VCT Masters Tokyo is heading towards its last couple of matches. The event started with a total of 12 teams and is now left with only three. Eight teams first started off in the Group Stage, where only four could make it to the Playoffs. In the Playoffs, a double elimination format was followed to eventually determine the winner of this Masters Event. Day 11 has one match scheduled between NA's Evil Geniuses and Pacific's Paper Rex.
Day 10 had two matchups. The first one was the Upper Finals between Evil Geniuses and Fnatic. Evil Geniuses had been on a great run in this event until they finally met their match as they went up against the World Champions, Fnatic. The BO3 (Best of Three) series was as close as expected, but in the end, Fnatic closed the third map to avoid Overtime and close the series with a 2-1 win.
Trending
The second was an elimination match between Paper Rex and NRG Esports. Paper Rex had surpassed everyone's expectations as they performed amazingly with their 6th player, cgrs. The team pulled off yet another upset as they took down NRG Esports by winning the BO3 series by 2-1.
Evil Geniuses vs Paper Rex - Which team will make their way to the Grand Finals of VCT Masters Tokyo?
Predictions
Evil Geniuses have been on a terrific run since the last few weeks of the VCT Americas League. The team brought that same level of performance for Tokyo and was able to 2-0 almost every team they went up against. Evil Geniuses pushed past everyone's expectations and are definitely a Masters title contender in this event.
Paper Rex went into the tournament, winning VCT Pacific League. However, the team's journey in Tokyo took an unexpected turn as their player, "something, " would miss the event. Due to this, everyone had very few expectations from the team, but they put on a magnificent performance. Paper Rex, against all odds, has made it to the top three in this event and can also win the trophy.
Predicting the winner of the match is difficult as both teams have been giving incredible performances throughout. Statistically, Evil Geniuses have a slight advantage as they have dominated almost every team they went up against in VCT Masters Tokyo, whereas Paper Rex's matches have been pretty close. However, Evil Geniuses will need to develop a well-thought-out strategy to disrupt Paper Rex's chaos.
