Paper Rex vs Gen.G - Which team will win VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1?

Prediction

Paper Rex is easily one of the best teams in the region and the world. Its chaotic playstyle has returned in full force after Jinggg's comeback to the Valorant competitive scene. It is the only team with a single loss, which was handed to them by Team Secret. As such, PPX is definitely among the favorites for the VCT Masters Shanghai.

Gen.G had high expectations to meet after its amazing run at VCT Masters Madrid. The team encountered a few hurdles in Stage 1 and was able to overcome those and qualify for VCT Masters Shanghai. The group includes players who have immense talent and are capable of giving Pacific its first international trophy.

This match of Paper Rex vs Gen.G heavily favors the former due to its incredible run in Stage 1. However, the latter is among the few teams that can go toe to toe against PPX, so this Bo5 series won't be easy for either team.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other multiple times before. The most recent was during the ongoing event, VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1, where Paper Rex won the Bo3 (Best-of-three) series 2-1.
