Paper Rex Have Very Few Weaknesses
Paper Rex won Group C with victories against G2 Esports (2-1) and Team Liquid (2-1). While both games were relatively close, Paper Rex once more showed why they’re one of the world’s best teams at delivering in clutch moments – a trait that makes them one of the main title contenders in China.
Looking at Paper Rex’s past performances, they have shown solid games on Lotus and Summit; however, their Summit, Split, Abyss, and Haven need some work. This creates a clear vulnerability PR’s opponents could take advantage of
Paper Rex are not perfect, but they have been the most consistent team of the season. Their Stage 2 performance was not great; however, PR also did not have to deliver in VCT Pacific Stage 2 as they were already qualified for VALORANT Champions.

LOUD Are in Hot Form
LOUD finished Group B in second place, with a 0-2 loss against Team Vitality and two 2-0 sweeps of EDward Gaming and Global Esports. The loss to Vitality was not too promising, but LOUD have looked very good this tournament.
The biggest surprise from LOUD is the emergence of tkzin. He has been more of a liability for LOUD in Stage 2, but he has stepped up big time in this tournament, averaging a 1.13 performance rating, the tournament’s second-highest average combat score of 2.49, and the highest (0.90) kills per round.
With tkzin’s emergence and lukxo still holding the tag of one of the best VALORANT players in the world, LOUD look scary, as few teams in VALORANT Champions have enough firepower to hold LOUD back.

Verdict
This match pits two of the world's best teams against each other. Paper Rex have been the most consistent and one of the most successful squads of 2026, whereas LOUD have recently found serious momentum and look like the most in-form team in the scene.
LOUD have also improved their map pool to an extent where they look well-equipped to deal with Paper Rex. However, while LOUD have some strong points, PR are more experienced and more consistent, making it hard to question their tag as favourites.
