Not the author's. Attack damage marks, the Season 3 standard on a marksman, with the attack speed on the quintessences — which is where the page name Cowsep shows in champion select, "Attack Speed", comes from. Armor seals and magic-resist glyphs keep the early jungle and the skirmishes stable while the build rushes Berserker's Greaves into Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster and Phantom Dancer. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.
Not the author's. This is a 21/9 offensive jungle page for an AD crit Twitch: Fury, Lethality, Frenzy, Sunder, and Executioner match Berserker's Greaves, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, and Phantom Dancer. The 9 Defense points take Smite support plus Tough Skin and Bladed Armor because the author is jungling while explicitly skipping Wriggle's Lantern. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.
Skill order
ultimate at 6, 11 and 16Deadly Venom
- Ambush (Q) takes points at levels 1, 4, 5, 7, 9.
- Venom Cask (W) takes points at levels 3, 14, 15, 17, 18.
- Expunge (E) takes points at levels 2, 8, 10, 12, 13.
- Spray and Pray (R) takes points at levels 6, 11, 16.
Only the max order is his. The HUD reads Q4/W1/E2/R1 at level 8 and Q5/W3/E5/R2 at level 15, so
is maxed first and
second, with
left for last. The exact level each point went into is not on screen; this is the sequence those two readings imply.
Why these items
Openingsall within the 475 starting gold
Machete and five potions — What he actually starts, and the safe first clear. The Explorer's Ward is the champion-select ward slot — it is in the B slot from the first minute and never leaves it, so the 475 gold is the Machete and the potions alone.
Long Sword and potions — His own correction, mid-game: {*|it's even better when you start with the long sword, because you actually do damage to people when you gank them.}
Corein buy order
1Boots of Speed325gBoots before anything else, on a jungler whose whole game is arriving somewhere.
2Berserker's Greaves900gBerserker's Greaves, and no other boot considered.
3B. F. Sword1,550gThe B. F. Sword he names as the thing he is saving for, twice.
4Infinity Edge3,800gInfinity Edge out of it. He weighs Sword of the Occult against it afterwards and says the kills came from taking this instead.
5The Bloodthirster3,200gThe Bloodthirster, and it finishes the game at 30 stacks.
6Phantom Dancer2,800gPhantom Dancer, chosen out loud from a list he offers chat.
7Statikk Shiv2,500gStatikk Shiv, the one he keeps coming back to — {*|I could get the static shiv} — and does buy.
8Last Whisper2,300gLast Whisper, once the Cho'Gath in front of him is a tank with a Frozen Heart.
9Youmuu's Ghostblade2,700gYoumuu's Ghostblade is in the first slot at the end of the game. Where it goes in the order is the one purchase he never says out loud.
Situationalonly when the game asks for it

Sword of the Occult1,200gSword of the Occult, which he calls genius in hindsight and then argues himself out of: the kills funded Infinity Edge instead.

Madred's Bloodrazor3,800gMadred's Bloodrazor is what he bought the first game and tells you to skip: {*|you don't need Madred's, that's the beauty of jungling.}

Frozen Mallet3,300gFrozen Mallet gets floated as a joke while he is already ahead, and never bought.
Notes
the author's own wordsTwitch Jungle
A gank pick that never stops ganking.
first, red buff, and walk at people from the fog — {*|you can just infinitely gank players, and they have no idea what to do about it.} The game it comes from ends 33/8 with a penta and more kills than the enemy team had between them.
Skip
. He built it the game before and says so repeatedly: the poison does the damage, and the jungle does not need the item. What he wants instead is attack damage early — his own correction is to open

, so a level-2 gank actually kills.
sits in the B slot from minute one and is never swapped out. Twitch's whole plan dies to one Oracle's Elixir, so the vision is not optional — it is how he finds out whether the next gank is a gank or a death.
The boots come off at the end. He finishes on

and
— six damage items and no movement speed at all, with Berserker's Greaves sold to pay for the last of them.
Read off a 24-minute game, so two things are missing: the rune page and the mastery page, which champion select names — "Attack Speed" and "Mastery Page 2" — and never opens.
