Jin Air’s miraculous victory came from a very resilient home defense having lost all three soldiers. With Sivir’s monstrous damage in Park’s hands”Teddy” Jin-sung, the “laser at the ancient stone platform” in the words of the Korean caster, strongly repelled each wave of SKT’s attacks, making the game extremely dramatic.
