He Does Whatever the F@*K He Wants: The Story of Perkz
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2020
- When Korea rose up to dominate League of Legends, it looked like Europe could be in for a long wait.
They were looking for the next big player, even as some of their best left for other regions. They were hoping for a sign that Korea was not invincible.
They found it, in a cocky, confident and carefree superstar. A player who rose the challenge the greatest forces in his game, then did it again, in his second position.
Europe found its future in Perkz. This is his story.

"I just wanna be human again." The sadness in that qoute along with his face man, burnout is a real thing and it's devastating.
timestamp plz
Linus Heinz Hirschi literally at the start 1:20
1:28*
thamks! I don't see the devastation though, seems to me he's simply bragging :D
@@h00db01i or at 22:42
When Mithy said "last game toghether" as they approached their last Worlds Game in this lineup, imagine the emotions man. I can't imagine how sad it must have been.
I'm not really into this scene but why was the last game played if they knew they were going to lose the match?
@@zaxx29 final match in group stage
@@fulaxinator6054 And so does that matter when it comes down to tie breakers? Cause it seemed like they knew they weren't getting out of groups.
@@zaxx29 There was no tiebreakers they were already 3rd anyways. Samsung ended 4-2 and they were 2-3. But they had tiebreakers with griffin because both ended 5-1 in the groups
No the match didn't matter at all for the team's placements. I imagine it was simply for tradition or because it was too complicated to cancel the match
History will remember perkz, what history should also remember is how disgustingly he was treated by the European fans at MSI 2016. He was a 17 year old kid getting death threats and hate online because G2 the org hadn’t matured enough to properly handle the backlash from fans. You really have to respect perkz for being able to keep his composure, put his head down and grind out years of poor results to eventually become Europe’s biggest name and most decorated player. 👏👏 UMA 👏👏FUCKING 👏👏 JAN 👏👏
I also remember 2017 when they were flamed, again, because they didn´t defeat SKT in MSI final and only got one game off them and didn´t get out of worlds group where they played against RNG and SSG who would later become world champions. They even had better bilance (3-3) than Fnatic in groups but since Fnatic made it out of their much easier group thanks to winning tiebraker and were praised for their comeback from 0-4, G2 were an easy target for disapointed european fans.
Death threats from fans? Frr? Wooow damn...
History will remember 18:57
Just recently started playing and watching league again and I can see that most league players are still a bunch of fkn losers lmao. Imagine sending death threats because a PRO wasn’t able to defeat a certain team 💀. Those same fkn people probably hard stuck silver lmao.
Perkz is actually the biggest villain in League pro history and I love it. He's Palpatine and Caps is Anakin. Caps was the chosen one, destined to destroy G2, and this worried Perkz so he intentionally let his weak G2 lose to iG in the semis of Worlds 2018 so iG would destroy Fnatic, leaving Caps to be wrought with nightmares about losing to Rookie. Then Perkz approached him and told him stories about Darth Febiven the Wise, a player powerful enough to beat Rookie, but who was ultimately destroyed by the up and coming EU mid superstar, himself, and promised to gift him the knowledge to beat Rookie if he simply joined the dark side and G2, so Caps did, and now Darth Perkz and his apprentice Darth Caps are on their campaign to rid the Pro League scene of all opposition.
this makes a lot of sense
I love this historical writing
This means that the whole competitive history of lol will go to shit in the next few years
@AofCastle Tencent already bought LoL before Caps joined G2. If Disney bought LoL then I guess expect craps the following year and the year after and so forth and so on...
@@louiepaderon344 shee quite!! the mouse will hear you and actually do it.
Perkz changed his name to PERKZ so he's actually Caps if you think about it. Lol
true
I do not understand, can you explain?
@@DelusionalDaniel990 caps lock
How the fuck do u think of this xD
GOOD ONE!
The editor was so done with G2's shit that he didn't even bother to make an official bit for the re-role swap. Who wants to bet when they swap again, during summer split, just before worlds or in 2021. XD
not dealing with another role swap I swear
@@sebdot_ lmao have fun xdddd
Maybe he dont know?
