Paper Rex and Riot unveil massive Champions mural, and it’s absolutely bonkers
This is lit.
Paper Rexand Riot Games have just unveiled a special commemorative mural in the heart of Singapore, dedicated to the team and their upcomingValorant Championscampaign.
PRX locked in their spot at Champions in June, following their victory at theVCT APAC Stage 2 Challengers.
The team has remained at the top of APAC and global Valorant since the start of the year, winning back-to-back APAC championships and placing within the top four at both Masters events.
AtMasters Copenhagen, theymade history as the first APAC teamto reach an international final, pushing eventual championsFunPlus Phoenixto the full five maps.
Where is the Paper Rex mural?
The mural can be found at SCAPE at 2 Orchard Link. If you take a picture and tag PRX, the team says they may feature you in the month of September.
The artwork depicts all five PRX players and coach Alexandre “alecks” Sallé, brought to life in stunning color by the inimitable Sam Lo. The giant wall art also contains one-of-a-kind homages to each player.
For instance, Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie loves his lucky cat charms, so Lo spray-painted one in loving detail. Elsewhere, Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto’s hair is a vivid blue, a nod to Yoru — the sly Japanese trickster that no one can play quite like him.
Clad in a t-rex onesie, Benedict “Benkai” Tan’s portrait celebrates one of his most iconic walkout outfits.
Finally, a flaming “W Gaming” keycap sits on the left, the perfect representation of the team’s blazing fast pace and aggression.
PRX will kick off theirChampionsrun on August 31 against China’s Edward Gaming at 10:00 p.m. GMT+8 | 7:00 a.m. PT | 2:00 p.m. GMT. You can catch the match live on the official ValorantTwitchandYouTubechannels.
The two other APAC representatives at Champions,XERXIA EsportsandBOOM Esports, will also be receiving their own exclusive murals in collaboration with local artists Piyasak Khiaosaard and ongkogx.
Fans will also have a chance to win copies of these artworks, signed by the pro teams themselves, by participating in a caption contest that will run from August 24 to September 9.
XERXIA’s mural is located at Victory Hub in Bangkok, while BOOM’s can be found at MBloc Space in Melawai, South Jakarta.
