In the LCK playoffs, his job was to set up his laners, specifically Faker, to succeed, and he did just that. When Clid is at his best, like he was in the most recent LCK playoffs, he is the best jungler in the world. If Faker wants to lift his unprecedented fourth Summoner's Cup, it will be because of Clid, who is the catalyst for the team. While Faker still is, well, Faker, and sits as one of the best mid laners in the world, he no longer enters (at least for now) worlds as the most important player for SKT. The most important, in the jungle, was Kim "Clid" Tae-min, a South Korean-born jungler who debuted in China in 2016.

Alongside Luka "Perkz" Perković, he sets the game's tempo and, should the game not be decided by the 10-minute mark, acts as a front-line threat during teamfights. Indeed, he was their most important contributor during the team's 2019 LEC campaign. Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski is the engine of a well-oiled G2 Esports machine.
