Predictions
Paper Rex, the top seed from APAC, is anticipated to shine in Valorant Champions 2023. Known for their unique “W gaming” style, they are considered strong contenders for the title and will undoubtedly bring excitement to fans.
KRU Esports, on the other hand, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Despite a disappointing 0-9 score in the regular VCT: Americas league, they defied expectations by winning the VCT: Americas LCQ and securing a spot in Valorant Champions 2023. Their ability to excel under pressure will be tested against Paper Rex’s aggressive approach.
However, Paper Rex remains the favoured team to win this match. With their current lineups, Paper Rex and KRU Esports have never competed against each other before. This encounter marks their first clash.
Paper Rex recently achieved a top-three finish in Masters Tokyo 2023, despite playing with a substitute due to visa issues. With the return of PRX something, their Russian duelist, the team is expected to perform even better. KRU Esports shocked everyone by winning the VCT: Americas LCQ, showcasing their potential to excel. Their journey in Valorant Champions 2023 is awaited with anticipation.
