The Paper Rex team secured a convincing victory over ZETA DIVISION at the VCT Pacific 2025 Kickoff tournament and advanced to the second round of the lower bracket. After the match, f0rsakeN , one of the key players, discussed the win and the team's current state in an interview on the official broadcast.

Regaining Form

f0rsakeN mentioned that the team regained their confidence after dropping to the lower bracket:

"We always grow when we're in the lower bracket. We analyze our mistakes and try to learn from them. I think we've found our form again," said the player.

Playing as Different Agents

When asked if he ever gets tired of playing as various agents, f0rsakeN emphasized that he enjoys exploring new possibilities:

"I like trying something new. Exploring and studying agents is exciting."

Opinion on the New Agent Vyse

f0rsakeN also shared his thoughts on the new agent Vyse, who recently joined the game:

"Honestly, Vyse is just broken. Her flashes and walls are incredibly strong. They can really frustrate opponents, and when the enemy picks her, we need to change our strategy. Vyse is a great agent."

Tejo Didn't Fit the Team

The interview also discussed the choice of the agent Tejo in the match against T1 on the Fracture map, which was soon dropped:

"Today, I just wanted to play Sky. I got a bit tired of Tejo, and we've already tried different agent compositions on this map." explained f0rsakeN

Current Meta

Regarding the current state of the team, f0rsakeN acknowledged that the map pool is favorable for Paper Rex right now, but also mentioned that the new meta requires adapting to the presence of Tejo. Among the teams he's especially watching at the tournament, he highlighted T1 .

Paper Rex continues to compete at the VCT Pacific 2025 Kickoff, and according to f0rsakeN , the team is focused on future success.
