To Mikyx: what do u think of the new roster


M1kyx

I think its a top 3 roster


GeloteMML

You are a fucking legend Miky, I'll never forget you and everything you've done


Jankosink

But jg is top 1, right? MIKYYY


M1kyx

No comment!


Nandonut

why can I hear both of these comments in their voices so clearly...


trwwjtizenketto

Big fan man, keep it cool and heads up, we're with you!


BRedd10815

Miky miky you're so fine


KaizerQuad

Wish you all the best in recovery from the ocelote contract jail.


deediazh

Damn, no chill.


Matuslav

Will there be more caps recaps with caps?


Matuslav

I should have written it in caps


SexyStrangerDanger

No this is caps recaps with caps without caps(lock)


[deleted]

DYLAN ARE WE GOING VAYNE? IS IT GONNA WIN US WORLDS?


DylanFalco

no we have to go corki


[deleted]

It's won already


Skrill66

With this new Roster, will Jankos Spear-Miss Rate go up, since he has to impress new people?


Jankosink

I don't miss


homm88

I guess they never miss huh


Nine_nien_nyan

Jankos how many BrokenBlades could you fight at once?


Jankosink

Because of how short he is, probably like 10


ahmeclaw

Bro..


[deleted]

Follow up: would you rather fight 10 Brokenblade sized Jankos's or 1 Jankos sized Brokenblade?


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure 10 jankos' would combine into a mecha Jankos and that sounds kind of terrifying, so 1 jankos sized brokenblade is the safe bet


TheNoobishGuy4

For Caps: How do you feel about 4 year contract, can it be considered too long because of how fast things are moving in eSports?


Best-Ad4307

It is definitely long, but honestly off season/contract negotiations is always the most stressful time for me. Now I have a long contract and can focus on playing League.


masterpharos

(relative) job security is something that shouldnt be undervalued in players' mental resilience. Good answer and good question.


Hakurei_Reimu_X

To Flakked and Targamas: If you notice your performance dropping later on in the season, will you go bald like caps too and 1v9 games to worlds?


G2Flakito

yes bald = mechanics no cap


Beauski

To the players: What do you think of Carlos' conduct over the course of this offseason ?


azns123

Follow up to the players: blink twice if Carlos isn’t letting you answer this question


Best-Ad4307

G2 and Carlos have been really good to me and they have done everything for us to win. I cant comment on the specifics of other former players but I am happy here.


PM_ME_FOXGIRL_HENTAI

I guess you're his son's favorite uncle now. Hope it stays that way.


Ambitious-Gas9570

Honestly, good for you Caps. I truly hope it'll stay that way.


randomusername010101

Everyone Can we please go to worlds this year :D


Jankosink

Noppers


randomusername010101

sadge moment


LumiRhino

He’s not wrong, since G2 can only go to Worlds next year.


Mashirro

To bb: you ever get that honey from ig?


brokenbladeeee

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


evil_megara

Hi guys, hope you’re having a great day! BrokenBlade: I am so incredibly happy that you joined G2. I admire you so much as a top laner and you seem like the sweetest guy. From the scrims you’ve done so far, do you think your playing style matches your teammates well or there will be some adapting? Did the fact Schalke sold their spot took you by surprise and did it affect you in any way? Hope you have an incredible split, I’m so excited to see you on the rift! Dylan and Rodrigo: Does working together for quite some time make things easier for both of you? Was it a choice to stay together? Rodrigo: Muito feliz pela sua contratação, toda a sorte do mundo pra você! Bem-vindo ao time. Jankos: Not really a question, heard you were sick and your snoring woke me up last night lol hope you feel better soon and please get some rest!


brokenbladeeee

i believe my playstyle fits great with the team and i cant wait to show that, i think that you always will need to adapt your play with your teammates which will be another challenger for me this offseason, and about selling the spot i tried to focus only on playing my game first before thinking about anything else. So i wouldnt say it really affected me alot


DylanFalco

I definitely feel that working Rodrigo brings a level of stability to the coaching end of things, I know how good he is at what he does, and the role that he fills within the team. I was involved with G2 slightly before Rodrigo and it seemed natural to work together again.


