T1 became World Champion for the fifth time in League of Legends 2024. The current roster is considered one of the best that the Korean team has ever had. However, it was still unclear who would remain in the team for 2025. But as it has now been announced, the Jungler will not be leaving.
What about the Jungler? T1 managed to secure the spectacular 5th World Championship title in 2024 despite a weak start. Many attribute this to the entire team. The players around Faker simply work well together. However, all contracts except Faker’s actually ended in 2024.
The fans of the current roster can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for 3 of the players. As previously announced, the supporter Keria will remain with the team. Another player has also been retained, as announced on November 15, 2024. The Jungler Oner will stay in the team.
The German player Agurin is considered one of the best Junglers in SoloQ:
One stays, but another member has to go
What is the current status of T1? As it was now announced on x.com, Oner will also remain in the team for a new contract. Keria and Oner have reportedly signed a 2-year contract according to the official site.
This means that 3 of the 5 players from T1 are secured for the next season: The legend Faker, Jungler Oner, and supporter Keria. In a video on x.com, Oner emphasizes once again that he wants to win the LCK in the next 2 years as well. A goal that did not succeed in 2024.
But two players are still missing. It is still unclear whether ADC Gumayusi and Toplaner Zeus will return. On reddit, many are sure about Gumayusi, as a good bot lane team would not be separated.
Many fans also feel certain about Zeus. As the user @mazeuster shares on x.com, Zeus has changed his in-game image, title, and banner to the Hall-of-Legends design. This is a special series for skins, icons, and other cosmetic items, which is currently only dedicated to Faker.
This is seen by some users as an indication that Zeus will also play for T1 in 2025.
Why do fans wish for this return? The current T1 team is considered by many e-sport fans to be the best roster of the Korean team. All 5 players are regarded as masters of their role, and the dynamic between Faker and his 4 teammates is loved by many fans. The great teamwork of the 5 South Koreans was especially evident this year at the Worlds.
