Kim Danwoo, better known as Sharvel, is one of the LCK’s youngest players at just 18. The South Korean jungler is carving out a spot on DN SOOPers, and his promotion says a lot about how the Korean scene keeps refreshing itself, giving teenage talent a shot at the world’s best players often within days of going pro.
Few roles in League of Legends ask as much as the jungle. Players like Sharvel have to route cleanly through neutral camps, keep tabs on the opposing jungler, take objectives like Dragon and Baron, and find the right window to gank a lane. Quick reads and strong map sense matter here, because one well-placed play can swing an entire game.
Sharvel’s picks lean toward fast, aggressive play. Qiyana rewards mechanical sharpness with ambushes and explosive combos, especially her crushing wall-stun ultimate, while Kayn is a versatile bruiser-assassin who changes form mid-game to set up his win condition. Playing either champion takes precision and nerve, and both suggest a jungler who wants to make plays and carry rather than sit back and farm for utility.
Reaching the LCK at 18 is a serious accomplishment, and it shows the raw skill and high ceiling DN SOOPers saw in Sharvel. His aggressive approach suits a jungler who wants to pressure every part of the map and set the tempo of a game from the earliest minutes.
Sharvel’s future looks bright, though a league this competitive leaves little room for error. If he turns his mechanical gifts into steady, disciplined decisions, he has what it takes to become one of the standout carry junglers of the next LCK generation.
Sharvel (Kim Danwoo) is 19 years old, born August 26, 2007.
Sharvel currently plays as Jungle for DN SOOPers in the LCK.
Sharvel is best known for Qiyana, Kayn.
