The Fall of League's Two-Timing Superstar

Rekkles was once the face of Fnatic's League of Legends team.

But commitment can be a challenge - and he chose to seek glory elsewhere.

Then, after years of trying and failing to get to the next level with other teams, Rekkles came crawling back to the org that once made him a superstar - Fnatic - hoping to recapture some of the old magic.

Except it was already too late.

Hey everyone, we had a few errors in this video. G2 did lose to Rogue in the LEC Spring 2021- it just wasn't in the finals. They were also bested by Fnatic at the Summer split but the trophy ultimately went to MAD Lions. We sincerely apologize for the errors.

[wormindirt]

he's been a little reckless with his career

[ismaelgonzalezvazquez]

Reaching finals in 2018 was a success in my eyes, at least for EU as a region.

[ForeverDayGreen]

The clear takeaway of the video is that you shouldn't get your entire arm tattooed. Clear correlation between this and his downfall.

[Zestieee]

I've never really been a fan of Rekkles or Fnatic, but it's really sad to see someone's career have this kind of downfall.
I can't imagine what he must've felt every time the decision that he thought would be best proved to be the opposite.

Mistakes were made at 6:20 mark, the MAD Lions won both Splits in 2021, not Rouge and FNC

These downfall stories always makes me wonder and marvel at Faker's career... Consistent Top 3 in the world for last 2 years after what a decade of playing damn...

[TheMineA]

I miss the long documentaries where u highlighted players. This feels more like a drama piece from an independent youtuber

[Alex-hnnr]

That series vs Top Esports still haunting me, I was watching live with a friend of mine They were 2 0 up they had played perfectly and after something happened, after that reverse sweep I know I was so upset like 2 3 days really hard days.

[alanfrancisang]

And now he's in the LCK with T1's challenger squad. Not much of a fall, more like reconsidering his options.

[StrongKickMan]

Did you guys hear the years?
Dude was performing for a decade.

6:20
this isnt correct? they lost to rogue and then fnatic but mad won both splits?

[justgary]

I thought this was going to be a story about his fall as a person but it’s just a story about his failures in league. Y’all can call it a failure but I think he’s had an amazing career. It’s like saying all nba stars that failed to win a championship are “fallen players”. Nah that logic is broken.

[Eliagiulio]

Oh boy now that's an inflammatory title

Also it's kinda harsh saying that he's out of it, FNC in spring looked decent enough and had a ton of problems outside of the botlane

[SuperYeddy]

I remember Rekkles in top form back in his early career in G2. You can’t knock his decline. In every sport each athlete reaches their limit eventually. He’s an OG and deserves some respect.

[ItsWhatever]

He doesn't deserve the hate tho. But nowadays, all players/teams/orgs are getting bashed for so little.

[BorinUltimatum]

Fnatic has already signed a new ADC btw. And Rekkles has committed to a roleswap to support, but not for the fnatic main team. Did the research team not check anything from the past 2 months?

[daniellyra]

I've been following Rekkless ever since he was just a prospect, before Fnatic. It saddens me to see how such a promising player has been through so much. Mad respect, though. You can see the built-up stress all over his face and body, but his eyes are still as shiny as ever. As someone who has been through major slumps in his professional and personal life as well, I'm glad you're still fighting, so will I. Perhaps, someday, both of us will get the glory once promised.

[BlueJoobYTGaming]

In my opinion instead of leaving improving his teammates by communicating leaving and joining is the only thing he has in mind to win more but a team stands together win or lose you have to adapt to new meta and new strategies or create better synergy the lack of better synergy is just too massive compared to teams that work and stay together for a while.

[Zero-qquj]

Rekkles physical change and his abilities in game are directly correlated
