Jungle Meta during IEM Gyeonggi 2016

IEM Gyeonggi has just ended with SAMSUNG taking home 1st place after defeating Kongdoo Monster in a BO5 series with the score of 3–1.

I consider the field of competition as not being the very best possible, but I still wanted to briefly touch on the jungle meta as I found the subject interesting.

Let’s get straight into the tierlist and then talk about some points.

THE TIERLIST:

S+ Tier — “Must Pick/Ban” :

Picked 13 games of total 26 played

Picked 21 games of total 26 played

Undoubtedly the most powerful junglers of the patch achieving a stunning 100% P/B contest rate for Rek’Sai and 96% for Lee Sin throughout the tournament.

Lee Sin got played 13 times with a winrate of 61.5% and drew 12 bans. Rek’Sai got played 24 games with a winrate of 45.8% and drew 2 bans.

S Tier — “The contenders” :

At this point probably you wonder why there’s no “Picked X games” under Rengar portrait. The answer is that he was NEVER picked during the tournament. Instead he was banned 14 games of total 26 played.

Picked 2 games of 26 total
