Facing the tournament favorites Sentinels, Paper Rex put on a strategic masterclass. With a 2–0 sweep, they not only broke Sentinels’ winning streak but sent shockwaves through the tournament.
Continuing their hot streak, PRX cleanly defeated Wolves Esports 2–0 to secure their spot in the Grand Final — without dropping a single map in the playoffs.
