The T1 jungler known as ‘Oner’, Moon Hyeon-joon, shared his reflections after finishing the EWC 2026 journey in fourth place.
Following the loss in the third-place match against Gen.G, ‘Oner’ Moon Hyeon-joon chose not to make excuses regarding the demanding schedule or external factors. Instead, he acknowledged a lack of performance and pledged to come back stronger in the LCK.
Reflecting on the tournament, ‘Oner’ commented, “There were some positive moments, but also many areas of regret.” Specifically addressing the final match against Gen.G, he analyzed, “It’s most disappointing that we couldn’t close out the games despite taking substantial leads in both the first and third sets.”
He also delved into the ‘Syndra-Pyke’ bottom lane pick. “The decision for the bottom lane pick was somewhat rushed,” he explained. “Given that it was the final game of the EWC, we wanted to showcase a non-ADC composition we had practiced to gather valuable data, regardless of the outcome.” While acknowledging the pick’s shortcomings, ‘Oner’ added, “Nevertheless, exploring non-ADC matchups through such attempts is a positive learning experience. However, I believe our in-game errors are the most crucial issue that we need to address promptly.”
Regarding the rigorous schedule, he remained resolute. “It would be dishonest to claim that the packed schedule wasn’t challenging, but every team faced the same circumstances,” ‘Oner’ stated. “Our subpar performance at this EWC and the previous MSI was solely due to our own lack of proficiency.”
In conclusion, he assured, “I feel both regretful and appreciative towards the fans in Paris and Korea who continue to support us regardless of the outcomes. Building on the insights gained from this tournament, I pledge that we will reciprocate your support with improved results in the upcoming LCK.”
