But all throughout the best-of-5 match, you wouldn’t have known that. They shocked Indonesia with a game 1 victory, with one of their players sneaking from the weak side, destroying their towers, and eventually their base – the game’s most important play. Kenneth Villa said it was just instinctual to go for the tactic. They had been losing the team clashes, so when a fight broke out on one side of the map, he took the opportunity to wreak havoc in the undefended lane.

It was Indonesia’s series to lose at that point. Their collapse came at the start of game 4 when they decided not to ban Esmeralda. As expected, Karl Nepomuceno picked the hero, and gifted the Indonesians with a triple kill in the first team clash, consistently adding more throughout the game. Indonesia banned Esmeralda in the next game but that wouldn’t matter as they completely fell apart in game 5.Hindi ko alam sa kanila [kung bakit hindi sila nag-ban].

Their coach, the Korean Changrok Im, held back the tears in the post-match interview. “I’m Korean but I always feel like, in my heart, I’m a Filipino. Today, I put my right hand on my heart when the national anthem was sung, and it felt so meaningful that I can’t express it in words.”