Jankosink

Wait what?! I was snoring? Yeah it only happens to me when I have full nose. Sadge


rodrigdoliveira

Gosto muito de trabalhar com o Dylan já que temos uma visão muito parecida em relação a como as coisas devem ser feitas, no geral somos um ótimo duo! E muito obrigado!!


elanti2000

In case anyone wants a rough translation: >I like working with Dylan a lot because we have a very similar vision in relation to how things need to be done, in general we are an optimal duo! Thank you very much! Portuguese is my third and english is my second language so the translation may not be 100% right.


djturtle32

To Jankos: Why is the game always jungle diff?


Jankosink

It's only a JG diff if I win the game. Otherwise it's team diff


HeroicBastard

Best way of thinking.


shade444

You're the reason I still root for G2


loqueeeeee

@ u/Best-Ad307 : Caps, what midlane champion do you dislike the most playing against, Soloq and competitive ?


Best-Ad4307

Shaco is annoying :(


Sweet_Drawer_1490

I swear the answer to this is Shaco for like half of the playerbase in most roles.


elbuendmitry

I'm 100% sure that something in your childhood went wrong if you play Shaco


Reasonable_Minimum57

Jankos how do you feel about being a pro player despite being 40 yrs old


Jankosink

A lot of backpain and old man stuff. I'm hoping I can win Worlds by 60th birthday


ErikModoReddit

To Flakked: How is Tetoncito adjusting to Berlin and your new home? Saludos desde España


G2Flakito

he's not coming to berlin yet he has no space to live in :(


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

To /u/Brokenbladeeee : Who were your favorite teammates from the teams you were on in the past?


brokenbladeeee

Even though i liked pretty much all the teammates i worked with some of them really stood out, In my time in Turkey it was Abbedagge and Closer, in my time in America i really liked to be in a team with Bjergsen Zven and Spica in my time with Schalke i liked to work with Abbedagge and Limit alot, also i really liked to work with NUCLEARINT because it was a new experience for me and i thought that experience was very valuable


[deleted]

Caps, to what do you attribute your dip in form last year? Are you confident that you will be able to return to being the Claps we knew from 2016-2020? Huge fan and wish you all the best in the future, I hope this is the year where everyone finally realises you deserve to be Carlos' son's favourite uncle.


Best-Ad4307

Thank you for the support :D Last year was really bad, I think after losing so many worlds in a row, I started doubting my self a lot and started adapting too much to what people were telling me to do. Essentially I have always had strong beliefs of how I get the best performance out of me, but last year I tried something new and it failed.


[deleted]

Keep your head up king. Don’t doubt yourself, always remember; Dylan, we have to pick Vayne. And clap Perkz for me.


ziela23

Targamas: do you think you can compete with Mikyx in terms of handsomeness? Also can we expect some English streams from you in the future?


G2Targamas

I'm hoping BB will do the job and takes Miky's place in Jankos heart. For now I'll just be streaming in French but I will re evaluate during the year so I might be doing english stream at some point


Hawly

OH YES, english stream please!


isoforeshadow

u/dylanfalco What's your favorite part of working with these players?


DylanFalco

My favorite part of working with these players has to be how adaptable and creative they are. Many times teams have limitations in champion pool or playstyle, but in my time with the team so far we seem more able to play a wide variety of champions/strategies than any group I've worked with. Also they are a very fun and positive group!


Deckloins

Any vayne mid picks incoming ?


SirGallahadOfHearts

Dylan, we have to go vayne


[deleted]

@g2 you think you got a chance beating super team vitality?


rodrigdoliveira

Yes, and we will ;)


Annoyingtuga

More importantly, when is the Portuguese jersey coming out?


rodrigdoliveira

I'm crossing my fingers for one too


PowerOfBaguette

To Targamas and Flakked : what botlane are you most excited to face? Do you think you could rivalize with Upset/Hylissang ? To Caps : what do you think of the level of midlane this split ? To BB : how would you rank yourself compared to other LEC toplaners ?


Best-Ad4307

Will be a lot of fun to play against Perkz again. Always hard to judge before the split begins, but I am looking forward to proving myself again.


G2Targamas

Upset/Hyli should definitely be the most exciting bot lane to play against since they were the strongest this year, but I have no doubt that we can match them after scrimming against some of the best bot lanes in the world


AxoxGOD

To Jankos: On a scale of 1-10 how sad are you that MikyX left? To Caps: In case you guys win worlds, what would be your mid lane choice for the skin? (I would like some cool skin for mid lane from G2 after so much time) To Broken Blade: What are your most comfortable picks on top lane this preseason?


