Paper Rex forever placed first in the Valorant Masters Toronto, crushing Team Heretics in an exhibition worthy of its 2-0 result. And by clean, it really has to be said: 2-0 on both maps, with one of those 13-1.
Starting and ending with a clean sweep was the total domination of this match: The unpredictable and explosive Paper Rex dominated Heretics as always. Some fans and even players asked, “How?” The EMEA second seed was rated by a fan, with some even ridiculing: “EMEA’s second best? 😂,” while another one said, “Guess Heretics forgot to bring their scissors…” Quite rude!
What about Paper Rex? You should. Indeed! The pipeline’s flexibility had people calling it “THE GOAT,” and the general impression was that he could play “controller, initiator, sentinel, duelist… anything.” The intimidation factor was enough to paralyze the opposition, while it seems Heretics did not have anything against it.
Crazy reactions took after the crazy match. While some fans were chanting “PAPER FUCKING REX BABY,” others felt pity for Heretics, with one voice saying, “It’s actually impossible to support Heretics omg.” And then, there are the memes—with one user posting a clip of a train wreck captioned “TH be like.” Brutal but fitting.
And what waits Heretics? Well, a bigger question: are they even out at this point? Some think their mental was broken by Fnatic even before it started, while others just can’t work out how a team meant to contend got rolled this hard. Meanwhile, Paper Rex? That’s the team to beat.
Just judging from this opening game, Valorant Masters Toronto will be insane. And if you missed it, be sure to catch the VOD, since you don’t see a team getting crushed like this every day—unless you’re from EMEA.
After that one thing, what you do know is that Paper Rex are not here to play rough. They are here to take the win, and judging from this performance, do I think the rest of the tournament should be mighty scared!
