Foreword: The S16 season has officially started, and the majority of players have closely followed the recent clashes. The MSI is nearly over. In this tournament, the second seeds from both the LPL and LCK were knocked out, particularly T1, who everyone had high hopes for but were ruthlessly stomped by G2. After the match, top laner Doran and jungler Oner became the main targets of criticism, with many believing their form fluctuated too heavily. In the past couple of days, netizens discovered what appears to be Oner's girlfriend's social media account—no wonder his performance has dropped so sharply. Dating plus working out really piles on the buffs.

Suspected girlfriend of Oner exposed

Most players are quite familiar with T1, a top-tier team from the LCK. Over the past few years, they have enjoyed high popularity and attention, reaching the World Championship finals four consecutive times and winning three straight titles, establishing themselves as the undisputed strongest team in the world. This season, T1 underwent another roster reshuffle. The departure of AD carry Gumayusi caused many early coordination issues, but after two seasons of adjustment, T1's form has gradually recovered. This time, they entered the MSI as the second seed.

They were expected to make a big splash, but unexpectedly fell short halfway. The play-in stage was impressive, sweeping all opponents with a flawless 3-0 record. In the first round of the knockout stage, they traded blows with BLG; although they were sent to the losers' bracket, they still had a chance to fight for the finals. However, the match against G2 shocked everyone—it wasn't even close; you could call it a total demolition. Top laner Doran and jungler Oner had absolutely no rhythm, and AD Peyz's pentakill couldn't save the defeat. After the match, the usual blame game began, and a truck was even driven to the base entrance saying: "Doran OUT."

Recently, netizens noticed a detail: a suspected girlfriend account of Oner was exposed. Both Oner and his sister follow this account, and the girl had previously worked out with Oner while also posting photos wearing his team jersey. No wonder Oner's performance has slumped so badly this season—dating plus working out really stacks all the buffs. If he stays in this state, he will likely be replaced next season. Of course, I think his stock market losses might also be a factor; he probably lost a lot of money.

Looking at T1's contracts: Faker and Keria are signed until 2029, Oner and Peyz until 2028, and only top laner Doran's contract ends in 2026. Given his current form, T1 will most likely replace the top laner, though the club's management might still support him. But based on his performance this season, Doran's ceiling doesn't seem that high. Even Faker mentioned in an interview that Doran is a hardworking player, without adding much else in terms of expectations. This might be T1's recurring story—the same thing happened the past two seasons: they fail deep in MSI but transform at Worlds like a different team.

From my perspective,

No wonder Faker has managed to maintain such an elite competitive level for so many years—it seems having a girlfriend does play a role. Oner's mechanics in this MSI indeed became shaky, especially in the match against BLG, where his issues were quite serious: he had multiple dragons stolen by Xun. Otherwise, T1 could have easily made it to the winners' bracket. Let's see how they adjust in the third segment.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this matter?
