Canyon

Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu is widely regarded as one of the greatest junglers in League of Legends history, known for his exceptional map control, objective control, and ability to create pressure across the map. Born on June 18, 2001, in South Korea, Canyon began his professional career with DAMWON Gaming (now Gen.G) in 2018 at just 17 years old.

Canyon quickly established himself as a dominant force in the LCK, earning multiple LCK Regular Season MVP awards and All-Pro Team selections. His breakout year came in 2020 when he helped DAMWON Gaming win the World Championship, showcasing his elite jungle mechanics and game sense on champions like Nidalee and Graves. His performance earned him Finals MVP honors at Worlds 2020.

Known for his versatility in the jungle role, Canyon has mastered a wide champion pool including Lee Sin, Elise, Gragas, and more recently, modern meta picks. His playstyle emphasizes intelligent pathing, timely ganks, and securing neutral objectives. Canyon's synergy with his team, particularly with mid laner ShowMaker during their DAMWON days, has been a key factor in his success.

After DAMWON's rebranding to DWG KIA and later Dplus Kia, Canyon continued his dominance, winning multiple LCK titles and another World Championship in 2021. In 2023, he joined Gen.G, where he continues to compete at the highest level, winning the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational and maintaining his status as one of the most respected junglers in the world.

Canyon holds numerous records including being one of the fastest players to reach 1000 kills in the LCK, and he's known for his consistency and leadership in the jungle role. His impact on the game extends beyond his individual performance, as he's credited with influencing jungle playstyles and meta developments throughout his career.
