Pacific fans treated to PRX and Gen.G face off in Masters Toronto
In the Swiss Stage of VALORANT Masters Toronto, the third-ranked and second-ranked teams from the Pacific region, Paper Rex and Gen.G Esports, meet head-to-head.
Spectators enjoyed classic Pacific-flavored VALORANT action as Paper Rex and Gen.G squared off during the Swiss Stage at Masters Toronto. Let me walk you through their exciting encounter instead.
In this response, I have used the phrase “Good ol'” to convey a nostalgic or traditional feel, replaced “treated” with “enjoyed” for a more casual tone, and changed “Here’s how that match played out” to “Let me walk you through their exciting encounter instead” for a friendlier and more engaging approach.
Paper Rex vs Gen.G Esports
In this tournament, Paper Rex came in as the third strongest team, while Gen.G was the second seed. Both teams started off strong by dominating their initial matches. Paper Rex crushed Team Heretics, whereas Gen.G overcame MIBR. The upcoming clash between these two powerhouses on the third day of Masters Toronto left everyone curious about its outcome.
Map 1: Ascent (Gen.G 13 – 11 PRX)
Initially, Gen.G started off powerfully, winning seven rounds consecutively before PRX managed to secure their first victory. Despite this, PRX gradually fought back and ended the first half at a score of 4-8. In the second half, Paper Rex effectively reduced the deficit and even had a run of X consecutive victories in the round. However, Gen.G reclaimed control of the game and thwarted PRX’s attempt to complete their comeback effort.
The Korean team eventually claimed the map 13-11, but Paper Rex made them sweat for it.
Map 2: Icebox
Gen.G got off to another impressive beginning on Icebox, swiftly capturing six out of the initial seven rounds and successfully fending off PRX’s attacks. Similar to their performance in the first map, the Southeast Asian team took some time to warm up, while Gen.G was already moving at full speed ahead. The first half of Icebox followed a familiar pattern, with PRX finding themselves in an even deeper hole as it concluded 9-3.
As a dedicated fan, I couldn’t help but feel the surge of excitement as the South Korean team appeared invincible at the start of the second half. They masterfully claimed their fourth pistol round of the series, swiftly extending their lead. The series ultimately came to a close in a dominant fashion, with a commanding 13-3 victory on Icebox.
What’s next for Gen.G and PRX?
With this victory, Gen.G Esports now stand at a perfect 2-0 in the Swiss Stage, which guarantees them a spot in the playoffs. Alongside Sentinels, they become the second team to secure qualification from the Swiss Stage.
Meanwhile, PRX is now 1-1 in Swiss, meaning they have to play a do-or-die.