They already swapped
They swapped, look at their op.ggs
When Perkz said "i just want to be human again" i genuinely cried. These people work their absolute asses off, we cant even imagine how much effort and sacrifice goes into becoming and staying the best in a region/the world. Hats off to Uma Jan
lmao at 3:20 you will see how the first bromance in LoL history starts. just love how Jankos and Perkz already joke together
Cyanide x Peke?
When Perkz role-swapped to ADC, Mikyx really helped the transition. Not to take anything away from Perkz (love him as a midlaner) we should really give more credit to Mikyx for being the X-factor of this G2 team
yea its actually insane how overlooked this fact is. Him being this adaptable just in a brink of an offseason really shows how good he is and generally all of them. Some supports take weeks or even a full split to adapt to a new ADC. They have actually supreme game knowledge.
honestly I think the special thing about this G2 team is, that every player can be the X-factor or so to speak. they just have insane thrive towards winning, while mutually respecting each other and leaving space for themselves. I truly believe as long as this group stays together they will always be a contender for worlds title.
They did a whole video on that...
Mikyx and Hylissang are both criminally underrated support players. But Miky deserves extra credit for easing Perkz’s transition to the bot lane.
Well he couldn't help Caps.
"Try play botlane and see how it feels" - wins the first international trophy post-korean entry for a western team, while super stomping DL in the process.
Exdee
msi exdee
The last time I was this early, Perkz still had a decent hairline
Bruuh
He was so handsome though before, everyone should look at pics from 2016
oh no no PepeLaugh
This is what malding your jungler does to your hair
Facts his hair was so good in 2016/2017. All those years of stressed fucked up his hair lol
Deus vult he’s still pretty handsome aside from the hairline
You didn't mention that the true MVP, Mikyx, joined the team!
Yeah he said nothing about Mikyx
I am hoping they dedicate a vid to him aswell
@@mezzohmix2026 like honestly hes the jesus we need hes the babysitter that made caps' style of adc look overpowered.. and aint nobody talkin about ma boi
i think you meant Hampus. It's fine I forgive you.
@@CoachEd promisq still lurks in the shadows, ready to bring put the msi medal and trophy
theScore esports cutting onions again??? :'(
❤Uma Jan laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword.The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the enemies! He cannot stand still when the game start,our lord and saviour Uma Jan.❤
Seto Kaiba a little deep for a video game
People can’t handle the fact that Uma Jan is here - the next level generation ADC, no more farming for items and waiting for late game, the game starts from level 1. Uma Jan fears no champion, no pool is too deep, nor ocean too wide, Uma Jan puts them all to shame. No more does the ADC sit in lane for 40 minutes and fight with all their items. We're here now, we're here to fight, we're here to win.
Night comes.
Tossing... turning... sweat clings to his body. Doublelift dreams on. Throat dry and raw from gasping in his sleep, a weak cry escapes his lips; before him a face.
Darkness envelops him, its embrace cold and chilling. Asleep, Rekkles tosses and turns in his bed. His mind is wracked with fear, confusion, something is coming but he knows not what. He can feel it now, a presence, looming, some powerful, something... new. He cries out in horror.
Sobbing into his pillow Uzi is wracked by nightmares. Descruction, death, all that he knows being torn down and built anew. The meaning escapes him but he can feel it just out of reach, pressing against his mind like a familiar touch. Then suddenly before a name, a dread name.
As one ADCs across the globe awake, though unaware all haunted by the same visions. Their bodies wroght with the pain of muscles cramping, teeth bared in a terrible snarl frozen in horror, and within them a deep, deep fear.
He comes, he comes. UMA JAN.

Wow, the whole esports scene looked so different back then. Feel proud to say I've been watching since season 2.
First time when i checked out the pro scene was when Moscow 5 won iem
Same. It's such a wonderful thing to have seen esports in general develop from those random weekly tournaments to the professional league it is today.
