One of the most unexpected VALORANT agents at VCT Masters Tokyo comes from a substitute player who helps his team place in the top three. When Patiphan “CGRS” Posri was unexpectedly called up, he brought his Gekko-style tactics to help challenge the best—and frequently succeeded.

However, following the release of the agent, the coaching staff changed him into a Gekko main in case he turned out to be the meta. Expectations for the squad weren’t very high, but CGRS and Paper Rex shocked everyone by going deep in Tokyo, forcing Gekko to use a lot of easy-to-use combos that led to round wins.

Paper Rex has only successfully used the Gekko on two maps so far: Lotus and Bind. Many of these plays are effective even when the Gekko is chosen because they focus on two main goals: ultimate combos and ability retrieval. Starting off, we have a play that CGRS has executed nearly each time Paper Rex visits the C site during a Lotus attack. 

CGRS throws his Dizzy blind straight up at the start of the round, just behind the little wall on the right side of the choke. Even if the blind miss, if it pings, his team will be made aware of their presence. In order to use it again later in the round, he can then simply retrieve it from where he left it.

Using the blind to clear space while also using it to peek around corners, gather information, and quickly reclaim the blind for future use are the two most important considerations for your ranked games. When it comes to ultimate moves, CGRS performed some nasty ones with teammates Khalish “d4v41” Rusyaidee, Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie, and Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto—all at various times.
