Paper Rex Thrives Under Zero Pressure at EWC 2025

Singaporean giants Paper Rex kicked off their Valorant EWC 2025 campaign with a thrilling victory over Chinese powerhouse BiliBili Gaming, securing the top spot in Group A.

The best-of-one match had PRX fans worried early on as they fell behind 10-3. However, taunts from their opponents seemed to ignite a fire within the W Gaming squad. PRX eventually staged a stunning comeback, forcing the game into overtime where they finally clinched victory 16-14.

The match featured brilliant performances from players like Khalish “d4v4i” Rusyaidee and Jason “f0rsaken” Susanto, who delivered several clutch plays. Their ability to adapt to the opponent’s strategy – something other teams often struggle with – earned praise and appeared effortless.

After the match, PRX members attributed their opening win and calm adaptation to feeling little pressure. F0rsaken even mentioned the competition atmosphere felt similar to Masters Toronto, allowing them to maintain the same strong mentality.

PRX is next scheduled for the next group stage round against Karmine Corp. Securing another win would guarantee them a playoff spot and continue their strong momentum.
