Paper Rex Shuts Down DRX to Clinch Final Spot at Masters Toronto

Southeast Asia’s last remaining representative, Paper Rex, has advanced to the Lower Bracket Finals of VCT Pacific 2025: Stage 1 and secured the final slot for Masters Toronto 2025 after defeating South Korean powerhouse DRX.

Although the teams appeared evenly matched on paper, most analysts and fans had favored DRX to win due to their strong draft strategies in prior matches and home advantage. In a surprising turn of events, however, PRX defied expectations with a commanding 2-0 score, overpowering the Korean giants without mercy.

It was an intense series, but PRX displayed remarkable resilience to counter the reigning VCT Pacific Kickoff 2025 champions. The standout performance came from Jason “f0rsaken” Susanto, who dominated Lotus and Icebox with 36 total kills and an average 60% headshot rate.

The Singaporean juggernaut’s journey isn’t over yet. Aiming to maximize their Pacific standings, PRX must first defeat RRQ in tomorrow’s Lower Bracket Final and then Gen.G in the Grand Finale.
