PRX alecks talks about his team's performance against Team Secret in VCT 2023: Pacific League
During Week 2, Day 2 of VCT 2023: Pacific League scrum interviews, Sportskeeda Esports asked Paper Rex's coach alecks about the team's performance on the Haven map in their recent matchup. The coach was specifically questioned about the reasons that might have led to Team Secret having an early lead on the map Haven, which was finally won by Paper Rex themselves.
In response, the coach stated:
"I think we approached the game a little bit wrongly. We should have gone to a different bombsite more often. We did follow the game plan and then we ran into the stacks and they were really aggressive to stop the game. I think it was a good approach for them. I mean, it caught us off guard and we lost a couple of rounds. We lost momentum, and we had to work for it."
According to coach alecks, Paper Rex didn't approach the map (Haven) properly and believes that they should have tried to take control of a different site frequently. However, he didn't reveal the weakness in Team Secret's defense and decided not to talk about the site in question.
Paper Rex followed their game plan, but Team Secret were quite aggressive in shutting down their site executions. This took the team by surprise and after they lost a few rounds, they eventually lost their overall momentum. However, Paper Rex quickly regained control of the situation and worked hard to get themselves back into the game, ultimately winning the map.
Paper Rex will face T1 next in the ongoing VCT 2023: Pacific League. The two teams are currently considered to be two of the best squads from the APAC region and their matchup will most likely be a sight to behold. The upcoming matchup is scheduled to go live on April 8, 2023.
