Team Secret toppled Paper Rex 2-1 in their best-of-three series during the second week of action at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League.
In what was considered a Southeast Asian el clásico, Team Secret and Paper Rex finally battled each other again after the Filipino squad failed to keep up with the Singaporean team in the 2022 season. Prior to their win, Team Secret had lost to Paper Rex twice last year, getting swept 2-0 at VCT Asia-Pacific Stage 2: Challengers Upper Bracket Finals and losing 2-1 at the semifinal of Valorant India Invitational by Galaxy Racer.
During the series, the three veterans of Team Secret showcased their deep bag of agents as they flexed into different agents and roles in each map. DubsteP himself used two Sentinels in Killjoy and Cypher and managed to secure his signature agent, Jett, for the third map at Split. Meanwhile, Jim “” Cuyco swapped between Sova, Fade, and Cypher for each map, respectively.
Team Secret dominated right from the start of each map, winning five out of the six pistol rounds in the series. However, all three games were uncomfortably close. The team lost Game 1 on Haven in a close 13-11 scoreline but were successful in reverse-sweeping them in the next two maps. In Game 1, Team Secret opened the series 5-1 before getting smacked with a five-round win streak from Paper Rex. After the roles got swapped in halftime, the same thing happened again, Team Secret went 5-1 and Paper Rex responded with a five-round win streak that gave them the matchpoint. Team Secret extended the game with a wipeout win in Round 23 but eventually lost to Paper Rex in the next round after.Following the loss at Haven, the second game on Fracture saw an undeterred Filipino squad.