Really recommend Gbay99's new Ocelote documentary for some spicy old school League content.
Maurice B. yesyesyes!!! great video i can only recomend aswell
This content is what we need. Thank you again!
but they just took the script from slush
Missing the role swap full insights tho... :( But thank god there is the G2 documentary for that.
Crazy thing is, he's only 22 by the end of the year. He came in 18 years old and instantly made himself known, and kept up ever since. Insane
You clearly don't understand what young means in esports.
@@siciliandragon4675 You clearly cant read, I didnt say he was young. I said that he was still only 22 meaning hell probably play for another 4 years at least.
@@xCLOWNxMastermind if you agree that 22 isn't young then how is perkz achievements still insane to you ?? In comparison we have jackeylove 19 years old with worlds and 2 domestic titles and uzi is 23 years old .. faker by 22 had more than what perkz will ever have so I don't get why your impressed . Probably a EU fanboy who knows nothing about esports.
@@siciliandragon4675 Damn thats some salt right there. Id say having the most titles (7) of any european player, an MSI title, a Worlds runner up is pretty insane. Sure there are player who achieved more, but Id remind you they also had insane teammates on his side, while Perkz spent his first two years playing with Trick and Expect, while Jackey played with TheShy and Rook1e. And sayin he hasnt achieved as much as Faker doesnt mean much because nobody comes even close to what Faker has achieved, not even JackeyLove. This doesnt mean players like Tian, JKL, DoinB etc. arent insane, they definately are. But I think PerkZ is definately very close, and he is by far the greatest western LoL player of all time
Actually Perkz started playing somewhat professionally when he was 16 and signed with Gamers 2 (later G2) when he was 17.
So even earlier.
I honestly cant explain how much of an inspiration perkz is to me. He inspires me not only as a midlaner but as a league of legends player. I will support you and G2 forever!
He inspired me to surpass my fear of stopping playing against bots and aram to go ranked and get Iron, I never thought I could do it... Frr
One side note for Fnc during 2018: They had the double Toplane and used it in Europe but not rly International. Bwipo as Apc and Soaz as Toplaner was a rly good comp but we knew what happened. Side note ended
I agree with you but fnc fans say it would be even worse but the truth is bwipo at the bot lane was a monster
@Holycrap191 whatever was the meta, a player performing in the role is what should matter.
@@cr8xtremeCaRnAgE the meta was ap and ad bruisers because crit items got dumpsterfired so adc champs were trash except for for some lethality abusers like lucian, u don't expect ppl like reckless and DL to play irelia and camille bot, and you don't expect bwipo to play nrml adc in botlane
@@pogchamp2897 not sure what you are implying after all I didnt bench rekkles but he did it himself bcoz he knew it was difficult to adapt. Having said that Bwipo has shown his talent on varied range of champions and he is inherently a top laner. That what my point is that meta can keep shifting all the time and Rekkles and Bwipo are great players no doubt, however how the player performs at that change is what makes them great.
it teared me when i saw him crying man...so sad that they didnt got worlds
i heard the final has been canceled.
It was so good that they didnt got worlds
@@tiagomoura5289 why man? They sure deserved it, perkz been grinding for how many years
@@nikolapurgar3888 Well in a situation like this it's always good to look at both sides, so in this case FPX's side. Just take Doinb for example. Grinded out nearly as many years as Perkz and was even thinking about quitting before his wife pushed him to go another year with his style of play. When FPX won worlds, you can easily see Doinb being the most ecstatic about winning.
They deserved to lose
22:30, You guys work damn hard. You a champ! Fans are with you when things are up and when they’re down PERKZ.
"I just want to be human again" man how hard have I shred into tears when I first heard him say that...
Amazing video but I think you should have highlighted a bit more how dominant that RNG team was in 2018, they were literally invincible and had won every single title that year! This makes G2's win over them so much more impressive!
