Paper Rex Top 3, Clutch 1 vs 4 From Mindfreak Show He’s The World’s Best Controller!
On day 8 of Masters 2 Copenhagen, the only Asia Pacific team left was Paper Rex. After defeating the Guild in the top 8 2-0, they had to face European giants, Fnatic.
Fnatic itself was the EMEA champion team in Stage 2 yesterday and is one of the favorites to win at the Copenhagen Masters.
Many fans from Asia, especially Indonesia want to see a very heated duel between the champions of APAC and EMEA. Fans want to see if the current Southeast Asian team is very far from the best European teams, or are we really on par with them?
It seems we saw the answer last night when Paper Rex was able to advance to the Upper Bracket Finals after defeating Fnatic 2-0.
