Rekkles Becomes Free Agent After Contract with Fnatic Expires
In a highly anticipated move for the League of Legends competitive scene, Rekkles, a prominent European player, has entered free agency after his contract with Fnatic recently expired. This marks the first time in three years that Rekkles is available for other teams to sign.
Having signed a three-year extension with Fnatic in 2017, Rekkles has been a key player and the face of the team. However, it remains uncertain whether Fnatic will renew his contract or not.
This development has caused a significant shift in the European League environment. Rekkles has been a staple in the scene since joining Fnatic in 2014, earning the reputation as one of Europe’s greatest players. He has won numerous championships and even reached the finals of the World Championship.
One of the notable rivalries in esports is between Fnatic and G2 Esports, the two dominant teams in Europe. G2 has dominated this rivalry in recent years, especially after signing mid laner Caps. However, with Rekkles available, G2 is now in search of a new AD carry to further strengthen their roster.
The rumors of Rekkles potentially joining G2 have received mixed responses from fans. Some cannot imagine Fnatic without their most iconic player, while others see this as a chance to create a European superteam capable of winning the World Championship.
Potential Scenarios for Rekkles’ Future
Stick to what you know:
Staying with Fnatic would be dependent on the jungle meta in 2021. If the meta favors carry-style junglers like Selfmade, Fnatic could excel by utilizing Rekkles’ skills to secure favorable advantages in the bottom lane. However, if the meta shifts towards supportive junglers, it may hinder Fnatic’s performance.
Leaving Fnatic would mean parting ways with support Hylissang, who has formed a strong synergy with Rekkles. It remains to be seen if Rekkles is willing to break that synergy and join a new team.
G2 Rekkles: Superteam or too many cooks?
Rekkles’ consistency and ability to recover from setbacks could benefit G2’s roster. However, his passive playstyle often requires jungle attention, which could divert resources away from the top side of the map. This could be a risky move, especially at international events where solo laners play a crucial role.
Implications for the LEC
If Rekkles joins G2, it could create an era of uninterrupted dominance for the team, potentially leaving other LEC teams struggling to keep up. It would fundamentally change the competitive landscape of the league.
Rekkles’ free agency has generated immense excitement among fans, but his plans are still unknown. This offseason has been marked by anticipation for his next move.
