Article By: Shivam

Exciting news just dropped for Pokémon UNITE fans! As the 2025 Asia Champions League gears up, Paper Rex, a well-known esports organization, has announced its entry into the Pokémon UNITE competitive scene by signing the formidable Team MYS roster. Representing Malaysia and Singapore, Team MYS has been a powerhouse in Pokémon UNITE since 2023, consistently showing exceptional performance and establishing a solid reputation.

A Surprise Move by Paper Rex

This announcement came as a surprise to many, as Paper Rex has historically focused exclusively on first-person shooter (FPS) games, gaining fame for its success in titles like VALORANT. Paper Rex’s CEO, @nikhathi, shared insights on this strategic decision:

"It’s a really exciting time to be a Paper Rex fan. I know for a lot of our fans the entrance to Pokémon UNITE may come as a real surprise, since we’ve been known to only operate one team. The slow and methodical approach, and our focus on FPS titles, has always been part of our DNA."

This approach reflects the organization’s commitment to sustainable, strategic growth, and careful expansion into new genres.

Strategic Entry into Pokémon UNITE

The decision to enter the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League aligns with Paper Rex’s long-term goals of becoming a Tier 1 esports organization. As Paper Rex marks its fifth anniversary, the Pokémon Company approached the organization to discuss their vision for the future of the Asia Champions League. The discussion proved to be the perfect opportunity for Paper Rex to explore a new frontier in the mobile gaming and MOBA genre, which has seen exponential growth.

"The opportunity Pokémon UNITE presents comes at a perfect time for our organisation as we approach our 5-year anniversary. When we were approached by the Pokémon Company and they shared their vision of success for the upcoming Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League (PUACL 2025), we felt encouraged that entering this esport was a good testing ground for our future strategy," said @nikhathi.

Why Team MYS?

The choice to recruit Team MYS is rooted in Paper Rex’s values and desire to establish a winning roster from the start. Known for their tenacity and professionalism, Team MYS has demonstrated a successful track record in the Pokémon UNITE scene, making them an ideal fit for Paper Rex. Their competitive spirit embodies Paper Rex’s “#WGAMING” philosophy, promising fans an electrifying team that is ready to challenge the best in Asia.

"The core of TeamMYS that we selected to represent PRX in Pokémon UNITE have demonstrated a tremendous amount of tenacity, professionalism, and a proven track record of success, embodying the #WGAMING spirit wholeheartedly. We’re excited to introduce them to all our fans and we hope that you will give them the same love and support you have with our VALORANT team so far," concluded the CEO.

What This Means for Paper Rex Fans

This expansion marks a bold new chapter for Paper Rex. With Team MYS now representing the organization, fans can expect a blend of fierce competition and a fresh, strategic approach in Pokémon UNITE, all while Paper Rex continues to maintain its identity in the FPS space. As Paper Rex ventures into this new arena, supporters are encouraged to rally behind the team and show the same passion they’ve extended to the VALORANT roster.

The Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2025 promises to be an exciting season, with Paper Rex’s entry adding to the anticipation. Keep an eye out for Team MYS as they take to the battlefield, striving to make their mark and bring home victory for Paper Rex and its fans!
