Oner is proving himself truly worthy of the title “Successor of Bengi”
When it comes to legendary duos in League of Legends, one cannot overlook the pair of Faker and Bengi, who together secured 3 World Championship titles. After Bengi’s departure, many fans, especially T1 supporters, worried that Faker would never find a “third support” like he had with his former teammate. However, up to now, Oner has shown that he deserves the title given by fans: The heir to Bengi.
Notably, in the match against AL, during the decisive game, Oner, despite being quite confused about Mundo’s skills as he had never played this champion before and the last time he played Mundo was back in 2018, was willing to “take a gamble”. Of course, one cannot say that Oner’s performance in that game was outstanding. But he fulfilled his role, especially during the Elder Dragon play, showcasing a composure that only champions possess.
Previously, while Oner had some ups and downs, if we look at the entire year of 2025, this player is one of the most consistently performing ones, aside from Gumayusi, who has continuously been benched. It’s clear that Oner is becoming more reliable, and at this point, saying he is a “support” for Faker is no longer an exaggeration.
At the same time, in that very game, Gumayusi also reminded fans of Bengi’s Nidalee from years ago. For those who may not know, Bengi used Nidalee for the first time in an important match against ROX and won. This was also during the decisive game for SKT T1.
Oner Could Play a Key Role in the T1 – KT Match
Currently at KT, it’s not hard to recognize that this team operates around a very strong mid-jungle synergy and is in great form. Therefore, the matchup between Oner and Cuzz will be very noteworthy. This is also a battle between two generations of T1 players who have followed each other, now on opposing fronts, competing for the highest honor of the year in professional League of Legends.
Given the significance of each player, the outcome of this jungle matchup could very well determine the result of the upcoming finals.
