Match Analysis

The two VCT Pacific teams with arguably the strongest firepower in the scene are set to face off in the grand final of Pacific Stage 1.

Both teams have qualified for the upcoming VCT Masters London tournament but are still playing to become the best team in the region. The Thai squad are yet to drop a single map in the entire playoffs.

That’s right – they managed to beat the likes of KRX, T1, and Global Esports without losing a single map. All of the matches have been 2-0 victories, with Primmie leading the charge with an average 1.31 rating.

Primmie and friends will take on Paper Rex in the grand final – the final boss of the region. Paper Rex had a slow start to the playoffs, losing to Global Esports in their first match. However, if there’s one thing we’ve learned about this team – it’s that they play even better under pressure.

The Southeast Asian mix beat KRX and T1 to secure their spot in Masters London. Then, they’ve gathered enough momentum to sweep Global Esports in the lower bracket final, and FULL SENSE are next on their hit list.

Both teams took down the same opponents to get to the grand final, but FULL SENSE won their matches more convincingly. It’s going to be a tightly contested series.

However, in terms of recent form, it’s hard to ignore FULL SENSE in the equation. With how well Primmie is playing, they have all the tools to make this series competitive. Though we think Paper Rex will win this series through experience, we also think FULL SENSE are good enough to at least make the series close in rounds.
