For many years, the jungle position has become particularly important in a League of Legends squad, especially in the professional arena. Not only is the previous task is to perform “ganking” the lanes, opening fights, providing control and resistance … but the jungler also plays the main role in operating the team's play. It can be clearly visible through Worlds 2023 and Spring 2024, when junglers like Oner, Canyon … can play well, their team will also have good results and overwhelm the opponent from the beginning of the match.
If Oner played well, it would almost certainly T1 will have an easy game against all opponents
With Meta surrounding the jungle position almost no significant change, the players in this role will still be the key link in MSI 2024. Recently, the international League of Legends community has a ranking of jungler players in the tournament will be held in the upcoming capital and immediately cause controversy. Accordingly, Tier S is only Canyon alone. In class A include: Oner, Xun, Tian and Razork. In Tier B including Yike, Umti, Inspired and Junjia. Meanwhile, Levi and Josedoodo in Tier C. finally Croc of Loud.
Ranking of forest players at MSI 2024 controversial
The first issue was pointed out, that Canyon was not really overwhelming oner in the LCK final of the LCK recently. Without using a mutant -rich champion like Kha'zix and Chovy as well as Kiin is not too good, Canyon is unlikely to control the fourth hinge game in the T1 confrontation match. Not to mention, Canyon has not appeared for too long in the international arena and is not sure this comeback, he can show the best.
The LCK Spring Final 2024 shows that Oner is not too inferior to Canyon if not to say there are moments of overwhelming.
But the location in the middle of the new table is interested, namely Tier B and C. Although being a LCS champion, Umti himself in the LCK competition has not really shown too much. Even, despite fighting for many years, this is the first time UMTI has attended an official international tournament of League of Legends village. Therefore, the B -class position is said to be a bit too high compared to UMTI.
Umti's international competition experience is zero but ranked too high
Worth mentioning, both Umti and Junjia are ranked higher than Levi. If Umti completely lacked international competition experience, Junjia did not show well in the most recent Worlds. His PSG Talon did not even overcome the boot. Meanwhile, a senior and also from LCK like Umti, Pyosik last year, was completely “shut down” by Levi.
Levi lost to PSG Talon's jungler
“Why is Levi so low? And Umti ranked B? Lmao”
“Rzork is ranked horizontally with Oner? XD”
Of course, every ranking before the tournament is for reference. But obviously, some players are underestimated than their own strength compared to some other colleagues, and the jungle position is an example.
