Rekkles Claims ‘Villains’ on G2 and Fnatic Tried to Sabotage His LoL Career

While several rumors and leaks surrounding Rekkles’ circumstances with both G2 and Fnatic have circulated in the time since he left the LEC, the player himself has directly called out both organizations for leaving him stuck in prison.

While he said nothing about the other players he played with on these teams, he did blast management for letting him get mixed up in bad contracts, even going so far as to call G2’s treatment of him “selfish” and claimed that Fnatic’s management wanted him benched weeks after signing.

“Not only did G2 bench me at the end of 2021 during the first year of my three-year contract, but they also made sure that under no circumstances would I go to another LEC team for selfish reasons (financial/easier competition)” , he said. explained.

“FNC in turn decided to bench me after four months of my two-year contract, in an attempt to get me out after just a few weeks (but were unable to do so at an earlier date).”

Contracts that last a few years, like the ones Fnatic and G2 had with Rekkles, often have hefty and conditional buyouts to reduce competition within the region and prevent players from joining other teams in the LEC.

This is why Rekkles ended up with Karmine Corp in the LFL and now T1 in the LCK CL. He was not allowed to join another LEC team unless an organization was willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a buyout and also offer him a competitive offer. contract.

Moreover, former G2 CEO Carlos himself claimed that he saw a high chance that things would not go well for Rekkles when he signed the player, saying that “he ended up in the second division as he deserved”, when looking back on his time with the organization

Rekkles was also less than happy with the former CEO, claiming that Carlos was his “enemy” during his time at G2 and that the team was deliberately trying to sabotage him.

“I didn’t want them to get any money for me, and I’m sure they wouldn’t let me go to any team. I’m sure they didn’t want me to go to any team.”

Given reports that G2 let both Yike and Mikyx explore their options in the 2025 offseason without a buyout, it’s likely that circumstances within the organization have changed since Carlos’ departure.

Then, on Fnatic, Rekkles was benched after their disastrous split with Rhuckz in support, favoring imports ADC Noah and Trymbi in support. The team was unwilling to let Rekkles compete for another split in both roles in the bot lane with him sitting on the bench for the remainder of 2023.

However, Rekkles claimed that Karmine Corp and T1 bailed him out by offering him offers outside the LEC to remain competitive as a professional player.

It remains to be seen whether the ADC-turned-support phenom decides to return to the region where he made his name in 2025, or if he stays with T1. His current contract with the organization does not expire until 2026, and it is not clear whether T1 would require a buyout for that contract.
