VCT Pacific Stage 1 champions Paper Rex announced on May 20, 2024 that reserve player Cahya “Monyet” Nugraha has been granted permission to explore offers from other teams.

Monyet was pivotal to PRX’s success at the start of the VCT 2024 season, but the organization wants to see the Indonesian player rejoin the active competitive scene.

“Cahya is an incredibly talented player and a fierce competitor,” said Chief Gaming Officer Harley “dns” Ovrall. “As a reserve player, he has always been staying sharp and ready to fill in if any emergencies arose.”

“We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have a player like him on our reserve roster,” continued Ovrall. “However, Cahya has also expressed his deep desire to actively compete again, and PRX wants to allow him to explore opportunities.”

Monyet was moved to PRX’s inactive roster after Masters Madrid when Wang “Jinggg” Jie rejoined the team on March 29, 2024.

The Indonesian player did not participate in any VCT Pacific Stage 1 matches. Instead, he co-streamed PRX’s games, which garnered strong regional support for PRX and VCT Pacific.
