“This match and Tokyo match felt so similar,” Boostio answered when asked about how it feels playing against the unorthodox style of Paper Rex. “It feels so impossible sometimes just to play rounds against them, and it’s like honestly just not fun to play against them.”

Speaking about the Singaporeans’ playstyle, Boostio commented, “They’re really good, but they’re just so aggressive. Like, I’ll be trying to call something, and then two of them swing on mid-doors, and then we’ll trade, and then it’s not the best call anymore because they know where we are at. So, there’s a lot going on versing them, and it sucks, but umm, what are you gonna do?”
