Rekkles travels to LoL World Championship as a substitute

The former Fnatic star ADC is listed as T1 support for the LoL World Championship, which indicates the possibility of the 27-year-old being involved as a substitute for Ryu “Keria” Min-seok.

The player or the organisation have yet to confirm the information; however, Rekkles’ inclusion in the official LoL Worlds 2024 Pick’Em roster all but confirms he will join T1 on their trip to Europe.

Mainly known for his time at Fnatic as the organisation’s star ADC, the Swede left the region in December 2023 to join T1’s Academy roster.

Despite not being given a chance to appear in Korea’s top league, Rekkles enjoyed a successful debut season with his new team and helped T1 Academy place fourth in the LCK Challenger League 2024 Summer Playoffs.

Rekkles’ lack of involvement with the main lineup does not take away from the possibility of T1 bringing him along on their quest to defend the world championship title.

Yet his role within a team remains uncertain and could be limited to only scrims and an emergency call-up.

In an unlikely scenario where Rekkles replaces Keira as the starting support for T1, LoL Worlds 2024 would mark his seventh appearance on the biggest stage and the first since 2020, when Rekkles helped Fnatic reach the quarterfinals in China.

T1 are not favoured to win LoL Worlds 2024

T1 travels to Europe with a lot to prove following their lacklustre showing in the latter stages of LCK season.

Despite winning the Esports World Cup 2024, the Korean juggernauts struggled to keep up domestically and qualified for the LoL Worlds by the skin of their teeth after placing second in the LCK 2024 Regional Finals.

Priced at +800 with League of Legends betting sites, T1 is tied with LNG Esports as the fifth-favourite in the outright betting markets, behind Top Esports, Hanwha Life Esports, and two top contenders in Bilibili Gaming and Gen.G.

LoL Worlds 2024 kicks off on Wednesday, September 28, with the first series of the play-in stage before the main stage begins on October 3.

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.
