In the match between Paper Rex and The Guard, the North American champion was bounced off “cold water” when it failed 10-13 on Haven map. This is also the map selected by The Guard itself. However, on the day Jingg and F0rsaken continued to sublimate with Jett and Reyna, The Guard did not have any opportunities to gain superiority against Paper Rex.
Having excited psychological state, Paper Rex shows why I am the No. 1 team of the APAC area. Entering the 2nd match at the Split map, Jingg shines again when bringing out Raze and owning up to 28 defeat points. Meanwhile, F0rsaken is not inferior with 21 defeat points, and bringing in 13-8 victory for Paper Rex.
Defeating The Guard 2-0 quickly, Paper Rex is still on the journey to conquer Masters 1 when going on the losing branch. The next opponent of F0rsaken and his teammates is the loss in the Dragonx – Optic Gaming match. In addition to the failure of The Guard, Western fans also welcomed the sad news when Team Liquid lost to Zeta Divison.
In the first time participating in the play-off a big tournament, Zeta Divison surprised to defeat the Liquid 2-1 team, thereby seeing off the team from the EMEA area to leave the tournament. With both Fnatic and Team Liquid were eliminated, EMEA was forced to put her faith in G2 Esports. The opponent of G2 Esports in the Branch will be Loud of the Brazilian area.
Masters 1 Reykjavik is witnessing the reach of the Eastern teams when both Dragonx, Paper Rex and Zeta Division are extremely impressive. With Loud, Brazil's biggest hope is still the brightest candidate for the championship after what was shown before the Liquid team in the first round of the Play-off.
