Saintvicious' rundown of the World Finals junglers

          

The jungler for team Curse discusses the teams that are going to participate in the World Finals, focusing on their junglers.

While Saint doesn't have overview over all of the junglers and their play style, he shares his thoughts on the ones he has been watching. When it comes to the European junglers, Saint thinks that Diamondproxx is the best of all, mechanically strong and a great play maker, but overrated when it comes to his creativity. Fnatic Cyanide on the other hand is more innovative and focuses on his roaming and gank heavy style, which synchronizes well with the team-based way of playing the game but needs to learn to balance ganking with farming for himself.

SKT Bengi and Ozone's Dandy have similar, pressure oriented styles. While the junglers severely lack farm, their style allows laners to snowball. Their main goal is to get the laners out of the early game with some advantage. Vulcum's Smithie is trying to adopt Bengi and Dandy's style but unlike them he isn't a shot caller and has a more reactionary approach to the team calls, rather than making decisions by himself. This play style, however, will be of great benefit to the team in regard to their international rivals.

TheOddOne has a very balanced play style according to Saint, mostly centered around objectives. The last jungler Saint focuses on is Cloud 9's Meteos. According to Saint, he is about a year behind on the meta, and his play style only works when his lanes are even or ahead compared to the enemy. If the team falls behind, the style will fail and the jungler won't be able to assist his team.

Najin Black Sword's and Lemondogs' junglers are standard aggressive players that he does not have big impressions of. The Royal Club jungler on the other hand plays a very snowbally and gimmicky style.

Overall, Saint thinks that SKT, Ozone and OMG have the highest chance for the first place. From the NA teams, he points out Vulcun as a favorite to go far into the tournament, while all EU teams will fail to impress.