Not really, iG was 1 game from beating them without theshy becaue theshy cut his hand and they were one game from beating them in summer, iG were just super underrated that year. Also they didnt highlight the fact that G2 got smashed by iG and by FPX at worlds, they didnt mention that they didnt beat iG to win msi.
@@ColonelMeteorz Cut his hand ?!?
@@ColonelMeteorz To be honest, I think G2 had good chances to beat IG at MSI. IG had a weak performance during the MSI finals. But yeah, at worlds G2 got beaten up pretty bad by IG and FPX.
Ya it is literally the greatest upset to ever happen and they kinda glossed over it
2018 Quarters G2 v RNG will be the best performance by a Western mid for years to come
By a mid in general.
till 2020 finals when perkz carries g2 in the finals against one of the chinese teams
Yeah I think most dominant performance from any mid ever I don't know another mid has been that domininant across an entire series
@@LCM12Lewis Should have seen me on my smurf account.
@@neilpanganiban272 lmao dominating piss lows?
Hope for episode about second part of Jerkz - back to back MVP Jungler - Polish proud Jankos :)
"I just wanna be human again" - Perkz ( enter suffering from success meme)
I think he said it, since he was practicing 12 hours/day and couldnt do "human" things instead of him being a creature above humans.
he's tired of being to good that's why
Great video, that's the content I'm excited to see from this channel.
the quality of these videos just keep getting better, its 2 am here and this got me hyped af
they plagiarised it
Can I just say, this channel has been pumping out soooo much good content and I LOVE IT!
I seriously got goosebumps from the intro, especially "Where were you when the west rose up!"
The greatest player in EU history imho
Not even debatable really, dude has done it all. And it still young

been waiting for a video from you guys on perkz, finally
Amazing video those drum and bass elements when there was hype plays were great
Watching this after Perkz leaves g2 on the 17th of November 2020.
Perkz vs RNG has got to be the greatest performance and upset in league history
Looking back at this video just to wish perkz a great future.
this video was insanely well put together and narrated . welld one man
I have been a G2 fan since the beginning of all this and I have always believed in Perkz as a play and I would never doubt his abilities and one day he will get the worlds title. and make Europe proud.
Mark. My. Words.
Yeah, this aged poorly
Anyone who denies that this guy is the western GOAT is delusional
TSM FANS: But Bjergsen is the Western Faker.
I am so glad we have channels like TheScore in esports. They bring so much value and information to fans and players all over the world.
There is no doubt in my mind that Perkz is the greatest western League of Legends player of all time
Yes finally a new “the story of” and i love it
Keep showing us how amazing you are, Perkz ❤️
Very high quality, and enjoyable too. The end killed me
Who's watching this as memories after Perkz left G2? It still makes me so sad :(
Awesome content and video of the best player in the West! Thank you!
Perkz is my favorite player since 2016
Thx for that nice video😍
The 2018 G2-RNG series was the first and last time I cried at an Esports event. Never gonna forget how great it was.
it was so good to watch, i miss old g2
@Nazi is the best You're a fvcking hater and I can guarantee that:
1. RNG has Uzi
2. RNG is the MSI champion that year taking down prime KingZone with Khan, Pray, Gorilla roster
3. RNG was heavily favored by anyone in the tournament. Even myself, a G2 Fan, believe that RNG will be the champion
4. RNG almost made a comeback in game 5 since Uzi's Sivir is a ticking time bomb but
@Nazi is the best lol they won everything that year they won msi lpl twice how could u not hype them especially considering a chinese team won in the end
@Nazi is the best are you high 2018 rng had literally won every single tournament that year. Msi spring split and summer split they were favourites to win worlds that year. Ah your probably a troll looking at your username.
@Nazi is the best That trash team beat every other team in the LPL
We've waited long enough for next episode from this series
Thank you for making this video
For some reason the ending of this made my cry a little. What a beautiful story that was told!
Chills...One of the best LoL videos of all time without exaggeration.
Everytime he tears up, I just wanna hug him.
Hope there can be more documentary for LPL teams/players, this is a region that is super overlooked at international scale, to the point where many casters put out misinformation due to lack of understanding of the region, that is sad.
