Oner mentioned there were numerous reasons why he began going to the gym. On top of dealing with back pain, the player was motivated by seeing other fit people on social media.
As for the biggest reason, the T1 jungler’s answer was plain and simple. “Ultimately, I get to look good,” he said, according toan Inven Global translation.
Clocking in about a year of working out, Oner is confident that his physical endurance is a lot better than his teammates who don’t work out. He also said that he enjoys shoulder exercises the most.
