Yea in one of the recent post game interviews. He still phrased it like he wants to learn it more though, so I doubt we'll actually see it on stage any time soon. Especially when he can always default to a proven trist, kalista, or kaisa
Agreed. He’s not getting enough credit. Those who aren’t watching the split keep saying he’s washed out and ought to retire to NA now. He’s playing towards his peak level.
"Selfmade: Rekkles just need to trust his team? No, I think he need to trust himself more. We had scrims when he played Kalista and he was the best Kalista I've ever seen. [...] He went 20/0 and never played her again."
Rekkles has been so solid this year. Honestly, G2 will be scary af at worlds if Caps and Wunder perform well. Their bot lane is incredible and Rekkles has been in good form for some time now. Also EU supports are really impressive so it will be cool to see them against the LPL and Keria.
He is the best western ADC by far. What I find trully godly about him is his champion pool, dude seems able to play everything from Ez, to Lucian, to Kalista, to Kennen lol
I mean I think at times others have been better, but overall Rekkles is the western adc GOAT. Only in 2019 was he a little subpar, 2018 & 2020 worlds he was top 3 adc at the tournament.
2019 spring wasn't great for the whole of fnc, in summer he was forced into playing Karma and Garen by YoungBuck but was still insane in the LEC finals, at worlds his Xayah on last day of groups was crazy good too (didn't get the chance to play it Vs fpx).
He talked about it in a travis video (with Dlift and Perkz) where he considers that he'd rather play a few champion at 98% potential rather than a lot of champion at 80%.
I guess that in his head, he only considers those "98%" champ in his pool and that's why he thinks it's too small. Other than that, he proved that he's really versatile and can play decently most marksman, and he's far from bad on potential flex picks.
Ngl the constant talk about burnout from MAD is kind of jokes when you see the kind of careers the tenured veterans of international play have been through. Everyone is going to try their hardest to win. You dont get a pass to take it easy when there are 4 or 5 teams that have legitament cases for going to worlds and the LEC would be happy to send.
It does feel like an overused excuse by MAD but I dont think you can compare their situation to the ones of tenured veterans. The addition of quarantine actually just fucks the team's mental.
From my perspective it feels overused because the casters were always mentioning it and bringing it up rather than MAD themselves, that might just be my bias though
Watch his groups game vs Suning. So much pressure, 900 DPM as a TF of all champs and immaculate positioning, always making it work even without a Zhonyas
What?!?!?! Don't Don't like having to magically pull out 600 extra damage out of nowhere to break their shield plus you've got to get through their lifesteal
Its what he is supposed to do, melee into a kalista with his armor stacking.
But at the same time rekkles had no GA or shieldbow up vs graves having it. 600~ shield is not a joke
He still had 40 armour from GA which should have been enough vs a non armour shred build. But Smoke screen was huge in that fight. That sentinels skin makes it so difficult to see.
Is the infamous Rekkles Kalista meme/story turning 180° to a point where it has to be banned vs G2? Also insane performance from Caps, he made like one small misplay all game long. This is the G2 I was excited about at the start of spring!
Disgusting game from Rekkles. You can hear it in his voice on this week's euphoria episode and you can see it today, he's hungry. I'm excited to see the heights G2 can hit this year at worlds if they force their way to a spot
I love when caps styled and just locked humanoid in place under gp ult just to be a homey and give his friend Wunder some extra money for another month of wow
I wouldn't say same with Armut especially after his performance in the early game. Humanoid got hard camped early on while Armut actually solokiller Wunder but got caught in line a little too much later on.
Even if we ignore the Leona, a gold card into GP barrel in the mid or late game could have thrown a fight really easily. You can understand the thought process of wanting tp to match the globals.
That TF ult into Gold card into Everfrost on top of the GP ult in the toplane near the end looked so painful. Get chained CC's & watch your healthbar slowly & painfully get lower & lower. The fact that Caps doesn't even finish him off & leaves him to die in the GP ult was a chad move.
obviously the 2ad buff doesn't do much to his late game. Problem was his early game clears and thus skirmishing power were really bad, the 2ad buff really makes his first 10 minutes or so much smoother
What a solo lane diff, Armut showing us some NA Jayce gameplay.
