T1 has not looked great in the LCK Splits since winning the LoL Worlds 2023. However, the team consistently rises to the occasion for international events, evident by their dominance in the Swiss Stage despite losing its first game against Top Esports.

After defeating Brazil's PaiN Gaming, T1 secured a monumental win against LPL's first seed, Bilibili Gaming. The team then bagged a 2-0 series win against G2 Esports to qualify for the playoffs.

Oner, T1's Jungler, has emerged as the tournament's most influential player. His pathing has been impeccable, positively impacting the solo lanes, demonstrating effectiveness in team fights, and excelling in securing neutral objectives. As the current LoL meta heavily relies on the Top and Jungle roles, Zeus and Oner must perform exceptionally well for T1 to defeat Top Esports.
