After going two weeks without a win, the perennial LEC champions returned to the winner’s circle with an impressive win over Rogue, one of the strongest teams in the league with the least number of losses.

Rogue entered the fifth week of the split on the back of a league-best eight-game winning streak. The franchise have been undefeated since the second week. They have positioned themselves as the best team in the region, having maintained top-level consistency more than any other team.

For G2, they have had to struggle in a bid to replicate their form from the 2022 Spring Split. Prior to their win against Rogue, the German-based franchise were on a four-game losing streak.

Due to Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong��s inability to find successful ganks on Volibear, G2 snatched a small lead early on in the game over Rogue. His impact was reduced even further with the Relentless Storm having suffered hits more recently with significant nerfs. It didn’t help that the Relentless Storm had recently received significant nerfs, reducing his impact even further. Rogue could not contain G2 as the franchise’s revitalized teamfighting proved to be much more than they could handle, despite having some well-timed picks on Sergen “Broken Blade” ?elik.

To paint a better picture, at 21 minutes of the game, G2 dominated a teamfight with the great positioning and good initiative on Victor Lirola “Flakked” Tortosa��s part as regards his movement, before blowing the game up with a free Baron moments after. The 21-year old AD carry popped off throughout the game and dealt with tons of damage to Aphelios.

Later in the game, owing to G2’s mistakes, Rogue were able to get a baron of their own, but a smart gameplay led by Broken Blade put the franchise at a disadvantage. The German forced Rogue to split off the team in order to defend the base while also attempting to contest the game’s third baron. G2 dominated the ensuing teamfight, capturing the Baron and the Elder Dragon as the team sped to victory in the 38th minute.

By the end of the game, G2 Esports secured 17 kills as opposed to Rogue��s 5 in the best-of-one match-up. All five Rogue kills were made by Markos “Comp” Stamkopoulos, with every player on the roster securing a minimum of 2 deaths.

Every player on G2’s roster secured at least a kill, with the birthday boy leading the franchise with 6 kills. Rasmus Borregaard “CaPs” Winther was next in line with 4 kills and no deaths for the Danish man.

Jankos stated that the team struggled to find the right composition for the current meta throughout their losing streak. Their individual lapses did not help the team’s cause in getting out of the slump. The win over Rogue is said to possibly represent an upward climb for the team in the rest of the league.https://www.max-mtm.com/?p=22050&preview=true

After going trophyless in 2021, the organization reshuffled the team, letting go of key players like Martin Nordahl Hansen, better known as Wunder to rival Fnatic and Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle to Excel Esports. Star-talent Martin “Rekkles” Larsson who was supposed to lead the team to multiple trophies was traded. The Swedish bot laner joined the French organization, Karmine Corp.

With these elite players off the team, G2 Esports announced the signing of top and bottom loaners on Dec. 2021. Two of which were coming out of the ERLs, Victor ��Flakked�� Lirola and Rapha?l ��Targamas�� Crabb��. German/Turkish veteran top laner Sergen “BrokenBlade” ?elik joined the team from the now non-existent Schalke 04.

The new additions joined the only retained players, Rasmus Borregaard Winther, otherwise known as caPs, and Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski. Not much was expected from the team with a rookie on their roster (Flakked). But the King of Europe shocked the League Of Legends league community, already clinching two trophies this year.

While the team had some challenges early on in the year, ranging from the team’s exposure to Covid-19 to their first playoff series loss to Fnatic. The team was said to have developed into the cold assassins that they have become during the three-week break. The break after the regular season and before the playoffs offered them ample time to bond and master their craft.

Talking about their journey through rebuilding the team, Jankos shared that their achievements today were born out of hard work. He revealed that their absence from the Worlds afforded them an early start with the new members, as they started scrims last November. It was important to build team chemistry and get an early start in finding the perfect mix.

The 26-year old described himself as an “older brother” to the team, stating that the chemistry with the lads has so far been natural. He also shared a scenario where he had to scold the guys, keeping them focused.

Jankos explains that they exist a mutual within the team, despite himself, caPs and BrokenBlade having had more success. He revealed that they don’t have high egos and as such, there’s been no clash whatsoever. He went on about how important it was to listen to everyone and trust them completely, stating that when it comes to it, it is a team effort.

��I feel like even though me, Caps, and BB (might have) had more success in the past (compared to) Flakked and Targamas, we don��t really have high egos,�� Jankos said. ��We don��t think of ourselves as gods. We don��t think that we have to be right. We listen to Targamas, we listen to Flakked, and we trust them completely that they have a better idea (on) how to play the game than we do. It��s a team effort and a lot of ideas come from the five of us and the coaching staff, not only from a single player.��
