Rekkles is one of the biggest ADC talents in League of Legends. He switched to support at T1 and is currently playing in the second league in South Korea. But how is he actually doing there?
This is the situation: The European ADC legend Carl Martin Erik Rekkles
Larsson has made a remarkable step in his career during the off-season. After previously playing for Fnatic, G2 Esports, and Karmine Corp, he has now joined the South Korean team T1 Esports Academy
, not as ADC, but as a support.
Meanwhile, the Swede is training in the South Korean solo queue and has already shown impressive performances there. Currently, the LCK (Spring 2024 Split) is underway. He is playing in the second league, namely in the LCK Challengers (LCK CL).
At 27 years old, he is already considered one of the veterans in esports, and many were wondering how he would perform in South Korea. Obviously, he can shine not only in the solo queue as a supporter but also in the LCK Challengers league.
Rekkles currently has the highest KDA in the LCK CL
How is Rekkles performing in the LCK CL? Statistically, according to gol.gg, Rekkles currently has the highest KDA in the league at the start of the LCK CL. However, he did not have a good start with his team in this split.
- On January 16, he lost with his team 2:1 against KDF Challengers.
- So far, they have won a few games, but overall the team has not yet won a
best of 3
in this split. - They have also lost to DK Challengers, HLE Challengers, and FearX Youth.
Overall, he currently has a KDA of 7.1 after 11 games – averaging 2.2 kills, 1.4 deaths, and 7.5 assists per game. KDA is not everything, but the statistics show that he seems to be doing quite well.
Rekkles is especially known for his Janna, but he also shines on champions like Senna and Renata. As a former main ADC, Senna (marksman support) is also a great fit for him, and he proves that.
In his first game in this split, he had a strong performance with Senna, you can see his stats here:
For some victories, he was also awarded as Player of the Game
.
What could be the problem? The obvious problems lie in communication. As a European in a South Korean team, Rekkles wants to learn some Korean words to be able to make some shot calls
. Rekkles said it is fine for him to play and not talk since he has been playing for a long time. However, his teammates are newbies
and need guidance
in-game. He wants to learn some words so that they can follow him.
It remains to be seen how the T1 Academy team will continue to perform in the LCK CL. Next Monday, January 29, they are set to play against DRX Challengers at around 11:00 AM. Let’s see if they can secure the victory in this best of 3
this time.
