Superstar Rekkles Leaves Fnatic After Eight Years
In a shocking announcement today, Fnatic confirmed that their star European AD carry, Rekkles, will be departing from the organization. After almost 600 games and eight years wearing the black and orange jersey, Rekkles has decided to sign with another team for the upcoming season. This move brings an end to months of contract negotiations between Fnatic and Rekkles.
Rekkles’ Legacy with Fnatic
During his time with Fnatic, Rekkles achieved incredible success. In 2018, he led the team to the League of Legends World Championship final, making it the first European team to reach the finals since season one. His three-year contract extension in 2017 solidified his position as a cornerstone of the team.
Hylissang’s Contract Renewed
Reports suggest that Fnatic has renewed the contract of support player Hylissang for another year. Hylissang and Rekkles played a vital role in Fnatic’s performance at the 2020 World Championship, where the team reached the quarterfinals but were eliminated by Top Esports in a historic reverse sweep.
Rekkles’ Pursuit of International Success
Despite being offered the largest contract in Fnatic’s history, Rekkles expressed his determination to seek success elsewhere. It is important to note that his decision was not driven by financial gain but rather by his desire to achieve international success, which has eluded him throughout his professional career.
This move marks a significant moment in European League of Legends history as it signals a changing of the guard in the long-standing rivalry between Fnatic and G2. With both Rekkles and Perkz rumored to be joining new teams, a new generation will have the opportunity to carry on the legacy of the LEC in 2020.