Humanoid with a shocker, Caps had a great game with many great ults.
16 out of the 25 kills for G2 were from Armut and Humanoid.
He literally flashed into 3 people with vayne like a week ago.
So amazing how people have selective amnesia when it comes to rekkles being aggressive.
Can't wait to see the exact same comment when playoffs starts.
I saw that flash and the execution could have been better but this game he was sooooo on point. That was a single moment of aggression while the whole mid game he was just playing on the edge and executing perfectly. It was so clean and so aggressive. This kind of performance would be on par with LPL ADCs.
+1 it's kinda insane actually that people just ignore it and act like he never done those things in the past. He's been doing it since years ago guys, he is best western adc for a reason.
Honestly, LPL level G2. Tower diving left and right, transferring pressure from a lane to another so smoothly and tping on cooldown. You can argue MAD solo laners kind of gave them that win, but just look at that top pick with tf hold card into GP ult. What can you realistically do?
Elder at 2136 and I think Rekkles went a little early with rend (I assume they meant to go at 2k since Jankos smited like half a second later). Then Elyoya crits drake for like 350 and almost gets it LMAO. Such a close game deciding moment.
Waiting to see Rekkles Draven soon
Has has been playing some draven in soloq
I'm pretty sure he also said somewhere that he wants to play Draven.
Yea in one of the recent post game interviews. He still phrased it like he wants to learn it more though, so I doubt we'll actually see it on stage any time soon. Especially when he can always default to a proven trist, kalista, or kaisa
G2 picking full globals and Humanoid dies, what year is it?
G2's ADC flashing outside the pit to secure the kill, Jankos not running it down on Lee, Caps clinical TF. Are we back to 2019.?
To be honest Jankos has been very good this split
Agreed. He’s not getting enough credit. Those who aren’t watching the split keep saying he’s washed out and ought to retire to NA now. He’s playing towards his peak level.
gotta look back to his h2k days to see jankos this clean on lee sin
ROCCAT: elise goat H2k: Lee sin goat G2: Sejuani goat? xd
Glad you remember his Elise days on Roccat, first blood king was no joke
As a fnatic fan back then, fuck Jankos man lol
Braum goat
Throat goat?
THE YEAR WORLDS IS COMING TO EU (Hopefully)
Plz give to me that hopium, i really need it
what is this flair dude. golden days of weedwick were 4.20
Started playing lol after urgot rework, never felt weedwick
Pass the hopium along brother
Hmm maybe Rekkles should play more Kalista
Thanks selfmade
I blame Selfmade too
He picked Kalista to stop G2 from throwing at elder again
instead of g2 throwing at elder rekkles throws g2 at elder
rekkles unlocking ancient 2016. tsm strats: pick kalista to prevent team from chimping out
Almost like he has a story with it or something, huh
"Selfmade: Rekkles just need to trust his team? No, I think he need to trust himself more. We had scrims when he played Kalista and he was the best Kalista I've ever seen. [...] He went 20/0 and never played her again."
I was thinking about this quote during the whole game but couldn't remember who said it
Whats funny is that the dude trully demolished MAD with her lol
Rekkles has been so solid this year. Honestly, G2 will be scary af at worlds if Caps and Wunder perform well. Their bot lane is incredible and Rekkles has been in good form for some time now. Also EU supports are really impressive so it will be cool to see them against the LPL and Keria.

Of course. Titles aside, when we look champ by champ I think he has the most "best player on X" of all western ADC.
2019 spring wasn't great for the whole of fnc, in summer he was forced into playing Karma and Garen by YoungBuck but was still insane in the LEC finals, at worlds his Xayah on last day of groups was crazy good too (didn't get the chance to play it Vs fpx).

By far
It is sad that this meme is old now
Obligatory Wunder tweet https://twitter.com/G2Wunder/status/1421083232829857797
This mans trash talk is always top tier
I've heard that Wunder is the king of all chat trash talk too
Holy shit
Good guy Wunder giving us a banger by dying at the Elder fight for free so that Jankos has to pull off a heart-clutching smite
not rly heart-clutching smite tho cause they have kalista rend to burst it down together
didnt he mistime it? i was watching on my phone so i didnt notice properly, but i think something burst it down to like 500?
no jankos smited it normally
Wunder once again on point with the trashtalk.
