Fatigue from traveling and the start at KeSPA Cup

In recent weeks, T1 barely had time to return home: the team participated in the Red Bull League of Its Own show event in Munich, then flew to Saudi Arabia for sponsor events, and after that returned to Korea for the KeSPA Cup.

I'm not even fully adjusted to the jet lag yet, so I was a bit nervous before the match.

"I want to stay with T1 for a long time": Oner's plans

In the interview, the player reiterated his dream to spend his career with T1 — the organization he has been with since 2020 — and eventually become its key franchise talent.

At 22 , Oner is already a three-time world champion (2023, 2024, and 2025) and a titleholder of LCK Spring 2022.

While Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok remains the eternal face of the club and the entire game, among the new generation of talents, Oner is the last one still representing T1 : Choi "Zeus" Woo-je and Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong have moved to  Hanwha Life Esports  this year.

Asian Games: the dream to wear the national jersey

The player also recalled past Asian Games, where he couldn't compete as Korea was represented by Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok at the time.

It's worth noting that winning at the Asian Games not only brings international prestige to Korean esports players but also grants exemption from mandatory military service. In the previous tournament, the country was represented by Zeus, Kanavi, Faker, Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon, Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok.
