Paper Rex Chief Gaming Officer Harley “dsn” Örwall highlighted the need for fresh perspectives, stating

“An injection of new blood with young eyes brings fresh perspectives to our game. Adding PatMen to the PRX family allows us to widen our experiments with a greater breadth of playstyles.”

PatMen is known for his flexibility, excelling in both initiator and duelist roles. He recently competed in VCT Challengers 2025 Southeast Asia with NAOS Esports and was previously part of ZOL Esports, which won the Predator League Philippines, an official VCT OFF//SEASON event in 2024.

While PatMen will initially serve as a substitute for Stage 1, sources indicate he is expected to move into the main lineup for Stage 2, potentially replacing either Aaron “mindfreak” Leonhart.

With the VCT circuit becoming more competitive than ever in its fifth year, Paper Rex’s latest addition signals their commitment to evolving their playstyle. Fans can look forward to seeing how PatMen integrates into the squad in the coming months.
