T1 jungler Mun "Oner" Hyeon-joon shared his thoughts after defeating Anyone’s Legend 3:2 in the MSI 2025 lower bracket final. In a post-match interview, he explained why the fifth and final game looked so one-sided in favor of his team, praised Gumayusi’s contribution to objective control, and expressed confidence ahead of the rematch against Gen.G in the grand final.

Despite a shaky start to the Spring Split, T1 has once again hit top form, fighting their way through the lower bracket. This comeback is especially impressive given the circumstances — just a few weeks ago, many doubted whether T1 would even qualify for MSI. That’s what makes this series more than just another victory.

T1 back in the final — and facing Gen.G again

The team took down Anyone’s Legend in five games, showing overwhelming dominance in the decider. According to Oner, the shift in momentum came down to mental fortitude:

Once you start making a minor mistake, it's critical — it affects your concentration. I think the one who starts making mistakes just keeps going, and it has a very big impact overall.

  

He also credited Gumayusi’s map awareness and global pressure for helping secure key objectives:

He's really good at global ultimates, so when I'm in a position where I can't commit for steals, he's always there with global ults to take the objective. Very reliable, for sure.

  

Oner emphasized the team’s experience as a factor in staying composed and turning things around:

We have so much international event experience and we've made it to finals so many times. We knew we could bounce back — we picked ourselves up and pushed all the way.

  

T1 previously lost to Gen.G 2:3 in the upper bracket final. This time, Oner believes preparation will make the difference:

In the previous series, there were a lot of moments where we should have won but we couldn't. If we can follow our plans and make things go as we prepared, I think we are strong enough to beat them.

  

He ended the interview with a message to the fans in Vancouver:

Thanks to your loud energy and support, we were able to fight through this five-game battle and get the win today. If I can get another loud one tomorrow against Gen.G, I think we’ll get the power to defeat them. Thank you so much — I love you all.

  

T1 advanced to the MSI 2025 grand final after a tense 3–2 victory over Anyone’s Legend. This will be their first MSI final since 2022, and a rematch against Gen.G — who beat them 3:2 in the upper bracket final.