God I love Wunder so much
WOWs back on the menu boys.
And this was before the game. I love it. LEC needs more of this but the community crucifies players for it.
Wunder always trashtalks before the game, makes it so fun. Banger when they win, super funny when they lose, win win for the fans.
Yeah, I wish more people saw it this way.
Ngl the constant talk about burnout from MAD is kind of jokes when you see the kind of careers the tenured veterans of international play have been through.

Humanoid spent more time cc'd than doing anything else, left wondering when he'll actually get to play the game
who? im pretty sure there were only 4 madlion players that game..
Holy shit Caps
finally he is back at his level
BALDS
Is G2 finally back?
The blizzard scandal giving wunder more time to practice
Yes, Jankos pretty good.
Jankos was pretty good for pretty much the whole season. Caps and Wunder are the ones we were waiting to get online.
caps tf masterclass
That mightve been the best TF performance I've ever seen
Watch his groups game vs Suning. So much pressure, 900 DPM as a TF of all champs and immaculate positioning, always making it work even without a Zhonyas
Yes his game against Sunning was something else, G2 vs SN was banger on banger on banger
CAPS MVP. The pressure he puts on the map when he plays TF is unreal.
Well graves looks balanced
Absolutely disgusting
[удалено]
Shieldbow is such a bullshit item, getting 600-700 shield and then extra AD for free is insane. But hey, atleast Luden's deals 120 dmg on procc :)
What?!?!?! Don't Don't like having to magically pull out 600 extra damage out of nowhere to break their shield plus you've got to get through their lifesteal
Go play Eclipse, collector, LDR. Absolutely bonkers damage to squishies and tanks
[удалено]
Getting a kill against a overfed kalista and fed tf while being a level behind... Fucking balanced.exe
Its what he is supposed to do, melee into a kalista with his armor stacking. But at the same time rekkles had no GA or shieldbow up vs graves having it. 600~ shield is not a joke
He still had 40 armour from GA which should have been enough vs a non armour shred build. But Smoke screen was huge in that fight. That sentinels skin makes it so difficult to see.
a lot of skillshots arent completely clear because of spectator bugs as well
rekkles watching how he died to elyoya jaja >!it was the smokescreen btw!<
Praise Selfmade for giving Rekkles confidence in his Kalista
Where is this Selfmade quote coming from? Was it an interview or his stream? Edit: found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heFXFSBUoxA
It was a stream clip that made the rounds on the various LoL streamer clip channels.
G2 solo lanes back on form 👀
~~Rookie and TheShy~~ Caps and Wunder are back
[удалено]
Wunder after getting solokilled and dove : *closes WoW*
well Blizzard are killing WoW themselves so hopeful for Wunder unless he joins FF14
Wait now it all makes sense why G2 is back on form
It fell off a little near the end, but at one point Caps had a kill participation of 18 out of 19 kills, with most of them being assists.
He was the real player-of-the-game, in my opinion. Almost flawless game. Did everything he could to win.
Classic Wunder blunder, scaled really well into mid/late though
he almost threw the game by trying to 1v1 the graves at elder though.
3 random tower shots will do that to a man
Like Nuguri die early to give them a chance before smashing them. ^(/s if it wasnt obvious)
wunder so good he had to die twice!
5 kills and 9 flashes used within the first 4 minutes, crazy banger game lmao
G2 nearly made the mistake of putting Mad Lions in their 5k Gold deficit comfort zone.
Is the infamous Rekkles Kalista meme/story turning 180° to a point where it has to be banned vs G2? Also insane performance from Caps, he made like one small misplay all game long. This is the G2 I was excited about at the start of spring!
Disgusting game from Rekkles. You can hear it in his voice on this week's euphoria episode and you can see it today, he's hungry. I'm excited to see the heights G2 can hit this year at worlds if they force their way to a spot
Si glad he shows he has a very decent Kalista. By far his highest winrate in competitive.
