Paper Rex has officially locked in their VALORANT roster for VCT 2026 with the signing of Adrian Jiggs “invy” Reyes, bringing in one of the Pacific region’s most reliable flex players to fill the gap left by Patrick “PatMen” Mendoza’s departure.
Invy arrives at PRX after a strong stint with Team Secret, where he consistently ranked among the top performers in VCT Pacific and helped the squad lift the APAC Predator League trophy in 2024. The move caps off a turbulent but ambitious offseason for the Singapore-based giants as they look to keep pace in an increasingly stacked competitive VALORANT landscape.
Paper Rex described him as a player they had on their “radar” for a while, praising both his tier-one experience and in-game flexibility as key reasons for the signing.
According to Paper Rex Chief Gaming Officer Harley “dsn” Örvall, adding a seasoned player like invy is part of the team’s push to “evolve and iterate faster” as VALORANT matures past its fifth year and the VCT circuit grows more competitive.
He also highlighted invy’s arrival as a direct upgrade in firepower as the organization aims to maintain its place among the world’s elite. “The coaches and players have worked hard over the offseason and determined that adding a seasoned player like invy to the PRX family allows us to upgrade our firepower,” dsn said in PRX’s X post.
With invy’s arrival, Paper Rex now fields a five-man core of Khalish “d4v41” Rusyaidee, Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto, Ilia “something” Petrov, and Wang Jing “Jinggg” Jie, supported by head coach Alexandre “alecks” Sallé, performance coach Laijhun “Panda” Cheng, assistant coach Ashton “Wendler” Wendler, and team manager Kumeresan “Tommy” Ramani.
Invy has already started practicing with the squad, and his first match representing the Singapore powerhouse will be at the VALORANT Radiant International Invitational in Fuzhou, China, running from Dec. 18 to 22.
Paper Rex framed the signing as the latest step in a broader offseason rebuild, following internal reviews involving players, coaches, and performance staff. That process ultimately led to cutting Rookie of the Year PatMen despite his breakout 2025 campaign.
From this move, it’s clear that PRX is willing to make tough calls if they believe it will raise the ceiling of the team. With invy now in the mix, PRX heads into VCT 2026 with a refreshed identity and yet another chance to prove their aggressive style can still define the top level of VALORANT.
