🇸🇬 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.

It’s been a crazy few days which have been filled with a whole range of emotions.
But as you all now know, after an incredible 11 years at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, the time has come for me to start a new chapter in my life and I will be joining Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.
I feel incredibly fortunate, after achieving things with Mercedes that I could only have dreamed of as a kid, that I now have the chance to fulfil another childhood dream. Driving in Ferrari red.
Mercedes has been a huge part of my life since I was 13 years old, so this decision has been the hardest I’ve ever had to make. I’m incredibly proud of all that we’ve achieved together and I’m very grateful for the hard work and dedication of everyone I have worked with over the years and of course Toto, for his friendship, guidance and leadership. Together we have won titles, broken records and become the most successful Driver-Team partnership in F1 history. And of course I cannot forget Niki who was a huge supporter and who I still miss everyday.
I must also share my huge appreciation to the whole of the Mercedes-Benz board and everyone at the company in Germany and around the world for supporting me over these 26 years.
But the time is right to make a change and take on a new challenge. I still remember the feeling of taking a leap of faith into the unknown when I first joined Mercedes in 2013. I know some people didn’t understand it at the time but I was right to make the move then and it's the feeling I have again now. I’m excited to see what I can bring to this new opportunity and what we can do together.
However, right now, I’m not thinking about 2025. My focus is on the upcoming season and getting back out on track with Mercedes. I am more driven than ever, I am fitter and more focussed than than ever and I want to help Mercedes win once again. I am 100% committed to the job I need to do and determined to end my partnership with the team on a high.
Thank you to all of you who have been on this journey with me, you have all lifted me up as I chase my dreams and I hope I can continue to make you proud. As always, sending you my love and positive energy.
