Entering the grand final with map veto advantage, Paper Rex played to their strengths, banning Haven and Ascent and letting Sunset through as the opener. Despite an early 0-4 start, the PRX train roared back with eight consecutive rounds on attack. Fnatic threatened a comeback in the second half, but a clutch Sage wall boost in the final round gave PRX a 13-11 win. Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto led from the front, combining crisp mechanics with smart calling in his new role as IGL.

Icebox became an instant classic. Fnatic’s rookie Kajetan “kaajak” Haremski was monumental, dropping 32 kills and constantly disrupting PRX with his deadly Operator. After blowing a 12-7 lead, Fnatic managed to drag the map to overtime, where they edged out a 17-15 win. It was their only map of the series, and even that came with difficulty.

Pearl, Fnatic’s permaban, was a gamble they weren’t ready for. Emir “Alfajer” Beder looked electric on Neon in the first half, but PRX’s tactical depth and disruptive play—especially Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie’s signature Judge entries—turned the tide. Winning eight of the last nine rounds, PRX closed out a 13-10 win to go up 2-1 in the series.

Lotus, the final map, lived up to its billing as a brawler’s arena. The VALORANT teams traded clutch plays and momentum swings, with Fnatic holding a 12-11 lead and threatening to take the series the distance. But PRX didn’t blink. A 2v4 post-plant hold from f0rsakeN and Ilia “something” Petrov sealed a 14-12 overtime victory—and the title.

The win marked redemption for a team haunted by past grand final losses at Masters Copenhagen 2022 and VALORANT Champions 2023. F0rsakeN’s MVP performance (81/75 KDA, 1.11 rating) was a testament to his growth as both a fragger and leader. The team’s emotions spilt over on stage, with heartfelt speeches from Khalish “d4v41” Rusyaidee, Jinggg, and coach Alexandre “alecks” Sallé thanking fans and reflecting on the years of hard work.

For Paper Rex, this was more than a win—it was the fulfilment of destiny. The train has finally reached its station.
