In video games, especially in MOBA such as "Dota 2" and "League of Legends", the term "gank" is used to describe a strategy where a player or a group of players attack one or more opponents, usually when those opponents are in a vulnerable position.
This term is often used when a player who regularly stays on one of the "lanes" goes to another lane to help their teammates ambush an opponent. It is used as a strategy to gain an advantage in the game by helping to kill opponents who do not expect the appearance of an additional enemy.
Thus, a "gank" is a strategy that requires coordination and communication within the team, and it can be very effective if executed correctly. This strategy is quite aggressive and shifts the game into a more intense mode. Many players dislike being ambushed.
Players also always monitor other "lanes" to see if all enemy players are in sight. If one or more enemies are not visible, players try to be as cautious as possible, anticipating a new attack (gank).
