Paper Rex has unveiled the return of Wang "Jinggg" Jing, who was benched in October 2023 after registering for National Service.
According to Paper Rex's most recent announcement, medical examinations have determined that the Singaporean "has a life-long medical condition" which makes him "medically unfit for military service." Fortunately, the player's medical condition is "managed with ongoing treatment."
With the Singaporean not being eligible for military service, both Paper Rex and the player discussed his return to the competitive scene starting from VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1. According to the organization's recent statement, the player's "medical condition does not affect his ability to compete at the highest levels of esports." Therefore, he has been added to the starting roster.
