Jungle

1. Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan (Kingzone DragonX)
2. Lee “Tarzan” Seung-yong (Griffin)
3. Kim “OnFleek” Jang-gyeom (Sandbox Gaming)
4. Kim “Clid” Tae-min (SK Telecom T1)

We talk a lot about the top three junglers in the LCK – Cuzz, Tarzan, and OnFleek – because they’ve all solidified themselves in that upper echelon so far this season. However, Clid has quickly climbed right up into that top tier along with those others. He doesn’t have the same impressive early-game numbers as those other junglers, but he is one of the best junglers (second only to Cuzz) in terms of controlling vision.

5. Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu (Damwon Gaming)
6. Lee “Dread” Jin-hyeok (Afreeca Freecs)
7. Kang “Haru” Min-seung (SK Telecom T1)
8. Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong (Jin Air Green Wings)

Being the jungler for the undisputed worst team in the LCK is a tough job, but Malrang has actually done a decent job for how tough a task he has. His 107% adjusted kill participation (based on a 74.5% raw kill participation, 25.5% kill share, and 19% death share) is the best of any jungler who has played more than five games. This indicates that, yeah he’s dying more than most other LCK junglers, but he is the one driving play for his team.

This was on display in Week 5, when he went 0/4/6 in their loss to Sandbox (with a 75% kill participation, no kills, but only accounted for 4 out of his team’s 21 deaths). He also put on a spectacular performance in Game 2 of their series against Afreeca Freecs, going 6/1/9 on Skarner.

9. Son “Punch” Min-hyuk (Damwon Gaming)
10. Kim “Seize” Chan-hee (Jin Air Green Wings)
11. Yoon “SeongHwan” Seong-hwan (Gen.G)
12. Eom “UmTi” Seong-hyun (KT Rolster)
13. Go “Score” Dong-bin (KT Rolster)
14. Han “Peanut” Wang-ho (Gen.G)
15. Kim “Moojin” Moo-jin (Hanwha Life Esports)
16. Kim “bonO” Gi-beom (Hanwha Life Esports)
