First Blood With a Smile: The Story of Jankos

  • Jankos is greatest jungler Europe has ever produced. But he didn't get there overnight.
    He spent years chasing a domestic title and battling his own emotions before it finally all came together.
    Now he's taking on the best teams in the world, and he's winning. He's ushering in a new age for Europe. And doing it all while being uniquely himself.
    This is his story.

    I have followed Jankos' career since his Roccat days and he is by far my favourite League player. He has a fantastic personality, incredible mental fortitude and the drive to get to the end. No matter what G2 go through, they are all fighting for the same end goal and I truly believe they can lift the World's trophy for EU.

    The loss to FPX was tragic, G2 was one of the favorites on that Worlds, FPX was like Suning, unpredicted finalist team. Their difference to Suning was that FPX really showed up on that finals series and won against the favorite G2.

    I feel like the video being nonlinear could've worked if done well, but.. yeah, it just didn't work in this case. It felt like I was jumping between different short videos rather than one big cohesive one because the connecting lines between jumps were so incredibly weak or underdeveloped.

      @@KANCIAPminecraft It's true that it has a literal translation, but it's not like anyone thinks of it as it would be translated literaly. Just like the term 'shipping', it started off this way because transport back then was really cheap on water and most of it used waterways, but nowadays? Most people wouldn't think of ships hearing it, they would associate it with delivery in some way.
      Same with 'kurwa mać'. If someone says to you that you are a 'kurwa', then sure, it has a meaning. If someone shouts 'kurwa mać'? It's just letting off steam.

      g2 good in the early? lol what? They weren't bad in the early but not good, they went even most of the time (against similar skilled teams, or in the T1 Series at Worlds just int) and go really fast in the mid game outplaying the enemy on the map. They started improving early game only this year. Also G2 as a Team is a good as they are bc of their decision making throughout mid and late game and having skilled enough players to do so. Just look at the first game of the split, against MAD they showed how capable of being pacient and drawing out fights they are.
