REKKLES INTERVIEW - T1 WORLDS BEHIND THE SCENES / REDBULL EVENT / LOOKING FORWARDS

[@CoffeeSuzu]

Seeing Rekkles bringing such a good vibe to LR, along with seeing Rekkles play with (most of) the T1 Main roster made the Red Bull event such a great experience

[@GamingDualities]

Nice fake promo 2020 account u got there. Your esports are a joke. Imagine thinking u have real esports when u give nobody a chance and handpick same 5 guys 10 years in a row. Disgrace to passionate gamers

⁠@@GamingDualities xdd caught I made this account 4 years ago, back when I wasn’t even following competitive LoL at all, just to glaze LR

[@varetile1068]

I'm going to be completely real: watching the LR streams, watching the scrims, watching the team cohesiveness come together in real time has not only given me a new appreciation for the game, but it's like, reignited my spark for competitive play. I haven't felt this way about a team since TSM. I genuinely want to support this team.

[@ggs4869]

Yes this has 2013 energy. Selfmade orgs/teams. I remember that all the lcs pro players were streaming b4 all the franchising bullshit. Theoddone/ dyrus streams, Curse/Dignitas with Saintvicious and imaqtpie streams and more and more.

[@Lorgres]

Same here. Started playing in 2011 and been a TSM fan since around when Dyrus replaced TheRainMan (2012?). Haven't played myself since 2014 and stopped following LoL esports around 2015. Since getting the Los Ratones announcement as a suggested video a couple weeks back I've been on a huge league trip again, watching every scrim VOD, tournament appearance etc. of LR

[@CthulhusBaby]

Tsm legends with Bjerg finally filled - im with you- thought the same thing ❤

[@Bigpapiwampi]

I 100% agree. This LR experiment has been amazing at showing me how knowing the pieces makes you cheer so hard for them.

[@Snitzel1]

Same. I honestly didn't really care that much for the esports scene anymore. But everytime i watch games of NNO or now tis Redbull event it sparks my passion again.

[@tobintobintobin]

Thank you caedral for bringing back my love of this game

[@nassar8]

honestly can't overstate how much of a wholesome and positive vibe caedrel brings to this scene. lowkey still here mainly thanks to him

[@valtterivalo]

Absolutely. Not a chance I'd be watching league if it wasn't for him.

[@jacobs909]

second that.

[@PirocoLouco]

After years of having the biggest league personalities being toxic soloq ragers (nothing again those guys btw, I love the entertainment xdd) I feel like the last few years since caedrel started co-streaming have felt like such a breath of fresh air from this community.

[@standfirm5506]

props to caedrel i still remember when rekkless kinda the "blacksheep" in EU, in his 2nd return to fnatic, the org welcome him back, but when he losing in fnatic everyone turn againts him, even though fnatic that time already on bad state anyway, then he got kicked from fnatic, he switch role to support, but no team want him, so he do tryouts in T1, and the only one who genuinely hype for rekkless that time for rekkless on T1, is both nemesis and caedrel, and by caedrel always co stream his games in CL LCK, rekkless probably happy and relieved that not everyone in EU is his enemies, true buddy true friends, and got each other back and props for nemesis for suggesting to caedrel how about we invite rekkless to LR as a support

[@XIplupIX]

I agree that it is great and they are probably very food friends and etc.. but lets not act like watching rekklws games was some going out of hid way to support him. Have you checked view counts ?

[@Infiltator2]

@@XIplupIX OFc the views will be great. But they were friends before so its a win-win-win situation

[@baraenbojassen6611]

Rekkles actually received offers from LEC orgs like Rogue to play supp but he wanted to practice because he wanted to become good on the role first.

[@mahatmaniggandhi2898]

But let's be honest he was not good when he came back to fnatic at all

[@baraenbojassen6611]

@@mahatmaniggandhi2898 yes but no one else on the team was either. Having 1-2 months to perform with a new team is a tough task and none of the players did. Still, who was the scape goat? And what results did that lead to after?

[@jinoe5]

Caedrel just can't stop winning with everything happening. Really love this outlook that the success of the team isn't tied to winning all the games. Less pressure for the boys is more fun for us viewers.

[@SenatorDodo09]

Caedrel the streamer always looking at chat and stream while Rekkles the humble nice guy always looking at Caedrel

[@exchangeablename]

Tbf, I think it can be very alluring and sensible to check in on chat for reaction/questions/drop in quips, not like he is a professional interviewer. (I assume you meant it in good fun, just something that occurred to me when seeing the gang talk together after the match).

[@speedy3419]

That Faker talk was so good. Rekkles' way of putting it is so understandable. Like when everyone is so good, Faker brings in those clutch moments from his experience, which puts him above all.

