First Blood With a Smile: The Story of Jankos
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- 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 can be a full-time streamer, be washed up, and still win LCS"
Shots fired
After the disaster of a season in NA that was 2020, he's not wrong, y'know...
Who was he taking about?
@@blaiger8850 90% of na players 🤣
For real though i think double lift?
This didnt age well
@@dimitrescurobert6780 Blubber flash skuttle
Best part, he wasn’t introduced to the game by his older brother
unlike Most pros
Very Pog
This is like your 5th comment wtf. Save some internet points for the rest of us
Copied comment, nice.
Nah that's only for csgo pros KEKW
Jankos is the definition of “jng diff”
As long as he doesn't play Lee Sin
@@mouadelgartit9423 still jungle diff but for enemy
also jg diff for enemy if he's against Canyon
This aged well
@@mouadelgartit9423 look at him on Lee Sin this year tho
Janks will always put a smile on our faces. Our league Joker meme player. 😂
Jankos is the funniest and most lovable league of legends player for me. His personality and his knowledge about the game is what makes him so good and he is rly an inspiration to me!
Can't wait for Mikyx and Wunder to get a Story of. Maybe even Grabbz at some point.
yes pls do grabbz guys!!!
There's an old mikyx documentary on misfits channel it's pretty emotional
nah grabz is a virgin
@@A7OldRscplayer KEKW TRUEE
I Think you missspelled GRÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÄÄÄBZZZ
Why do this feel like “The Last Dance” documentary, especially the back and forward between times
I noticed that too
It's soooo bad
Really hope it doesn't become a standard ... It takes a lot of talent and work to make this kind of back and forth documentary appealing and understandable. I appreciate the effort, but linear storytelling is sometimes the best way.
Was just about to say that. I think it worked for `The Last Dance` because it was about an entire team. This format doesn`t really work for just one person.
yea and it didnt really work out here, i wanted to hear about 2015 because thats when i noticed him first time and then it just skipped to 2018? Doesnt fit the game or his story I guess
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.
That has to be the best line I've heard over Esports. "This is what peak league of legends looks like and it comes from Europe". I get chills.
My favorite Jankos quote: "If I were to go to NA, it would probably be for the dollar"
The production quality has really risen so much, these videos clearly show so much effort and experience
Thank you theScoreEsports for your hard work
For real. I really appreciate it and like how the new format of their story telling is cool
I'm glad someone commended the Score esports, I was thinking two days ago about how impressive the videos are
I don't play League anymore, but when G2 is playing, I always watch the stream, big part of it is because of this man
am i the only one who thinks the chronology was kinda of? usualy its more in a straight timeline and i personaly enjoy that more. i dont want to hate any first sign of change but i just felt like it was worse than usualy. I realy love your videos but this felt a littlebit wierd. nevertheless i enjoyed it keep up the good work!
Agree
Your are not alone
Agreed
they skipped the whole h2k timeline wtf...
i mean in the beginning. roc straight to g2 then backward
As a Pole I appreciate you trying to say Marcin Jankowski as correctly as you can :D
Man this never gets old! hes soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!
You guys are stepping up your game video by video. Thanks for making these the pros need some more recognition! Love
I love Jankos! He is so funny, entertaining, animated and loud!
16:25 The commentary still give me chills to this day
Imo the thing you did with chronology was great and brought more to the light than normal, linear story. At first it seemed it seemed a bit off, but when I saw a parttern I was impressed. Good job!
I like that the editing isn't chornacally order. It really gives and perspektiv on his growth
i love you Jankos, hugs from Portugal
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.
Damn seeing G2 win the first LEC in Rotterdam brings so many memories. First league event that i attended and I went there with my pops who committed suicide like 1 year later :(.
I waited for this for a looong time
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.
Spoiler alert: the last missiing piece in this story was the Plumy buff
I'm new to lol esports and I'm not a g2 fan I'm a jankos fan. This dude has so much energy. Sorta reminds me of what I've seen about ocelote when he was playing
It feels like Jankos is Naruto of league of legends. The goofy always positive dude who's been viewed as weak, without trophy player for years. But he kept going, got his chance and showed everyone that this "washed up" guy is best Western jungler ever. Even after winning LEC and MSI his still the same goofy kid , always positive always smiling. Respec5
You really uploaded this after they beat Rogue LOL
HELL YEA
You know what i read the comments in the early part of the video that were talking about the timeline, but i think this video was the perfect choice for that kind of timeline video, very good job
I know im late, but I genuinely enjoyed the timeline of the way the story was told. it made me supppperrr hype for what was to come vs what points of his past lead to current strenghts. I'd say it was done phenomenaly
Jankos is my spirit animal
I just love him so much.
