Today in Korea, the VCT 2024: Pacific Stage 2 continues, where teams battle for a spot in the world championship. In the match between ZETA DIVISION and Paper Rex, Paper Rex won 2-1. Despite the defeat, ZETA DIVISION players shared their thoughts at the press conference after the game.
Head coach Carlao noted that Paper Rex is a really good team with a unique playstyle that sets them apart from other teams in the Pacific League. He mentioned that it was very challenging to play against them due to their minimal mistakes. Defending Lotus was particularly difficult. He felt a similar situation occurred with Talon Esports when their team also struggled defensively against Paper Rex. Even in their attacks, the team couldn't afford mistakes.
Discussing the difficulties on Lotus and Sunset maps, Carlao remarked:
Paper Rex is a very strong team, and playing against them is always tough. We had our challenges on defense at Lotus and on the Sunset map, which affected the outcome.
Speaking at the press conference, Laz noted:
This match was our last of the season, and we tried to give it our all. I'm satisfied with our performance, especially that we managed to win on Ascent.
Yesterday's victory secured Paper Rex spot in VALORANT Champions 2024. However, for ZETA DIVISION, the VCT 2024: Pacific Stage 2 tournament has come to an end, with the team exiting the competition in 7th-8th place.
