Sure he doesnt reach the peaks that some of the other names have reached in this role like dandy or canyon. But his longevity is one of the best of all time at this point and I can’t name another jungler who has better longevity than him. He doesnt have the international trophies but just in terms of pure consiestency and domestic form no other jungler is even close imo.
He was on:
-2016 rox (1st/2nd best team in the world and won almost everything)
-2017 skt which won spring, msi and 2nd at worlds
-2018 KZ won spring and 2nd at MSI
Had a bit of a slump for his standards but came back and dominated domestically from 2022-2023 with Gen.G
-came 1st or 2nd in all 4 of those splits winning 3 of them. They came short in the internationals tho except 2022 when gen.g came 3rd/4th.
Now going to HLE I expect the domination to continue and he has shown he may be the best jungler in korea.
Sure he’s choked in some of these important series but almost every other player ever has as well.
Will he ever be regarded as the goat jungler? I think if he wins worlds even 1 time he has a favorable case for the goat jungler. And even now I’d put him top 3 all time.
Almost