Watching this and phenoix's story, u see both team has their own story and plot.
One had dream of whole continent, another had his and his wife dream.
One cheer another despair. And next year both comes with full force.
I love esport. I enjoy the game and it's pro level plays.
My favorite player finally got one of these videos~
It makes me so happy seeing jankos being happy xd hes so genuine
My favorite player in the world. I hope he has many more glorious years ahead of him.
"I just wanna be a human again" BRUH. Idk how to describe what this quote does for esports, but it does a lot.
this is a great and important video, lovely!
Missed the stream yesterday because of online school :(
15:16 TheShy looking back at Wunder gave me chills
Solid content 👌👌👌 waiting on your next upload
G2 at Worlds 2019 finals, that quote from Perkz, I just can't :'(
Amazing work. Good job
im from croatia so proud of perkz achievements and we maybe not sucsesfull in esports that much but we are very sucsesfull in sports so i think croatian mentality when it comes to competitions actualy helped him
Man, your content is Just awesome
Great video, more like this for sure
freakin awesome video as always
20:20 Music? ffs, i've been looking for it since this video came out!!!!!!
same here :-/
yooo.. :(
Perkz' smile is equal parts sinister and wholesome
21:45 I was so disappointed when g2 lost 0:3 but now that I´ve already watched your DoinB´s story video I at least know that fpx deserved it as much as g2, or rather even more since they actually won.
That intro was god tier, keep it up
Thanks for making a vid about perkz
What about the Story of Ocelote?... I mean he was an amazing Player, and now he is a huge Personality in Esports.
He was an average midlaner at best and even overrated. He is a true buiseness man tho with bottomless creativity and innovation
As a player no, as a business man and pr personal a legend for sure
The Scarred Veteran
Hehe no offense, but ocelote’s legacy as a player comes down to him wearing scarfes and being xPeke’d. That’s about the height of his pro career (jk).
@@sleven8013 LOL
New host? I like this one.
Caps is like the rival enemy on the first arc and then friend on the second arc
no perkz no worlds
i was digging the music! good vid.
what's the name of song 20:20?
The editing on these videos are soo good
That MSI moment still gives me goosebumps.
3:05 "korean talents trick *shows emperor* and emperor *shows trick* "
you know .... i don't want to say it
Perkz is just a legend , love u perkz ❤❤❤❤
Watching this back in the middle of what is either an historic implosion from G2 or just the LEC in general catching up with them. I think it's a bit of both given some of the frankly rookie mistakes Wunder and Perkz have been making recently, but overall they've made the region better as a whole and that's a good thing.
Ambition best role swap ever, I'm a FNC fan but Perkz has done alot for Europe, its awesome
Great vid!!
Ah yes, Yasuo with Perkz face in the thumbnail a very iconic image of him at Worlds 2021 against GenG
Man that last interview of Perkz after worlds really hurts
This video made me cry.
Amazing vid!
Caps and Perkz are swapping again for summer this year as well, which is insane. Just swapping for the fun of it and still winning domestically is kinda nuts.
I mean, they just do it for fun and what happens, happens. They kinda don't care about the win and just play for fun. I guess they're not under pressure because they're not thinking about the competition i dunno
Feels like there could be more here tbh, specially for the GOAT of the west. But still happy they actually made a Perkz video.
Wild coming back to this video after Perkz announced he's going to C9.
The music in this video is honestly boppin hard
I always come near to crying when somebody talks about worlds 2019
i think it would be cool if u guys remade the on for caps due to how much has changed for him as a player in the past year
I do feel more needs to be said about the coaches that were with the team at each stage. Youngbuck is so good, then with him switching to Fnatic it meant G2 were in a transitional period with Grabbz and the rest of the new team. After that I think Grabbz has really shown he knows what his role is and how he can get the best from these players.
How a team develops around a player and under different coaches is just as important as what a player chooses to work on and do personally I think
He really put out the Croatian flag, respect brate jos veci 🙌
