Paper Rex vs Gen.G - Which team will make their way to the Upper Finals of VCT Pacific Stage 2?
Predictions
Paper Rex have always been one of the strongest teams in the Pacific region. They have continued to do so in the 2024 season as well. The team has qualified for all the international events this year: Masters Madrid, Masters Shanghai, and finally Valorant Champions 2024. Their Stage 2 performance has looked impeccable as they have achieved a record of five wins and zero losses.
Gen.G are currently the best team in the world. While their second-place finish in Masters Madrid was quite impressive, the team pushed beyond the region's highest point to finally win Pacific its first international trophy in Masters Shanghai. They have continued that momentum for Stage 2 with three wins and only one loss.
Predicting the winner of Paper Rex vs Gen.G is difficult as both teams have looked great in their recent matches. However, Gen.G has shown a lot more structure and consistency throughout the 2024 season and can, therefore, win this Bo3 (Best-of-three) series. However, Paper Rex is going to make things extremely difficult for them.
