Not only are G2 Esports players successful in competition, but they are also famous streamers on Twitch, with a wealth of unique content. Recently, Caps has frequently been playing… Support on stream; in fact, he has played Pyke support so much that he discovered a bug with this champion. Who knows, in upcoming LEC matches, G2 Esports might just let Caps play Support again.
As for Jankos, his content is much richer; most recently, he took on the “one versus five” challenge against opponents all ranked Bronze. Although the opponents were of a lower rank, Jankos still faced many difficulties to win, even losing a game while using Master Yi, a champion considered extremely strong for solo carrying. It wasn’t until he used Camille that Jankos managed to win and prove that this Steel Shadow “ganks teams” much better than Master Yi.
Although it was a match with a huge disparity—one side being a professional player and the other side Bronze players—it doesn’t mean it was pointless. Setting aside the skill gap, the biggest difference between professional gamers and regular players is that they play to win. Therefore, Jankos didn’t go too greedy for kills; when opponents rushed in, he simply fought back. Most of the time, this player focused on destroying structures, the simplest way to win.
As a champion that utilizes the Trinity Force, Camille’s ability to destroy structures is incredibly strong. Additionally, this player completely ignored the Dragon and focused solely on securing Rift Herald, a tool that helps push lanes more effectively. When you find a way to destroy the opponent’s structures, you have a much higher chance of winning compared to running around fighting and neglecting objectives.
Jankos also failed in his first attempt using Master Yi; the swordsman’s ability to push lanes seemed fast but turned out to be much slower than expected. Perhaps now, the ability to push structures quickly is the top criterion for determining which champion is a “team ganker,” rather than how many kills they can secure.
