Paper Rex are firm favourites to stop Wolves Esports’ Cinderella run when they meet in the VALORANT Masters Toronto semifinals this Friday.
The VCT Pacific representatives have been on a roll since the conclusion of VCT 2025 Pacific Stage 1. They have won 10 of 12 games played, which includes 2-0 sweeps of G2 Esports and Sentinels in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
Wolves Esports have been just as impressive. They made it through the Swiss Stage with a 2-1 record and added two remarkable victories against Rex Regum Qeon and Gen.G Esports during their upper-bracket run.
The Chinese VALORANT team have been the biggest surprise of the Toronto Masters. With momentum on their side, they look more than ready to leave a dent in Paper Rex; however, there are some questions regarding their map pool.
Paper Rex have been far more efficient on Icebox (75% vs 67%) and Fracture (67%), which Wolves do not play.
The favourites are also stronger on Pearl (67% vs 40%) and Lotus (89% vs 17%) while holding a 100% win rate over four maps played on Sunset over the last month, compared to Wolves’ 1-0 record on the map.
The Chinese squad, however, are better on Split (75% vs 67%) and Ascent (67% vs 20%).
Even though Paper Rex have a higher ceiling, Wolves Esports should get at least one favourable map, which should result in a competitive three-map game.
