T1 is probably the most dominant League of Legends staff within the historical past of the sport. And, whereas Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is a large a part of that legacy, Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun has obtained three world championship titles to his identify alongside him.
Not solely that, however T1 doubtless would have by no means made it to Worlds 2025 with out Oner massively stepping it up on the finish of the season to assist them qualify. He arguably ought to have earned Worlds MVP flowers only for guaranteeing the Korean behemoth’s qualification to the occasion.
And, luckily for followers who need to see him increase much more trophies with T1, Oner has re-signed with the group by means of 2028.
Whereas he might nonetheless choose to depart the staff or be benched earlier than the contract ends attributable to poor efficiency, we’ll doubtless see Oner representing T1 on the rift for years to return.
T1 LoL Secures Oner Till 2028
Shedding Choi “Zeus” Woo-je in 2024 and Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong departing after their win in 2025 have been each enormous blows for the T1 fandom. Even when the org has been capable of finding apt replacements for each gamers in Doran and Peyz, a substantial a part of what makes fashionable T1’s legacy so nice is the gamers who constructed it.
That ZOFGK 2023-2024 roster was a magical time for followers, one which noticed T1’s most extraordinary highs marked by probably the most seen occasions within the historical past of esports. And in contrast to different rosters that make modifications yearly, the staff that caught collectively by means of thick and skinny made the storyline that a lot better.
T1 is aiming to create the following ZOFGK dynasty, a staff that may keep collectively and construct a brand new 5-man squad that makes a long-lasting mark on LoL esports. They usually’ve confirmed that Oner’s going to be part of that.
Apart from Oner, the opposite massive participant T1 doubtless desires to retain for so long as they’ll is Ryu “Keria” Min-seok, somebody who’s been a key a part of their success as probably the most revolutionary and mechanically gifted assist gamers in League of Legends historical past.
Nonetheless, as of now, Keria’s set to depart or re-negotiate his contract with the staff on the finish of 2026. It’s but unclear if T1’s aiming to safe Keria for the following few years to maintain him alongside the mid/jungle core that’s earned a lot success for them.
