Martin “Rekkles” Larsson has announced he’s exploring opportunities for his next competitive step. The veteran is open to returning as an AD carry, continuing as support, or transitioning into coaching.
The announcement effectively puts Rekkles on the free agency market. He’s signaling to teams that he’s flexible on role and willing to consider multiple paths forward.
Rekkles built his reputation as one of Europe’s best ADCs during his years with Fnatic. He dominated the bot lane for nearly a decade and became synonymous with precise positioning and clutch teamfighting. His name alone carries weight in European League of Legends.
But he role-swapped to support more recently. That move got people talking since high-level role swaps are rare in professional play. His support performance drew mixed reviews. Some praised his safe decision-making and low-death playstyle. Others argued he looked strongest on enchanters but struggled on engage champions.
Now the ADC return is on the table. Fans immediately jumped on the possibility of seeing him back in his signature role. One wrote “I may actually shed a tear if I see Rekkles on AD in the LEC again.” Another said “He’s not a bad sup but the man belongs in carry.”
The coaching angle adds another layer. Including it suggests Rekkles is seriously considering life after playing. Veteran players often move into coaching when they want stability or believe their strengths translate better to strategic leadership. For Rekkles, that could mean a bot lane coaching position or broader strategic role.
The timing aligns with typical offseason roster building. Teams are looking for upgrades and experienced players are testing the market.
Where does he land
Whether Rekkles returns to the LEC or competes in the European Regional Leagues depends on incoming offers. His willingness to play two different roles or coach makes him an intriguing candidate. But it also broadcasts that he’s open to whatever opportunity makes sense.
One commenter captured the sentiment: “Announcing you are willing to play two roles and even go into coaching makes it seem like you’re willing to just do whatever.”