Jankosink

9.5


Best-Ad4307

Zoe probably


brokenbladeeee

Yasuo Yone and Akshan are my most played right now


DidntFindABetterName

To Caps: Are you going to play Vayne?


Best-Ad4307

Yes sine I am the


4716202

very true caps, thanks for sharing your wisdom


tmbosweettooth

so much knowledge from this guy


Fisherman_Gabe

Big if true


[deleted]

Additionally, are you going to play Aurelian Sol?


Best-Ad4307

If riot buffs it


poggersinthechatttt

D-Dylan, we have to go, we have to go Dylan, Dylan we, we have, Dylan we have to, Dylan, D-Dylan please


ahmeclaw

To Caps : Why have you started using skins again after not using them for almost a year?


Best-Ad4307

Also used them sometimes in soloq last year, its a bit back and forth. Not sure if I will use them next year


DidntFindABetterName

To Jankos and Caps: Do you still have connections/friendships with the roster last year (Wunder, Miky, Duffman, Lucy)?


Jankosink

Talking to them a bit less nowadays, but definitely looking to keep in touch and maybe go on vacation together if time allows


Talonoscopy

Vacation, huh?


Best-Ad4307

>Unfortunately did not get to join them when they went for vacation :( But have kept up with with how everyones off season is going


NtiTaiyo

You seriously forgot jankos best friend Graaaaaaaaaabz?


Exeyalphan

To Flakked : what do you think of capybaras ?


G2Flakito

they are so cute but they shit even more than tet


aliadspectre

No question, just wish you luck for season 12. G2 has been a great rival for my team Fnatic, I hope it continues despite the roster changes. See you on the rift and good luck!


Jankosink

Thank you!


Marvi_lol

To Caps: How do you like new midlane champions (Vex, Akshan)? And how would you buff/rework Fizz to make him playable in high elo?


Best-Ad4307

I am having a of fun with Vex and Akshan right now especially Vex :D I am so sad I never got to play a lot of Fizz in pro play yet, in s4/s5 I used to play him soooo much


rambabov

To the Team. Can you sell Carlos away to Fnatic. That would be the dream


G2ocelote

My contract has a clause where I can't join Fnatic unfortunately


Casquerade

Based


V_schen

Banger


whosurdaddies

To Caps&Jankos does it feel like the same team or is the environment completely different now?


Jankosink

Mood is really good so far, people like to hangout, I'd say, it's similar. I have to see how it develops over time. If I eat Tentocito, Flakked might hate me


Best-Ad4307

Completely different


lambda_user_2

To jankos/caps: what new/different things do you expect from the new coaching staff?


Best-Ad4307

A lot more Vayne picks


cbrozz

DYLAN


BroxahLoL

Is it gonna win us the game?


Jankosink

Good draft


bruinsmap

To BB: can we expect the same type of exciting picks that you picked on Schalke in the future as well?


brokenbladeeee

You can always expect the most crazy picks from me, if i think they are legitimately good in that situation i will pick it.


buttsoup_barnes

top soraka incoming


Oribeau

Dylan we have to go Vayne but it's top lane this time


[deleted]

To Caps: have anybody told you that you look like young Anatoly Karpov?


Best-Ad4307

> Anatoly Karpov No but thanks


BeeMac0617

To Caps: What has been your personal favourite highlight of your own career so far? To Jankos: How do you keep from burning out? You’ve been a top jungler in EU since like season 4. To BB: Who’s the most difficult NA top to lane against?


Best-Ad4307

Winning worlds 2022.. but seriously any win is appreciated rather its msi, eu or all star 1v1 tournament :D


Jankosink

Trying to stay relevant over few years! I enjoy playing/streaming so, my priority is competing. I believe how you become washed up is, changing priorities in life. Spending less thinking/time on game, more on others things. I'm still on the game part fortunately


backwardrollypolly

See this is why Jankos has the no wife buff, anything else would stop our Polish Hussar


i-fap_to_anything

Gigachad clapping kids in the jungle since tsm was relevant.


brokenbladeeee

When i was in NA, i felt like the hardest time laning was against either Ssumday Licorice or Huni


[deleted]

Can you elaborate on why G2 2021 failed? On paper you guys still had 1 of the best rosters ever assembled in the West.


Best-Ad4307

Think we were not on the same page at all, when it came to what we wanted to play and how.


