Perhaps there has never been a season where T1 has engaged with the community as much as in 2024, right after they just won the 2023 World Championship. Activities celebrating the championship, welcoming Faker into the Hall of Legends… Of course, most events revolve around the entire T1 team or Faker. However, recently, T1 fans were astonished when the team released 2 cheer songs specifically for Zeus and Oner with incredibly… “quirky” melodies and lyrics.
Specifically, the song for Zeus is based on the famous Ole Ole Ole melody in the sports world, especially in soccer, but adapted to the name of the T1 top laner. Meanwhile, the cheer song for Oner is titled “O! ner is The One”. The lyrics are in Korean, but many viewers find the melody quite reminiscent of certain soundtracks from superhero movies.
Both songs have been well received by T1 fans. However, the general sentiment among viewers is uncertainty on how to express their feelings. These songs sound quite cheerful, but no one understands why T1 released cheer songs specifically for these players. After all, there has hardly been any player with their own cheer song, at least in the LCK and the League of Legends scene in general.
Moreover, if players like Zeus or Oner are involved, the timing of when these cheer songs will be used is still a big question. If it’s during the players’ entrance to greet the audience, that doesn’t seem fitting, as this moment usually involves the whole team moving together. Waiting until the players achieve MVP of the match also leaves one wondering what that moment would be like.
But nonetheless, the songs are being received positively by fans. Many opinions also look forward to the moment these songs are sung, whether in LCK or at the World Championship, to see how the players will react.
