Paper Rex sets up an upper bracket semifinal match-up against LOUD at VCT Champions 2023.
Ascent was the map of choice in the first match, which was chosen by FUT.
However, it was PRX who started the map off by taking the pistol round.
FUT would immediately respond by winning the thrifty and the subsequent round after that.
PRX would take the last round before the half, which placed them at a 4-8 disadvantage.
Game two was on Pearl, a map that PRX was 2-0 with at VCT Champions 2023.
