Paper Rex's coach gave an interview to esports.gg, where he shared the difficulties the team faced when they had to make a forced substitution after their success at Valorant Champions 2023.
Following Paper Rex's second-place finish at Valorant Champions 2023, losing in the final to the championship lineup of Evil Geniuses, the team made a roster change as one of the players, specifically Wang "Jinggg" Jie, was required to undergo military service.
Cahya "Monyet" Nugrah came in to replace Wang "Jinggg" Jie and has integrated well into the team, showing satisfactory results. Despite the fact that the former cannot play for the team, the organization demonstrated its professionalism by keeping the player on the roster and moving him to the bench.
I've never had to deal with a roster change this big before. Losing one of the best players in the team and then after that, having to bring a new player into this place that we've been refining for three yearsAlexandre "alecks" Sallé
It should be noted that despite the difficulties, the team has not lost its strength and continues to dominate on the international stage, securing at least a top-three finish at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid. The full interview can be found at the provided link.