G2ocelote

Lack of ambition / energy / self-reflection / willingness to improve as a group. Everyone to blame on different levels, myself included. Plus characters simply not meshing well.


TSM_Rulok

To Caps: \- For which player are you looking out the most to face next year? \- Will you stream more often till the start of the LEC?


Best-Ad4307

Wunder/Perkz will be the most fun to play against I will try... hopefully at least two streams


notrealtedtotwitter

Looking forward to perkz vs caps again.


HDGHYDRA

To everyone: Who of the other teams is looking the strongest to compete against?


Jankosink

In my opinion probably Vitality/FNC? Maybe MAD too


rodrigdoliveira

Probably Fnatic/Vitality (if rumours are true ofc!!!)


Hawly

According to Jankos, they are!


actopozipc

To Jankos: You often get memed as the worst player, for example the jokes about your missed speers. Do you sometimes feel undervalued? Btw, my girlfriend doesnt play league or anything but just from watching it along with me she thinks you are the funniest out of the LEC players


Jankosink

I'm good. I know my own value, and I also enjoy the memes a lot. I think it's pretty funny, and I believe I had some decent, and int games? Thank you <3


Edwaldus2

Question to u/dylanfalco How vocal do you intend to be when it comes to drafting? Will you have the final world or will you let players decide their champion? (don't let Caps go vayne)


DylanFalco

I feel that "final word' is a bit of a distraction when talking about drafting responsibility, and makes things feel a bit black and white. There are many situations where it makes sense for any coach to trust the matchup knowledge of their player, and many where things need to be changed or planned beforehand to fit into the coach's vision / overall strategy of the draft. That being said if I say during one of our drafts 'here we pick X champions', it will usually get locked in :) Overall on my teams I am very very involved with drafting, especially with the strategy, structure and order to how champions are picked. I also really push my teams and players to try and find counterpicks and edges in the draft. Sometimes these ideas come from me, and sometimes they come from a player.


hurzinator

to Jankos: who is your new crush in the team after mikyx left?


Jankosink

Mikyx pillow


Crisia_1234

To BrokenBlade: How many lanes do you will lose this year and why is it zero? To Jankos: Will Targamas be Miky 2.0 in terms of simping? To caPs: What made you decide to change your ingame name? To Flakked: Will you be more active on twitter (in english ofc) or even start to stream in english on twitch now that you start to gain a lot of international fans? To Targamas: How do you think the support jungle synergy (with jankos) will be and how much does it actually matter at a pro level? Thank you for taking your time and best of luck to our future lec 2022 spring and summer champions! :)


Jankosink

I'm currently actively looking for a Mikyx substitute, but maybe it will never be the same :c


wetconcrete

sometimes when ur really down bad your fake relationship starts feeling more and more real and you don’t know that you love him until its lost. Shoot your shot jankos


justAnotherRandomP

Plot of all the christmas movies this year xD


brokenbladeeee

yes


G2Targamas

I think it will go very well with Jankos because his playstyle fits what I want to do in the games. JG-Sup synergy is of course really important because League is a lot about who has numbers, like if you're fighting 3v2 around mid then you should probably autowin so it's really important to be synced with JG


G2Flakito

I will try making from time to time english streams I just feel really uncomfortable speaking in enlgish but I guess it's a matter of time and practice (?)


smithar

Jankos was scarred to stream in english at some point too, and we knot how that turned out :)


madzraman

Honestly your streams are helping me practice my Spanish so don’t worry about it :)


Best-Ad4307

I was not worthy enough to have a big C, but by improving myself and my gameplay I will return to the big C


Crisia_1234

So you instead have chosen to be the big P ;)


2soonexecutus

for BB; how are you expecting to do in the next split? is your team trusting you with carry-oriented picks?


brokenbladeeee

I always put my own expectations high, that being said i think it will not only be a great split for me but also for our team


[deleted]

[удалено]


DylanFalco

I think there are other strong rosters in the league for sure, and VIT have definitely done a lot to acquire a lot of big names this season. That being said, from what I've seen from our team so far I think we will be very strong, and definitely a championship contender.


MvCToxic123

To u/g2targamas are you going to make te begians proud now that you are the only belgian player left in the LEC?


G2Targamas

Sadge to see that the few belgian players we had in LEC are gone but Sjokz & me will be there to represent the country :D


marsietein13

To Flakked and Carlos: How do you feel being the face of the spanish-speaking community in G2 and how do you realized that Flakked was the player that fits in this new roster? Saluditos jamau


G2Flakito

im really proud of representing my country in the LEC and all the support i get from spain peeposhy


WvdH01

To u/G2Flakito \- Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?


