🇸🇬 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞 — Paper Rex is happy to announce that Wang "Jinggg" Jing Jie will be returning to competitive play for VCT Pacific, Split 1. After following the due process for compulsory enlistment in Singapore, there have been new developments which allow Jinggg to return to compete in VCT Pacific with Paper Rex.
“We were always prepared for the time that Jing Jie would have to register for his military service. Plans to keep our VALORANT roster’s competitive edge began as early as the start of 2023. However, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate that recent developments allow Jing Jie to continue competing on our team. Naturally, we’re ecstatic and are working to ensure Jing Jie’s documents and paperwork are in order to get him back in the game as soon as possible.” — Harley “dsn” Örvall, Chief Gaming Officer (CGO), Paper Rex

Upon the conclusion of the 2023 VCT Season, Jinggg returned to Singapore to register for National Service. He has been following the due process, which included medical examinations. It has been assessed that Jinggg has a life-long medical condition that is managed with ongoing treatment. Upon medical evaluation and review, he is medically unfit for military service.
Paper Rex has determined that his medical condition does not affect his ability to compete at the highest levels of esports. Jinggg’s medical condition is a personal and private matter, therefore, Paper Rex and Jinggg’s family request that the public respect his privacy in this regard.
Jinggg has remained signed to Paper Rex as a reserve player throughout this time. With the recent developments, we have signed a contract extension until the end of 2026.

Experimentation and flexibility has been a pivotal part of the Paper Rex competitive DNA. Every Paper Rex player has their strengths, and having Jinggg active and up to speed unlocks new options for the way Paper Rex wants to play.
In a difficult decision, Cahya “Monyet” Nugraha has been moved to the reserve player role. Monyet remains part of the Paper Rex VALORANT team, ready to assume an active role should the need arise. Monyet has been assimilating well into the Paper Rex team and played an important role in achieving Paper Rex’s Top 3 result in the recently concluded 2024 VCT Masters Madrid.
