Paper Rex’s Benedict “Benkai” Tan thought the team “exceeded expectations” by making it to the grand finals of Masters Copenhagen.
After winning the Asia Pacific Challengers 2 Paper Rex came into Copenhagen as the number one seed, allowing them to skip the group stage entirely. During playoffs Paper Rex would start off undefeated against EMEA while also dethroning the former Masters champions OpTic Gaming. With an overall 6–1 map count headed into the finals, Paper Rex was favored to win their matchup against FunPlusPhoenix.
