Rekkles AMA

Hellowo!

Hope all is well 🙏🏻

It’s been a while since we touched base on this platform and I figured it would be a perfect time to do it again with the split behind us and all the marbles about to unveil in coming weeks of play.

Regardless of how things ended, the teams included got a clean slate and now have a chance to prove themselves on a new patch. Something that might favor Fnatic, as their skill ceiling is really high and 4 weeks “break” could allow them to reach it (or closer to it than the previous playoffs did with only 2 weeks of prep). Going into the split they had roughly 1 month together, to give you a sense of what this potentially means.

Anyways, feel free to ask me anything. I’ll do my best to answer as many questions as possible 😇

Avatar for Martin Larsson
Martin LarssonPro@RekklesLoL• 31/07/2023
Loading...@aLprausH The handle Rekkles comes from a friend of mine who thought I was very “cold blooded” during my high elo games back in the day. I’d play (and he’d watch me) against the best players and do really well without any kind of reaction or nerves going into it. Before then I was known as “CMEL96” which was much of a gaming tag so figured it was about time I got one.

Loading...Hello Rekkles. Hope you are enjoying the free time you have for yourself now. I wanted to ask if you pay attention to the narratives about yourself or just ignore them and focus on yourseld. What is a support champ you feel is out of your "comfort zone" but you would love to learn? And as someone who owns plushies to this day, I noticed in one of your tiktoks you had a small teddy bear and I was wondering if you name it or not? Wish you good luck with the roleswap and hope to see you in LEC next year!

Loading...Have you had time to enjoy summertime in Sweden? How are you feeling about not playing in FNC atm? Is it stressful not knowing exactly what the future holds for you? Like, how do you cope (if needed). Do you find time to relax (actually relax, both mind and body). We know you quite well as an ADC. But how would you describe your main characteristics as support? What are you good at and what needs more improvement? Also, do you feel ready to play support in any pro team?

Loading...Hi DJ Rekky! I have some questions about your transition into the support role😃 - Which champs do you currently enjoy the most, and which ones are you currently not yet as good at but want to improve on more? - Are you going to Korea in around October this year to bootcamp there? If you do, can you please stream for us and tell us about what have learned there? Talk or train with some pro’s there! I’m sure they’d love to help you out😄😄👏🏻 - And finally what would you like your role to be in a team when you join your next one - do you want to be a heavy shotcaller, do you want to play perfectly defensively to enable your carry? Do you want to be a roamer? Do you want to act as a veteran and be a leader for your team ingame and out? Or do you want to be a more reserved support, focusing on your own play and following the groove of the team? - Lastly and it’s okay to not answer this one but do you want to stay in Fnatic if possible⚡️? You’re awesome! Thanks for answering and I hope to see you soon on stream :) 🖤🧡

Loading...@xNolvi Always wanted to be a football pro (still do). Quite unrealistic dream as the years go by, but follow the scene fondly. Especially Haaland these days, he’s so awesome. I was gonna write DJ as a more realistic dream, but honestly the more I get into it the more I realize it’s gonna be really hard to get there. Producing music is a whole different world and I’m gonna have to seriously commit to it if I wanna get anywhere. So maybe something to test after my career (for example give myself 1 year to make it happen or cancel kind of thing).

Avatar for Martin Larsson
Martin LarssonPro@RekklesLoL• 31/07/2023
Loading...@FNC-BlueForce55 Definitely, but coaching is what I would like to do after everything else. It’s always going to be an option for me so don’t want to rush into it before I’ve explored other possibilities to maximize my growth. This in turn will also help me be a great coach instead of what I’d be right now, a decent coach. In my opinion it takes more than game knowledge to lead a group in the right direction. In some way I think playing support will help me learn a lot of the things that’s needed for coaching.

Loading...@NotEdd The plan is to make a bigger push towards the end of the year (most likely a Korea trip) and then see what opportunities arise for 2024. Would be interesting to get a feeling for what level I can reach with 20 games a day for 1 month straight. To see how right (or wrong) I was about the role swap before committing to a team in good faith. Same reason as to why I declined requests for this summer, I need to know for myself first what I’m able to get done before signing anywhere.

Loading...@brysoo We have a lot of great ADC players in Europe so I think it wouldn’t matter in the end, can learn something from all of them. Maybe best would be to get paired with someone who doesn’t see the game the same way as I do so we can reach a higher high, but with a slower curve. Similar vibe to what me and Hyli managed to create together eventually.

Loading...@cubiclol1 I wouldn’t bet against G2 right now, they’ve been incredible ever since MSI. It’s not often we see teams with this level of play. However, it’s important to mention how good Fnatic was in the regular season with 1 month of preparation leading into it. We’re in a similar situation now, as their next game is on the 26th/27th of August. With such a stacked roster, good grasp of the patch and a longer period leading into it there’s a chance we get to see something special. Fingers crossed!
