Changes continue in the roster of the silver medalists of the world championship - Paper Rex say goodbye to their main substitute CigaretteS

Recently, the Valorant community found out that the Singaporean team Paper Rex is releasing Patiphan Posri, better known on the professional stage as "CigaretteS”, from his duties. This became known from the official document from Riot - Valorant Champions Tour Global Contract Database, and later was confirmed by the team itself along with the player.

Patiphan "CigaretteS” Posri, a Thai player, joined Paper Rex in October 2022 as the sixth player and the main substitute in the team. Patiphan diligently fulfilled his role as a reserve member, and thanks to him, the team earned several prize places at various tournaments, including a victory at VCT 2023: Pacific League, as well as third place at Masters Tokyo 2023. At the last world championship, CigaretteS did not participate in the matches, because the main player “something” managed to get a visa and get to the championship. Despite all his achievements during the season, it can be boldly stated that if Paper Rex had performed with the substitute, they would hardly have managed to achieve second place.

Let us remind you that this is not the first change in the Paper Rex gaming roster; it was recently known that the team is actively looking for a replacement for Jinggg, who will miss the next VCT season due to mandatory military service. The main candidate to replace the star player is Monyet, about which we wrote in our material.

The organization warmly said goodbye to the player, stating that during the time spent on the team, he became more than just a player or substitute.

CigaretteS played an irreplaceable role in our wonderful year in VCT. His best moment was the VCT Masters Tokyo tournament, where he fearlessly accepted the challenge and entered the game at the shortest notice. He was not just a teammate, he was a reliable friend and brother, who always supported everyone. Thank you for everything, Kla. Your legacy will remain with us.

Let us remind you that the competitive VCT season has ended, which means that after the opening of the transfer window, most teams will be making changes to the roster. Therefore, continue to follow our site to be aware of all transfers and reshuffles.
