The wait for an international title continues for Paper Rex.
In the VALORANT Masters London grand final, LEVIATÉN defeated PRX 3-2 to win the organization’s first international title in its debut on the biggest stage.
The South American team became the first LatAm organization and the youngest team to win a Masters championship. After losing to Nongshim RedForce (NS) at Masters Santiago, PRX’s defeat marks their second bridesmaid finish of the year.
On Fracture, PRX took the lead early in the grand final and never looked back. Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto, Khalish “d4v41” Rusyaidee, and Wang Jing Jie or “Jinggg” all made clutch plays, including a fantastic triple kill with his ultimate ability. PRX easily defeated LEV, winning 13–2.
LEV responded to Split by changing its strategy, with Eduardo “Sato” switching to Phoenix. After a tightly contested first half that ended 6-6, LEVIATÁN took over after the break, winning seven of the next eight rounds to claim the map 13-6 and level the series.
Breeze remained close throughout, with both teams trading momentum. PRX recovered an early deficit before d4v41 delivered crucial late-round plays to help the team edge out a 13-11 victory, moving within one map of the championship.
Ascent proved to be another back-and-forth battle. Although PRX held a narrow halftime lead, LEV fought back behind standout performances from spike, eventually winning 13-10 to force a deciding fifth map.
The championship came down to Lotus, where LEV took control of the opening rounds. Sato and Guilherme “blowz” Oliviera delivered key plays to build an early advantage, while PRX struggled to find answers as the series slipped away.
LEVIATÁN closed out Lotus, 13-5, to defeat Paper Rex, 3-2, and claim the organization’s first-ever VALORANT Masters title. Spike starred in the final two maps, finishing the series with 19 first kills, a 213 ACS, and a 23% KAST to lead LEV to the championship.
The Final scoreboard looked like this:
PRX will see action once again during Stage 2 of the VCT 2026: Pacific this July.
