Valorant Champions 2023 has been one of the year's most exciting events. Day 4 led to some of the more anticipated matches of the Group Stage. The first one was between Paper Rex and KRÜ Esports. Paper Rex, now back at their full strength, won the Bo3 (best-of-three) series by 2-0 in a relatively dominant fashion. The next match was between EDward Gaming and Giants Gaming. The Bo3 series went the distance as both teams won their map picks. Eventually, EDG closed out the decider map, Ascent to win by 2-1.
The final match of the day was between the Masters winners, Fnatic and Bilibili Gaming. While Fnatic dominated the first map, Haven, BLG certainly made them sweat on the second map, Lotus. However, Fnatic closed out the Bo3 series by 2-0, making their way to the Playoffs. After the first match between Paper Rex and KRÜ Esports, Sportskeeda approached Paper Rex's something to talk about his experience in his first international match.
