Paper Rex vs LOUD: VALORANT Champions Playoff Match Full of Exciting Moments
In a recent VALORANT Champions playoff match between Paper Rex and LOUD, spectators witnessed two of the rarest occurrences in the game’s history. The match showcased the best from both teams, with thrilling moments that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
In a tense moment when the score was tied 3-3, Paper Rex found themselves in a post-plant scenario with a 1v2 situation. As the bomb was ticking down, LOUD managed to trade the final kill successfully. LOUD’s Saadhak attempted to defuse the bomb, well aware of the tight time constraint. His reaction captured the intensity of the moment, as he lost the round by a mere 0.03 seconds. This minuscule time difference turned happiness into sadness in an instant.
Paper Rex managed to secure the round win due to the precious milliseconds bought by their team during the post-plant phase. These critical fractions of time provided them with an early lead, making a significant impact on the overall outcome of the map. In a close match like this, a mere 0.03 seconds could mean the difference between a LOUD map win and a PRX map win.

Only three rounds later, Paper Rex’s Jinggg rose to the occasion. Despite a tough start to the match, facing multiple early deaths due to smart trap plays and accurate shots from the LOUD roster, Jinggg demonstrated resilience. In a pivotal play, he found himself with just one HP after claiming his first two kills along A long.
While his teammates pushed onto the site and successfully planted the spike, Jinggg went upstairs to intercept another enemy rotation, securing his third kill. Every move he made carried immense risk, as a single bullet could end his life. With calculated precision, he capitalized on the element of surprise and made the kill despite his critically low health.
In the final moments, as the last two opponents rushed onto the site to defuse the bomb, Jinggg managed to eliminate one of them who was teleporting while simultaneously trading kills with his teammate. This exceptional play showcased Jinggg’s skill and composure as he secured more than half of an “ace” while being at the lowest health possible.
Considering the dominant performance of LOUD in the second map of Split, the outcome of these two moments could have had a significant impact on the match. It could have turned a 2-0 sweep in favor of the Brazilians into a closely contested series between two highly skilled teams in VALORANT. Nevertheless, one of these teams will now face the lower bracket, and these incredible plays will undoubtedly leave a bitter taste in the losing team’s mouth.
