EDward Gaming vs Paper Rex (EDG vs PRX): Who will win the third match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid?

Prediction

EDward Gaming is the reigning champions of China and have retained the entirety of their 2023 squad going into this season. This leads to high synergy within the squad. Their strategies and gunplay are also at par with the best in the world. Unfortunately, though, they are yet to see substantial success on the international stage, which they would most certainly be looking to change at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid.

Paper Rex, on the other hand, have seen success at both the regional and the international stage. They had to get a new member, Cahya "Monyet" Nugraha in 2024, as Jinggg had to go for compulsory military service. Despite the change, the squad seems to be running like a well-oiled machine, as they are the only top team from 2023, besides LOUD and EDG, to have made it to Madrid.

History would suggest that in the EDward Gaming vs Paper Rex match today, the latter has the edge. However, given the two teams' form, and EDG's sheer determination, the fourth time is highly likely to be the charm.


Head-to-head

All EDward Gaming vs Paper Rex matches in VCT history have ended in favor of the Singaporean squad. They went head to head for the first time at Champions 2022, and then twice in 2023 at Masters Tokyo and Champions LA.
