The Impact of T1’s Star Player in the Upcoming League of Legends World Championship Finals
The highly anticipated finals of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship between T1 and Weibo Gaming are just around the corner. Among the strong lineup of the Korean superteam, one player stands out as the potential game-changer for T1.
T1’s Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun has proven himself as one of the top players in the tournament. According to League stats aggregate Oracle’s Elixir, Oner currently leads in several key categories among junglers at Worlds, including KDA, first blood rate, and objective steals. He also holds the highest kill participation percentage among junglers who have played more than 10 games.
The 20-year-old prodigy has played a crucial role in T1’s success at Worlds so far. With an impressive 67 percent first blood rate, Oner’s aggressive early-game plays have helped his team gain an early advantage. His well-timed ganks across Summoner’s Rift have played a significant part in opening up opportunities for T1.
The Key to Oner’s Success
Oner’s success can be attributed to his willingness to play engage champions, such as Jarvan IV, Sejuani, Rell, Poppy, and Maokai. These champions enable him to set up plays for his team, whether it’s a quick gank or a game-winning dive into the enemy backline. Additionally, Oner has the third-lowest average share of his team’s total gold, making him a low-resource player who maximizes his efficiency.
By absorbing a significant amount of damage from the frontline, Oner allows star players like Faker, Zeus, and Gumayusi to deal maximum damage in teamfights. Whether it’s burst-focused team compositions or more traditional front-to-back teamfighting strategies, Oner’s selfless playstyle makes him an essential asset to T1’s quest for another Worlds trophy.
