6:20 "[...] I think I played pretty good last year" - Was literally the spring MVP, 1st on stats across the board The standards he has for himself are insane, but I guess that's the mentality you gotta have to be so good for so long.

[@jcpapi4827]

But summer split was thrash. Imo he was too hyped and he only played his comfort picks (senna/jhin/sivir) and this only changed when he started playing Kai'Sa and Kalista (those maps are beautiful to watch). Also he was with a supp that was a troll

[@gaoaibai6243]

Failed to win the French League BOTH splits. Decisively beaten by LCD team or whatever they are called, 6th place in summer and got knocked out of playoffs in the first round... Yeah "good" is a massive overstatement tbh. You put fkin Sandbox in and they would no doubts stomp the shitty French league, and a player of Rekkles caliber should be destroying shit teams like Sandbox BY HIMSELF handily.

[@devinmurphy6575]

The problem is that he didn’t play so well that he was living up to the buyout that was given to him.

[@bambuco2]

@@devinmurphy6575 No the actual problem is, there isn't a single player in LEC worth that much and G2 knew that and that is also the reason why they put that amount. G2 wasn't going to play with Rekkles so why let any other team have him? Make sure one of the top ADCs is not in LEC and that makes their season way easier. Rekkles made a huge mistake going to KC in my opinion because he extended that buyout for another year instead of just taking a break and streaming for a year.

[@Nix-wf3pv]

I know you probably feel jinxed because of leaving FNC: it also happened in the past that you left for a super team and it did not workout well. You took the risk again, and while knowing the consequences, i know you probably fault yourself for it, but you did the right thing from a human perspective. Not going to G2 would have probably created other problems, if not, you would still have remorse for not trying, since your main goal has always been winning worlds, and G2 at the time seemed like the best shot for it. Imho, you will eventually come back, but as right now, you have to be patient because of this buyout thing happening; whatever happens you will fit in, and we fans will support you. Much love rekky

[@janisgustavian]

so Carlos fucked you up pretty good it seems. i'm a big fan and sad to see you having to consider support. here's a crazy idea. reach out to mrbeast and ask him to buy you out for a future project and then let you play in one of your options without a buyout (like a rental but without renting fee).

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

Rekkles was a deserved Spring Split MVP in 2021. He played really good in Summer aswell, although the team that year was running it down, including Caps, who had a uncharacteristically bad year for his standards. The problem is that esports is such a naive and crazy environment that teams paid and still pay absurd amounts of money that they never get back. Now, some teams have started to realize it and are not willing to pay such prices anymore, meaning that no team WANTS to pay such a high buyout.

[@TotalWarlegend120]

Hey Rekkles, been a fan of you since 2014. I'm happy with these updates and the game commentary you have been uploading recently. Makes it a lot easier to keep track. I wish you the best and hope to see you in a LEC team regardless of position. Greetings from Belgium.

Thank you for sharing what happened.

[@haydn1708]

Although it seems like you have been majorly screwed by the corporate environment with contracts and such, it’s outstanding that you take responsibility for what went wrong was within your power and what agency you have to change the future. This sadly isn’t a mindset that many people have these days - bravo for the maturity !

[@MyLovelyForm]

It all started coz he was greedy and left in the first place, then greedy again for not having an agent to make his contract, Fnatic was still very good team when he left so is not like he left to have a chance to win Worlds, coz both FNC and G2 very good teams and he did this mistake leaving FNC once and seems like he didnt learn from his mistakes, sometimes some players only can play best at specific teams on specific enviroment and i think FNC was best team for Rekkles just like im pretty sure Faker will not perform as good as he is now if he would be on a different team. And he also is the only Twitch streamer i watch that has perma sub mode

[@Exydna]

I thought I was a Fnatic fan but after Rekkles left, I realized I was a Rekkles fan. Not saying anything bad about Fnatic, just what it is. Rekkles, you were the first pro player I admired a few years back when I started watching the pro scene. Not only for your sick plays and skills or trophies but also your entire personality and the way you carry yourself. I feel like you're someone I can sit down and have a chat with for hours on end. I hope for the best for you in whatever path you end up taking and know that no matter what, there are fans out there that support you. Looking forward to see you on the big stage in any capacity.

I think you are making the best possible decision in focusing so hard on growing yourself as a content creator. I'm from NA, and while I of course was always familiar with you, it's just recently that I'm starting to see lots of content from you. As you said, I have enjoyed watching games of you playing League of Legends, but I think the videos of you talking about the game are even better, which lends itself to coach/analyst/content. I know you have the competitive spirit and the ideal situation would be to be able to play again for a team at the highest level, but even if that does not work out you certainly have a bright future. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to watching you succeed in the future my friend.

I think ADC is the role best suited for rookies because it's the role that is the eaiest to lead/coach since they have assistant to guide them. When it comes to experience I think from least needed to most is ADC>TOP>JUNGLE>MID/Support. This changes of course depending on playstyle u can also have a very low experienced mid that has insane game mechanics but then u often see teams camp around them like support and jgl helping a ton. Same for jungle when they are insane mechanics then u need an experienced midlaner/support to help them

[@escroll8770]

This is not really towards Reckless, but something these "businesses" (teams) have to understand is that by buying a player at X price, that was your decision to conclude he was worth that value. If that player does not meet or exceed expectations the value of that players drops - this means you took a loss on what you paid. The next person that wants to buy/add them, should not be paying what you paid because you, now, overpaid for a player. That's the loss the "business" has to take for making a bad decision or failing to bring out the best in that player. The player's performance is also in their control to a significant degree and this is the risk involved in buying a player - this is the risk the business MUST understand and be willing to live with. The fact that they are not willing to do so shows how inexperienced and bad this ecosystem is operating. You can't hold a player hostage because you just end up hurting your business and that player. Eat the damn loss and move on. Make new investments in other players and learn form this scenario.

[@threshvilliers]

Well I was never the type of guy to be a fan of teams as a whole. I usually like single players like Faker, Broxah or you.
