I’m going to leave the team at the dawn of the 2023 season, but I want to continue competing. I want to play at the highest level or at a very high level.”

Assuring that G2 Esports’ decision to try another jungler can only be beneficial for both parties, Jankos also acknowledged that his future is still undefined. “I think it’s a happy ending. Of course there is a certain sadness to have to leave the team, but I think I had the best years of my life as a competitor here. We are not not on bad terms, both parties understand each other (…) I can’t wait to see how next year goes (…) That says it all, I can’t wait to destroy them and break them in half”these last sentences were spoken by the player between loud laughter and maybe hint that his adventure will continue in Europe .