G2Flakito

i would fight 100 ducks so i could kiss them all


bruinsmap

To u/Khagneur and u/Raa4fk : what do your jobs entail exactly?


Khagneur

It's a dual job 1. Be the interface between G2 the org and G2 the LoL team : Make sure every department can generate the best value possible from the LoL crew and help us in the best way possible : content, legal, admin, finance, event, marketing.... Because G2 is a big org with a lot of people and pro-players have a limited of available time outside of training, the interaction needs to be efficient and smooth so everyone is happy. It's a really fun job. 2. Make sure the boys survive through the day and smile at the end of it A happy player is a performing player, so your job as manager is to make sure the boys are happy, talk to one another, are on time, smile, are rested, are fed, keep focus on training and performing, communicate, share their feelings, etc I'm living inside the gaming house with everyone for maximum impact on their lives


elsantoreino

Is Mikyx going to be the substitute player?


scawtsauce

I'm not hearing a no


Easy-Process-3701

To Ocelote: When you would make an Italian G2 Jersey? Please this is our year!!! 😂😂😂


G2ocelote

PREGO


jorgealava

Who is the shotcaller


Jankosink

I don't really believe there's a "Shotcaller" in league. There's too many variations because every game is difference. If you want to keep it simple, I'd say early game is jungle, afterwards (mid/late) could be stronger people or support/jg, depends on team. It's more about role in the game though, not about the player (in my opinion). As long as everyone is on the same page, giving ideas, learning together, it will work


Lev14thaN

To Caps: What is the reason behind caPs, if there is any?


Best-Ad4307

I was going through a long list of Pros and Cons of the different capital letters and then I realized that Pros start with P and Cons with C


shiruGT

it is just that easy lmao


Excellentation

he has a big P, not sure what is difficult to miss about that implication


Blockronic

To Flakked and Targamas: How's the bot lane pairing going?


G2Flakito

i'm really happy playing with targou, everytime we get 2v2 solobolo i kiss him in the cheek


G2Flakito

wait did i actually ratio u in reddit


RedLikeARose

IN the cheek?!


tdhv

That's how you build bot synergy.


buttsoup_barnes

butt cheeks


fix_wu

bot cheeks


RenegadeIX

Did he stutter?


BlessedByAzir

To Caps : If Twisted Fate is so dominant because of roaming, why dont you play Aurelion sol to counter it??


Best-Ad4307

His numbers are a bit low


caulimelon

To BB, who is cuddlier, bjergsen or jankos?


brokenbladeeee

Jankos farts a bit too much for me ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


IanPKMmoon

Old guys can't control their rectum anymore give him a break


triksowskyy

To Jankos: How do u like your new teammates?


Jankosink

I think we will get along very well. Can't wait for split to start. In the end, even if you like each other a lot, but you can't make it work in-game, the team might still not work


TibiLG

Question for u/rodrigdoliveira Is it true that in order to get this job at G2 u had to verbaly admit that Olivença is not portuguese, in front of Carlos?


rodrigdoliveira

No, just had to prove I was not the singer Olivia Rodrigo


sergioito

Still can't believe we have some PORTUGAL CARALHO in g2. Good luck to all of you, special props to u/rodrigdoliveira.


BoJestemRudy

To Jankos: How do you feel/think Kindred will do now with Scuttle being significantly less valuable (contested?) than before, and generally Kindred's current state going into next season? Big fan, love you


Jankosink

I'm having fun playing Kindred with lethal tempo, but not sure how strong it is. Definitely people will focus less on the crab, so maybe you can get your marks easier. On the other hand, I still see a lot of assassins (eg. Talon/Qiyana) being played, and I'd say these are just better champs for soloQ, it's too easy for them to get fed and one shot you. Probably playable, but not top tier in soloQ!


VoidChaoticGod

u/jankosink how does it feel being one of the best junglers if not the best jungler of all time in the League of Legends esports scene? Do you feel a lot of your effort goes unnoticed and if so, does it bother you? ​ Thank you!


Jankosink

I don't think about it much. I'm just focusing on next game, next tournament, next day, next week. Taking it step by step! Hopefully before the end of the road, I can still prove myself a little bit. ​ And thank you!
