5. Svenskeren

Playing since season one, Svenskeren bounced around several teams early in his career until he finally found his home on SK Gaming. His pedal-to-the-metal style frequently gets him in trouble but it’s also the reason behind SK Gaming’s relative success for a year and a half. Upon his arrival to TSM, Sven started out slow but once again, he eventually meshed with the team as TSM won the 2016 NA LCS Summer Split. He may not be as good as he once was, but he’s still one of the best Lee Sin’s in the west.

4. TheOddOne

Yet another TSM jungler, TheOddOne was regarded as one of the best in League’s infancy. He was responsible for several jungle trends including Maokai’s popularity and Nunu counter-jungling.
Largely a tank player, ‘The General’ was a superior strategist who had a command of the jungle. Not known for his mechanics, TheOddOne used his stellar knowledge of the game to gain advantages, which helped TSM win the 2013 Spring Split.

3. Jankos

In 2014, Roccat and their jungler Jankos broke into the EULCS with a 3rd place spring finish. The First Blood King had an innate ability to strike first, earning his team early advantages. Although Roccat would struggle in later splits, Jankos repeatedly stood out, earning himself a spot on H2K. A fantastic performance at 2016 Worlds garnered Jankos a lot of international attention and put him into the discussion for best jungler in the world.

2. Meteos

Meteos completely changed the jungle game in season 3. When Cloud9 qualified for the summer split, he immediately made his mark. His unique pathing allowed him to get extremely ahead of his opponent. Often neglecting to gank, he farmed up and then took over the game himself. His 12.7 KDA in the 2013 summer split is the highest in LCS history. He played Zac 7 times with a perfect win rate and also dominated on Elise. For a solid two years, Meteos ran the North American jungle.

1. Diamondprox

Another early innovator, Diamondprox helped Moscow five become one of the best teams in the world during season 2. Aggressive yet calculated, Diamondprox continuously brought unique picks to the big stage with success. Xin Zhao, Nasus, brand new Evelyn builds… whatever it was, Diamond would be dominant and change the entire landscape of the jungle. In a game where teams often look to Korea for new picks, the world looked towards Diamondprox to see what the next OP pick would be.
