Paper Rex Form

Paper Rex enter this match with a very impressive 7-1 record, which puts them in an excellent spot to finish the season first. They still have to play ZETA DIVISION after this match, so unless something goes terribly wrong, Paper Rex should secure at least eight wins.

According to the esports betting odds on Stake, Paper Rex shouldn’t have many issues beating Rex Regum Qeon either. They’re in great form, having beaten Talon Esports (2-0), DRX (2-1), and DetonatioN FocusMe (2-0) without problems.

But Paper Rex did drop one map against DRX, who are arguably at the same level as Rex Regum Qeon.

Rex Regum Qeon have done relatively well this stage. They lost to Talon Esports in a very competitive game and played an excellent series against DRX, proving they are capable of doing some damage, even against the league’s top teams.

Verdict

Paper Rex v Rex Regum Qeon

Paper Rex will want to win this match to get to eight wins, and while they should be able to get it done, Rex Regum Qeon are not an easy team to crack. They’ve shown good games this season and seem to be in good form.

They’ve done well against other strong teams, including Gen.G, who Rex Regum Qeon beat 2-1 in Stage 1. And their 2-0 sweep of DRX last week isn’t something to ignore.

There’s a chance Paper Rex just run over Rex Regum Qeon on Friday. But at 2.00, Rex Regum Qeon are a good bet to win a map.
