for the roster.

T1

The South Koreans are here from a 2-1 victory in the Upper Round, where T1 looked strong against Gen.G on Fracture and Lotus. During this Best of 3, the entire squad looked on point, with none of them depending on the individual performance of Sayaplayer or Munchkin. This is the form they will need to have a good chance against Paper Rex. However, winning this game will require a huge upset.
