by European League of Legends icon, Carl Martin Erik ‘Rekkles’ Larsson, bid a monumental farewell to Fnatic, marking the end of an era that had spanned over a decade.
This departure, which both parties announced on Twitter, signifies a new chapter in Rekkles’ career as he transitions from the AD carry position to the support role.
Rekkles was clear about his intentions for the future: “In a dream scenario, that’s me playing Support in the LEC, at least that’s what I’ve been grinding for the past 5 months.”
He believes that his persona, skills, and his understanding of the game are better suited for the Support role, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to achieving victory and once again gracing the World Finals stage.
Hey hey!
As you may or may not have heard, I'm no longer a part of Fnatic. It saddens me that we weren't able to make things work this year, but also makes me happy to see them succeed during summer and qualify for Worlds. With Trymbi and Noah both doing really well since… pic.twitter.com/2zAazkAmfJ

In an interview earlier this year, Rekkles shared his journey of personal growth, revealing a transformation that took place over his extensive career.
He discussed his goal of contributing to his team’s success in every way possible, both in and out of the game.
Rekkles’ career has seen several twists and turns in recent years.
In 2021, he left Fnatic, a team he had been synonymous with for years, to join G2 Esports, a historic rival organization.
However, this move did not yield the expected success, culminating in a disappointing season for both Rekkles and G2.
Despite returning to Fnatic in 2023, Rekkles was soon replaced by Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek just before the Summer Split.
As the League offseason begins with LoL Worlds 2023 just underway, rumours of significant changes among teams have been circulating since the end of the LEC Summer Split.
It remains to be seen if Rekkles will join a tier-one organization next year, leaving fans hoping for his return to the LEC stage.
