Team Heretics vs Paper Rex at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid: Who will win the final match of Swiss Stage Round 2?

Prediction

Team Heretics is an up-and-coming team. Few people expected to see as much success this early on in the VCT 2024 season. Adding Dominykas "MiniBoo" Lekavičius and Benjy "benjyfishy" Fish seems to pay dividends as the youngsters have dominated the server in most matches.

Paper Rex is a tried-and-tested squad, but coming into VCT 2024 Masters Madrid, they seemed a little shaky on both Bind and Split. Despite some solid individual performances, the overall synergy seemed a little off.

The result of today's Team Heretics vs. Paper Rex game depends significantly on whether PRX can get back their footing and play like the well-oiled machine they have been so far. If not, Team Heretics would run away with the series, effectively killing PRX's aspirations of winning an international tournament again.

Team Heretics and Paper Rex have only played one official match against each other in October-November 2024, at the Valorant India Invitational by Galaxy Racer, where PRX defeated TH 3-1.
