Paper Rex

It was about time that the PRX squad finally felt the absence of something. Despite being considered underdogs in the matchup against FNATIC, no one could have anticipated the sheer humiliation they experienced in their defeat. As they now venture into the lower bracket, the uncertainty surrounding the visa status of something is becoming a significant cause for concern for the Singaporean team.

EDward Gaming

The Cinderella run of EDward Gaming continues to amaze the Valorant community. What was already a dream-like journey for the Chinese team got even more illustrated after the historic win over the 2022 VCT Champions winner, LOUD. PRX better bring their A-game because Kangkang and Co are coming to win it all in this event.
