Oner Makes Notable Statement About His Career at T1
Over the years, since his debut until now, Oner has gradually become an irreplaceable key player in the T1 lineup. If Gumayusi and Keria form the strongest bot lane in League of Legends, then Oner is the main axis helping the top lane function smoothly. As long as Oner performs well, Faker and T1 will face little difficulty from laning to team fights. This season, Oner’s performance has remained stable, but recently, he made a statement that left many fans feeling “worried.”
Specifically, in a recent interview while heading to the annual RedBull showmatch event, Oner shared: “Playing for T1 is really exciting (for me) because I’ve always dreamed of being a player who stays with one team throughout my career. To be honest, I don’t really care about things like ‘the best jungler in history’ or ‘the best jungler in the world’. I want to be known as the best jungler in T1’s history above all.”
Oner’s Statement Raises Concerns Among T1 Fans
In reality, Oner’s statement, under normal circumstances, might excite many fans, especially at a time when a quality jungler like him is hard to find, if not impossible. However, his mention of a “one-man club” is eerily similar to the essence of Gumayusi’s previous affirmations.
And how the situation unfolded afterwards is well known. Gumayusi was attacked by T1Gall, but the lack of support for the player from T1 is what has frustrated many fans of both the team and Gumayusi himself. Notably, Gumayusi had continuously affirmed his loyalty with statements similar to what Oner is saying now.
Oner’s position is difficult, but T1 has experienced fluctuations before, from Bengi to Blank, then Peanut, Cuzz… Therefore, many people are concerned that T1 will repeat the actions they previously took with Gumayusi regarding Oner, especially since this player’s current contract will expire in 2026.