1:43 oh damn, ok
JEST KRUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love this format, amazing video
YES! I WAS WAITING FOR A JANKOS VIDEO
YES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Now, we need mikyx
Dude his banshee laugh is the single most funniest thing
Super nice quote and all, piano music... And then boom à wild KURVA appears
Started LoL one month ago and now he's my best Player and Streamer
Have been waiting for this so long
Keep grinding 🚀
I think a lot of people forget,
these guys may not have lifted that cup last year
but they did make the finals,
I mean, how many people can say that they made it to the finals of the world's biggest game.
and we get disappointed they didn't win, sure, but even still the finals are massive.
12:53 Freeze LUL konečně si na něj vzpomněli
Absolute Legend
I missed this guy doing the story telling, I remember that the first score esports video that I watched he was the one commentating
i'm a simple woman i see jankos i like
my god i love him
This video is all over the place. Going from roc to G2 back to H2K
6:17 the way that Sjokz looked back in the day is just... speechless.
my favorite part about these videos and seeing all the old items/runes/champ models ect
Jankos is a legend
It looks like they were inspired by The Last Dance series. That's pretty cool
in around 5 to 10 years ill be the new best jgler europe has produced!
Here before the video was uploaded
0:45 Omg, LCS casters casting is insane
Great Video
As soon as they beat SKT they knew MSI was theirs
"no one's talking to you, Jankos"
:(
6:21 = 2010 hair
this gave me chills
The story of Odoamne maybe? Legendary player
Give us the Weakside King
That's why G2 is the best in that aspect. This team just never tilts
The Last Dance flashbacks
This year, Jankos win the worlds, trust me.
Thanks for another "The Story of"
I was waiting for Jankos story
I WAITED FOR THAT ABOUT A YEAR
these videos always get me to smile cuz they are hilarious
I love the fact that he have Warcraft Illidan book under micro in 10:28
I like the idea of making it like The Last Dance, but it doesn't work for a single episode, I think it was better the old way of doing these videos.
While this wasn't a bad episode at all, I will say I personally prefer when you guys go in chronological order rather than jumping back and forth. That's just my opinion, however.
nice.
12:52 ITS RYU
Look at the class look at the moves
I was there when G2 won MSI. One of the few Europeans in there...with my depressed NA friends ahh good memories
12:11
Jankos: ey, xPeke, did u just Flash?
xPeke: ey? *nervous* no?
others: omfg. no. *hand on face*
also others: it's fine, don't worry, don't worry.
xPeke: no one has to know that.....
XD
The story of Martin 6
dude I hate G2 last year coz they beat SKT but now I just realize how great this team is and I want them to win worlds this year
1:45
Hey Perkz, don't become that, please. Except the win LCS part.
Great Bday present!
This dude crazy good omg
DeMan and Joe were a great commentary team.
We need the " the feeding challenger, the story of thebausffs "
RIP TO THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING THIS WITH EARPHONES AT NIGHT
12:11 A yes Xpeke showing dominance to the enemy by using flash
Jankos GOAT
The king
The king??? Don’t know about that
The Braum King
This kills so much momentum in my opinion, the non linear way is good but i feel like it can still be done better
Can any one tell me what this music 14:20
Not sure about this new style jumping back and forth. It makes the video longer and can break up different insights. But I like the build up to the end or the reasons why things just don’t happen sometimes despite the best efforts.
Giang Văn Cốt. 🙋🏻♂️
So Jankos mastered Ultra Instinct
ABOUT GODDAMN TIME
Just realized the format they're doing in this video is based on The Last Dance, in which they go back and forth with current Jankos and Past Jankos
1:40 he speaks the truth
non chronological story telling will work only when u have proper events to execute a flashback or a switch.Unfortunately this is not fully executed
Finally pogU
The best part is that the best Polish LoL player is Marcin Jankowski (Jankos) and the beat Polish DotA 2 player is Michał Jankowski (Nisha). They are not related.
Make a video about his teammate in h2k, Odoamne!!
