Reclaiming the narrative: Rekkles’ thoughts on the past and hopes for the future

On Nov. 18, 2020, Fnatic published an emotional video informing fans that renowned bot laner Martin “Rekkles” Larsson signed with another team after playing in the black and orange jersey for almost six years. He would then join G2 Esports in what arguably was the most promising roster Europe ever produced.

But that dream shattered in 2021 as G2 lost the LEC finals twice in a row after years of dominion in the region. Fans largely attributed their fall from grace to the team’s lack of cohesion both in and out of the game, which led G2 to hold extensive tryouts for several roles at the end of the year, including for bot lane. Less than 12 months on the team, Rekkles left G2 with an uncertain future ahead of him.
