Jinggg after victory over FURIA: “I think I am the best Raze"

Paper Rex player Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie shared his thoughts after defeating FURIA in the opening match of the playoff stage at VALORANT Masters Santiago 2026. In a post-match interview, the duelist spoke about the team’s comeback after a difficult first map, his role flexibility, and potential opponents in the next round.

About FURIA choosing Paper Rex

At the start of the interview, Jinggg admitted that the team did not expect FURIA to select them as their opponent for the opening playoff series.

I didn't think they would pick us, so I was kind of surprised that they picked us. But yeah, I think it was a good matchup and probably was a good game.

What went wrong for Paper Rex on Haven

The first map of the series was difficult for Paper Rex. Jinggg explained that the team relied too much on individual plays, which affected their coordination.

I think on Haven, we were playing too individually and we didn't really have teamwork, so we figured out that we just had to play more as a team. And it showed on the second and third map.

About playing Raze and flexing other agents

Jinggg was also asked about his role in the roster. While he mainly plays Raze, the player is also ready to switch agents if the team composition requires it.

Yeah, I think I am the best Raze because I played it the most. And for flexing on other agents, I just play what my team needs. And yeah, I'm really happy that we managed to win today.

Possible opponent in the next match

At the end of the interview, Jinggg commented on who he would prefer to face next in the tournament bracket.

I think I would like to play against BBL because we have already played against NRG. So I want to play against as many different teams as possible.
