Talon Esports vs Paper Rex Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific League

Patiphan and f0rsakeN finally face each other on the Talon Esports vs Paper Rex matchup 

The Thai superstars have never faced off against the Singaporean Paper Rex, even though they are two of the most well-known rosters of Pacific Valorant. This will likely be a win for Paper Rex, with Ilya “something” Petrov bringing excellent Jett plays in this VCT. Here’s what we are expecting from this match:

Talon Esports

Talon are coming from their first win last week out of five matches in VCT Pacific. Their win against ZETA came in a 2-0 fashion, with sushiboys and garnetS switching spots on the second map. With a 1-4 record, it’s hard to see this roster competing in the Playoffs, but anything can happen in the world of Valorant!

The addition of something has worked out great for the Singaporeans, as this Jett player picked up 58 frags in three maps against Global Esports on PRX’s last match. However, they are underperforming in VCT so far, as we expected them to be in one of the top three spots. Nonetheless, PRX are the favorites in this series and will likely pick up an easy win.
