"I think that's it. We just played too safe, we played too passive, and Indonesia punished us," Jamir said.

Reflecting on the loss, Valorant pro player Xavier "xavi8k" Juan said that the team was ready for the playoffs, but the squad "kept on making mistakes."

Moving forward, Jamir added that the SEA Games experience will help the players to be better after their first international LAN event.

In a later press conference posted on Sibol's Facebook page, Jamir acknowledged that consistency is key to winning at sporting events.

"We expect more talaga na kaya naming kunin 'yung gold. Kaya lang ang pinaka-challenge talaga was to be consistent, to play to the highest level. Siguro 'yon 'yung pinaka naging downfall namin."

The Philippines has one gold medal and two bronze medals in esports as of writing.
