Clid

Taemin Kim, known across the scene as Clid, is a South Korean jungler and one of the most storied figures to come out of the League of Legends region widely regarded as the toughest to crack. At 26, Clid has made his name as an aggressive, carry-minded jungler whose mechanical skill and confident style kept him in demand throughout high-level Korean competition.

A Jungler Built on Aggression

You cannot discuss Clid as a player without discussing how he approached the jungle. Many junglers lean on safe, patient farming, but Clid drew praise for a forward, invasive style aimed at taking control of the map right from the first minutes. That approach asks a lot: sharp game sense, the nerve to take risky plays, and the precision to pull them off under pressure. At his best, he was counted among Korea’s top junglers, a label that means a great deal in a region with so much talent.

Signature Champions

His champion choices reflect the same playmaking mindset. Lee Sin, arguably the clearest example of a skill-heavy, tempo-driven jungler, rewards early aggression, accurate ward-hops, and the flashy, momentum-turning moments that can decide a game on their own. Kindred, by contrast, pairs carry potential with control of objectives, letting Clid stack marks, grow into a deadly late-game threat, and fight for neutral objectives along the way. Both picks demand a high skill ceiling and suit players who can set the rhythm of a match, which has long been central to his reputation.

Career and Outlook

Clid’s path through professional League of Legends has taken him to the sport’s top stages, and his name is still tied to the peak years of Korea’s aggressive jungle play. He is currently listed as an active player and remains connected to the competitive scene, a sign of how long his career has lasted at the elite level.

Staying relevant across several seasons is hard for any jungler, since metas shift and new players keep arriving. Clid’s grounding in mechanics and big-picture decision-making gives him what he needs to keep up. Whatever comes next, his place among Korea’s most thrilling junglers is secure, and fans will keep an eye out for the aggressive style that made him stand out to begin with.
