ZETA DIVISION and Paper Rex will meet in the seventh round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League regular season, where they will actually play-offs.
It must be said that the Singapore team managed to wake up in the course of the tournament to emerge from the dreaded Long Sogpeg. The Japanese team, on the other hand, has been extremely unstable, playing out of hand in places.
So here I wouldn't put much faith in ZETA DIVISION, who are more likely to make mistakes than surprises in close matches. So here I would lean on the Paper Rex team to win.

ZETA DIVISION vs Paper Rex
Despite the head-to-head stats, the Japanese team has been slowing down considerably. And even in this championship, ZETA DIVISION has been playing extremely slowly, while the Singaporeans have been getting tougher with every match. So in this case I'd recommend betting on Paper Rex to win.