[@vivi9283]

This is soooo satisfying to watch. The rythm, the topics.. Can we have that every week please ?

[@LEANMACHINE123]

so so so glad things have worked out so well for Rekkles, he deserve it. Such a gem of a player.

[@elfireii328]

Its pretty cool to hear about Keria basically being the x factor of T1. It lowley reminds me of caedrel cooking drafts and playing support until rekkles got back.

[@shonen84]

Very wholesome and informative. Yesterday was awesome. 2025 is gonna be sick, guys! Thanks to you both and the other rats to make all this happen. Rekkles’ T1 experiences are super insightful, it’s inspiring, really.

[@spadesx_]

Caedrel is just cooking over and over with no intentions of stopping with the Ws. Rekkles, i'm happy he found a home at T1, one of the best/nicest orgs to players, and now with the rat boys after getting his confidence back! i'm very excited for the future of Los Ratones.

[@realStibic]

left a job that i loved because the management became daily stress and was starting to hinder my mindset. after i found out that i didnt get a raise like i was told after 6 months, i straight up walked out and told them i wont take the disrespect. moral of the story: always stand up for yourself.

[@Quatschgold]

Crazy, that Rekkles does not realize how popular he still is. So many fans are rooting for him. At least the 2 extra security guys should have shown him, that he is still a person of interest :D Take it one step further, we really want to see him back in the LEC. His level is still world class (AD and SUPP), in addition to finally know, why he has certain character trades made him grow a lot as well. At least, it seems like this from the outside. I personally am so happy that LR is a thing for next year and wish you all the sucess you can have - the team is there for it. Additional thanks to the Orga team, yesterday, I managed to snatch one of the shirts on a restock really quick :)

[@nemek2082]

This brings back old league vibes when all the players we're streaming as well. TSM, C9, sneaky imaqtpie. It's so much more fun to support teams / players you can see through streams. This is sick

[@Quatschgold]

I also see this in game discussion, sometimes as challenging for the players. At the end these dudes are challenger players, on the top of the leaderboard. Telling people where to stand during baron might help once or twice, but repeating that over and over and not focussing to a good team comb might hinder the "free spirit" of players.

[@technicalleon]

Great talk! Rekkles' insight on his time with T1 was really interesting. Glad Caedrel got him for LR and I'm also glad he got to play with the main T1 roster before he officially left T1. Such an awesome send-off for him. It's great that they won both games and Rekkles was able to shine. After the past few years he's had, I'm happy he got these wins this year.

[@aaaaaa-p7q8e]

Caedrel will be such a great dad

[@thechoozenone3209]

[@lihisluikku]

It seems to me that there is a rot in the LEC. Really egotistical bullies appear to be heavily rooted into some of the big orgs. So gentle and quiet players like Rekkles and Nemesis end up being bullied. And when they inevitably fail under the weight of the harassment. Constant jabs from the bullies. They get scapegoated and everything is blamed on them. I'm glad that LR is giving these two players a shot at proving themselves again on the EU theater.

[@KingJerbear]

Crazy how Rekkles went from this perceived image of being a "washed up player," to a world famous legend of the game who is showing he still peforms at the highest level Easily one of the most likable guys in esports

[@Holoflux]

2 HOUR INTERVIEW WE EATIN GOOD

[@witherstalk7321]

I hope Las Ratones goes to Worlds and get to fight T1 for real. GL guys.

[@DanteLovesPizza]

Said it for a long time, but the stage experience in front of thousands of people is T1's biggest advantage in Worlds. You cannot compare domestic games in front of 300 people to playing in front of 8000, 15000, people. 80% of 300 people cheering for the opposing team, T1, is 240 people. That's not going to do a lot. 80% of 8000 people cheering for T1 is 6400 people. That's enough to shake the stadium enough to keep you shaking for the entire match. Faker's experience with such a large crowd, and more importantly, winning in front of such large crowds, keeps T1's nerves down and they can perform to their best. No other team has someone like that.

[@galador8089]

[@alexanderanderson6584]

To Rekkles’ point, Keria kinda treats his support role as how Dota 2 support players are. Their job is to create space for the carries or to dictate the tempo and vision of the plays the team wants to make. Now I think junglers and supports kinda share that in League but I think Keria works really well in T1 because he can use his game knowledge to figure out how to allow his team have the best chance to win.

But seriously, fk those fake people like Dardo, Carlos or that jungler who used their own platform to paint shit narratives against Rekkles because he wasn't the kind to fight back, I mean every team has issues and you air dirty laundry because he's not your "bro" unlike your 2019 "G2 bros".
