Marcin ‘Jankos’ Jankowski, a towering figure in the European League of Legends esports scene, has rejoined G2 Esports, not as a player, but as their newest content creator. This move marks a return to familiar grounds for Jankos, who was a part of G2’s lauded roster three years ago. As a content creator, he will amplify G2’s media presence and contribute to their evolving content strategy.
Back to G2 with a New Role
The announcement of Jankos’s new role came through a playful skit shared on G2’s social media platforms. The video humorously depicts Jankos traversing the G2 headquarters, humorously being rejected as a player and a coach, only to reveal his new position as a co-streamer for the LEC in 2026 in the final frames. His journey in 2025 included co-streaming for Rogue, and later for Natus Vincere, following Rogue’s slot acquisition in the LEC.
Jankos and G2 Leverage a Legacy
Jankos’s history with G2 is storied, featuring a golden era where he helped the team secure five LEC titles, a Mid-Season Invitational triumph, and a Worlds final appearance in 2019. This success story solidified G2 as one of the most formidable teams the LEC has seen. Despite moving to Team Heretics in 2022, Jankos could not replicate his former success, with his best finish being fourth place in the LEC 2023 Summer Split.
In the current year, Jankos balanced his passion for streaming and competitive play, serving as the lead jungler for NORD Esports in the Northern League Championship while focusing on content creation. This dual focus positioned him similarly to Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont’s Los Ratones, a team known for its streamer setup.
Jankos’s anticipated return to G2 as a content creator is set to invigorate the organization’s media strategy as the new season approaches in January. While his participation in competitive play remains uncertain, his influence in the scene as both a streamer and a creator is undoubtedly impactful.
