There were some rumors about Rekkles wanting to leave Fnatic and possibly joining SK or Alliance. What has happened regarding that? I heard that he is still bound by contract until 2015 something and that Alliance were thinking about buying him out. Then there were this whole thing with the twitter accounts and he no longer being listed as the adc of Fnatic on his fb page. Any thoughts or additional news?

Haaa, I see what you did there. But seriously, I see his point. He wants to win really badly and the rest of his team has not really been up to his standard since the start of the spring split.

The problem with Fnatic is the team playstyle is based on making sure Rekkles and Xpeke got fed even if it meant that the other three roles had to suffer for it and although when it works it works damn well its also inconsistent and alot of teams have figure out that if you stop the Support, Jungler and Top lane from being able to help those two out they don't have any real legs to stand on.

I can understand why Rekkles would want to leave them if its true and if I honest I get a feeling Fnatic may start to struggle if they do not change their ways.

And if anyone bring up the fact they beat Samsung Blue please note I did say they can play great but not consistently and that game is a prime example

Actually I would say that they don't try to get Rekkles fed. Rekkles is generally left alone in bot lane to splitpush except when the team goes for dragon pretty much. Rekkles is probably the best NA/EU adc and can gain a huge advantage and do well even when the rest of his team isn't though. The problem with Fnatic I do agree has been the other lanes. I'm not sure if it's because of the meta shifting a bit or not, but Soaz and xPeke have both not been doing great since the end of playoffs. It might have just been the pressure that was put on them at worlds though because the team looked quite good during the regular season even against Alliance. The team that played against Alliance was not the same team that played them in regular season and IDK what happened.

I'm a big fan of Rekkles and would love to see him play on a team like Alliance but I highly doubt it would happen.

Tabzz is one of the main reason that team was even created.

They have a pretty big rivalry with Fnatic and some members don't like each other.

What?

It's looking more and more like Rekkles is going to Alliance. Tabzz is now a free agent, regardless of why Alliance was created. The only major issue seems to be whether or not they will buyout Rekkles's remaining contract with Fnatic.

I don't know about this big rivalry between Fnatic and Alliance, because I know Soaz and Wickd get on well and I don't recall any beef between the members.

I think that if there is any beef it's not between the members but rather the managers or whatever.

And I think that it can actually be healthy for Fnatic to lose Rekkles since he's been such big part of their success that the other members are slacking.

They're definitely rivals - remember the Wickd vs Soaz top lane face off for All-Stars?

Not heard anything about a big falling out between the two teams though.


If Rekkles joins Alliance then it'll become even more of a Super Team. It'd be interesting to know why Tabzz left Alliance, if he's left to try and make a space for Rekkles that's gotta sting for Tabzz.

Well yes, they're rival in the sense that they're competing teams in their region, but Nighthawk seemed to be insinuating that there's something a bit more personal than that.

No real reason has been given that I know of for Tabzz's departure, so I can only speculate.
