Evil Geniuses had a slightly longer road to this encounter with Paper Rex. Bronze in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, in addition to $40,000, gave the team a trip to Japan for the tournament. The group stage draw put Evil Geniuses in Group B, which EG won confidently, beating FUT Esports and DRX 2-0.

This result helped the American squad to qualify for the top play-offs. Their first opponent was LOUD. The 2-0 victory allowed Evil Geniuses to advance to the semi-finals of the tournament, where they played against Team Liquid. Liquid were unable to offer proper resistance to EG, losing two games in a row. For Evil Geniuses this match was their second attempt to reach the grand final of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo. In their previous top-seeded final, they lost 1-2 to Fnatic and were one step away from the slot in the final match.

Evil Geniuses recent results statistics:

1-2 defeat to Fnatic

As winners of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, Paper Rex were invited to advance directly to the play-offs of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, eliminating the group stage.

In the play-offs, mindfreak and his teammates have already played three matches and have been drawn in both the top and bottom sections. Their first opponent for the quarter-finals of the winner's net was DRX, whom Paper Rex outplayed 2-0. In the semi-finals, the Asia-Pacific representatives faced Fnatic, who became an impassable test for them. Having lost on two maps in a row, Paper Rex went down to the bottom of the table. In the quarterfinals of the gridiron, Paper Rex defeated EDward Gaming 2-1. Mindfreak and team made it to the bottom net final thanks to a win over NRG.

Evil Geniuses Переможе

Evil Geniuses and Paper Rex will meet in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo lower net final. Once again, the Asian team surprises with a surprising result as they once again beat the favourite to advance.

However, now Paper Rex will face Evil Genius, who are themselves a revelation in this championship. And in terms of play, Evil Geniuses can be called a direct copy of the Asians, as the North Americans also rely on fast play and unexpected maneuvers.

In general, I will continue to stand my ground and consider Paper Rex to be a weak team, which doesn't offer anything interesting and wins only by the mistakes of their opponents. So here I would lean on the Evil Geniuses team to win.

Evil Geniuses form

The third team of the North American ranking strongly surprised in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League playoffs, as they managed to come back from a poor performance in the regular season and made it to Tokyo.

Furthermore, Evil Geniuses continued to surprise in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, where they crushed FUT Esports and DRX.

As for the play-offs, the North American squad took on LOUD and Team Liquid in time to take on Fnatic in the final of the Top Ten. On the other hand, Evil Geniuses again looked decent, so it makes sense to see them in the grand final.

Evil Geniuses latest results:

A 2-0 win over FUT Esports.
A 2-0 win over DRX.
A 2-0 win over LOUD.
Beat Team Liquid 2-0.
Defeat by Fnatic 1-2.

Evil Geniuses top scorers:

Fracture - 82% wins.
Ascent - 67% wins.
Split - 50% wins.
Lotus - 50% wins.
Pearl - 50% wins.

Let's not forget that the North American team doesn't usually appear on the Bind map.

The first Asian Pacific team surprised in their VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, as they managed to win the championship after a disappointing regular season.

However, Paper Rex came to VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo in a weakened form, clearly affected by the devastating defeat to Fnatic in the top net semi-finals.

On the other hand, the Asian team never tires of jumping ahead of themselves. And if the victory over DRX can still be explained, the recent victories over EDward Gaming and NRG are very much out of the picture of what's going on.

Paper Rex's latest results:

A 3-2 win over DRX.
A 2-0 win over DRX.
A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.
Beat EDward Gaming 2-1.
Beat NRG 2-1.

Top scores for Paper Rex:

Haven - 100% wins.
Bind - 83% wins.
Pearl - 75% wins.
Fracture - 71% wins.
Split - 63% wins.
Lotus - 57% wins.
Ascent - 50% wins.

In turn, the Asian team has steadily given up on Haven.

As I said above, I don't see Paper Rex as a promising team. Even among similarly styled teams, the Asians don't really stand out. And the main rival (in terms of pace) is Evil Geniuses.

Yes, I don't like the North American team too much, but Evil Geniuses may surprise in the current climate. All the more so by the game Evil Geniuses deserved to play once again with Fnatic.

The only downside for the North Americans could be the card selection, but even in this respect Paper Rex is far from the most stable team. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Evil Geniuses to win.
