Meanwhile, Paper Rex claimed third. They ultimately fell short to Sentinels in a 3-1 defeat in the lower bracket final.

Paper Rex made headlines before the tournament with the return of Wang “Jinggg” Jie to the active roster, prompting Cahya “Monyet” Nugraha to step back to the team’s bench.

As these two powerhouse teams prepare for their next clash, they will showcase their dominance while other Pacific League teams aim to prove their mettle.
