The winning side’s head Coach Tommi Tilikainen, a 35-year-old Finnish legendary expert, was relaxed during the public interview, “we could’ve shown more skills here, but at least we were pretty close today”.
The tournament’s MVP Lim Dong-Hyeok, Jumbos’ opposite spiker, stated in the interview – We were defeated by Vixtorm at the tournament final two years ago, so I am happy today. Furthermore, as Vixtorm’s outsider hitter Herry Kim Ji-Han had declared to block me publicly yesterday, that was a good stimulation today”.
South Korea’s 2022-23 season league, both men and women, is due to begin on October 22.
The tournament was held at the country’s southwestern city Suncheon on Sunday (August 28) afternoon.
