VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1: Global Esports vs. Paper Rex
Ever since the Valorant Champions Tour gathered the best teams from the Pacific region, we've witnessed gaming titans clash. Now, we’re about to watch a duel for survival as Global Esports and Paper Rex take the stage for the main event in Week 3 of VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1. Although they’re positioned differently in the group standings, with Global Esports holding a record of one win and three losses and Paper Rex boasting two wins and a single loss, both teams are holding the third position within their respective groups.
Despite their similar standings, the stakes diverge significantly for each team. Paper Rex finds themselves in a favorable position to secure a spot in the playoffs, whereas Global Esports urgently needs a victory to stay in the competition. Whoever wins will boost their score just enough to guarantee a spot in the next stage.

Global Esports, once considered a weaker contender in Valorant Pro-play, has shown that they can take down any world-class team in recent matches, showcasing their potential to dominate maps effectively and come up with out-of-the-box strategic decisions. Their recent performance against Rex Regum Qeon was a statement, proving their ability to compete against top-tier opponents. On the other hand, Paper Rex has regained momentum with Jinggg's return, reverting to their formidable form from the 2023 Valorant Champions season. Despite a setback against Team Secret, Paper Rex's aggressive playstyle poses a formidable challenge for any opponent. |
Given Paper Rex's strong performances and renewed confidence, they enter this matchup as clear favorites. However, Global Esports must deliver a standout performance to overcome Paper Rex's dominance in this Best-of-Three series.
