This departure, which both parties announced on Twitter, signifies a new chapter in Rekkles’ career as he transitions from the AD carry position to the support role.
Rekkles was clear about his intentions for the future: “In a dream scenario, that’s me playing Support in the LEC, at least that’s what I’ve been grinding for the past 5 months.”
He believes that his persona, skills, and his understanding of the game are better suited for the Support role, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to achieving victory and once again gracing the World Finals stage.
Hey hey!
As you may or may not have heard, I'm no longer a part of Fnatic. It saddens me that we weren't able to make things work this year, but also makes me happy to see them succeed during summer and qualify for Worlds. With Trymbi and Noah both doing really well since�� pic.twitter.com/2zAazkAmfJ

In an interview earlier this year, Rekkles shared his journey of personal growth, revealing a transformation that took place over his extensive career.
He discussed his goal of contributing to his team’s success in every way possible, both in and out of the game.
Rekkles’ career has seen several twists and turns in recent years.
In 2021, he left Fnatic, a team he had been synonymous with for years, to join G2 Esports, a historic rival organization.
However, this move did not yield the expected success, culminating in a disappointing season for both Rekkles and G2.
Despite returning to Fnatic in 2023, Rekkles was soon replaced by Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek just before the Summer Split.
As the League offseason begins with LoL Worlds 2023 just underway, rumours of significant changes among teams have been circulating since the end of the LEC Summer Split.
It remains to be seen if Rekkles will join a tier-one organization next year, leaving fans hoping for his return to the LEC stage.
]]>Noah has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Fnatic and, if signed, will take the place of Rekkles as the team��s AD Carry ahead of the LEC Summer Split.
Fnatic and the player��s organisation, Zero Tenacity, have also come to terms over Noah��s transfer fee.
Rekkles announced he was no longer a part of Fnatic on April 28, shortly after he revealed that he wanted to switch to a support role. During the announcement, the veteran player disclosed that, in light of the previous splits that had ended poorly for the team, he needed to reinvent himself.
The decision to switch roles took the LoL esports community by surprise, including Rekkles’ own teammates, most of whom found out about it via his announcement.
Fnatic revealed they were searching for a new AD Carry to field in the Summer Split not long after Rekkles�� post. The marksman might also be on his way to another team after being linked to KOI earlier this month.
Prior to his stint in Zero Tenacity, Noah was signed to KT Rolster for years. He played in the organisation��s academy, Challengers, and LCK levels before leaving to join Zero Tenacity towards the end of 2022.
The Serbian squad is competing in the Polish Regional League, the Ultraliga, and with Noah in the lineup, they won the most recent Ultraliga Spring Split 9 in March. The fast-rising ADC notably received five MVP mentions during the event��s group stage.
Zero Tenacity also represented their region during the April EMEA Masters tournament but was placed last in their group with only one win out of the six group matches.
Despite the team��s performance, Noah remains one of the most sought-after import players and a force on the European scene. Several teams have also expressed interest in the player, labelling him their first pick.
Fnatic��s decision comes after their poor showings during the winter and spring splits.
