Paper Rex's contract expirations for f0rsakeN and Jinggg at the end of 2026, combined with the team's 7-8th place finish at VCT Champions 2026 in Shanghai after a disappointing Stage 2, create uncertainty around roster retention. Recent form included a last-place EWC result and limited playoff depth despite earlier Masters finals appearances in 2026 and the 2025 Toronto title. The duo's long tenure since 2021, consistent agent pool contributions in Pacific play, and f0rsakeN's post-elimination comments on continued growth support trader consensus near even odds for both players staying into 2027. Only invy holds a confirmed extension, leaving the rest of the core subject to free agency and organizational decisions.