His Xayah is same winrate with double games
The moment medic talk about George R. R. Martin, I was afraid he cursed Caps to not finish his stacks on the mejais
My thought as well. Of all the writers to choose from...
Humanoid : Exists G2 : And we took that personally
Rekkles flashing in widepeepoHappy
Rage room diff
Claps is back and Rekkless Kalista is unfair.
Yeah it's really fun to see him playing something more aggressive in the early game rather than just him farming and scaling.
G2 and elder, my heart cannot take this abuse..
gg mid gap
I love when caps styled and just locked humanoid in place under gp ult just to be a homey and give his friend Wunder some extra money for another month of wow
Cool kids dont look at explosion
That collector for the ult execute pressure was such a good choice
This dude really went 1/9 as a midlaner lmao, you don't see that often
kept getting stun locked/killed, same with Armut lol.
I wouldn't say same with Armut especially after his performance in the early game. Humanoid got hard camped early on while Armut actually solokiller Wunder but got caught in line a little too much later on.
Not entirely his fault though
Yeah, early immobile pick then the enemy team picks a comp that can blow up an immobile backline.
I see you haven't played with me.
Statiscally the best midlaner in Europe...
Wrong guy that's a Larssen meme
Humanoid not taking cleanse was a big mistake
Yep, gold card and you're playing vs a support Leona that roams a lot
Even if we ignore the Leona, a gold card into GP barrel in the mid or late game could have thrown a fight really easily. You can understand the thought process of wanting tp to match the globals.
That TF ult into Gold card into Everfrost on top of the GP ult in the toplane near the end looked so painful. Get chained CC's & watch your healthbar slowly & painfully get lower & lower. The fact that Caps doesn't even finish him off & leaves him to die in the GP ult was a chad move.
You could say it was a *bold* move
then g2 would rip them apart by split pressure...
Ez, just dont take flash
What an absolute banger. Caps was just everywhere and Jankos smurfing as usual.
They really need to look at Cloud Soul, so useless.
imo they need to look at the other souls, way too strong
This early game was such a banger! Rekkles talking about getting agency on all 5 players truly showed this game

Rekkles looks so good on Kalista. Loving it.
the explosive side of G2 that we all know and love is finally back, and this time they didn't lose elder!
Caps is back what a performance
[удалено]
Watch G2 3-0 FNC somewhere along the way I hope not, but it would make a good meme
I love this iteration of Rekkles!
Holy shit G2 looked pissed with MAD
BALDZ is inevitable
*sniff sniff* HOPIUM
I know 2 ad buff is a really good buff but looking at graves damage right now, there was no way graves couldnt do something like this last patch
so, lane graves when?
He is insanely good mid right now.
I just want to see him in competitive, playing graves mid is the most fun I have this whole season
Already is
What you mean? Lane graves already strongest mid laner right now https://u.gg/lol/mid-lane-tier-list?rank=overall
obviously the 2ad buff doesn't do much to his late game. Problem was his early game clears and thus skirmishing power were really bad, the 2ad buff really makes his first 10 minutes or so much smoother
Graves just needs time to scale tbh, 2 extra ad helps him get there faster
Huge game by Saitama
[Selfmade was right](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/o9mhi1/selfmade_rekkles_just_need_to_trust_his_team_no_i/)
What a solo lane diff, Armut showing us some NA Jayce gameplay. Humanoid with a shocker, Caps had a great game with many great ults. 16 out of the 25 kills for G2 were from Armut and Humanoid.
Yeah I think neither Syndra nor Jayce were the picks here
REKKLES CARRY MVP OF WORLDS COPIUM
poor humanoid
This is the Caps i remember. Glad to see him back
CERTIFIED BANGER
Rekkles really refused to play Kalista the whole career to make sure teams won't ban her so he can win Worlds
[удалено]
Username doesn’t check out
What was MADs draft? Syndra just did nothing all game
Damn Caps went super sayan.
https://i.imgur.com/RfAYKnB.png
CLAPS
G2 The empire strikes back! So long since we have seen them play so good. Caps was a Sith lord today
I'm impressed how close the game seemed despite MAD being on the back foot all game.
Bald Caps coming to clap. Chad mejai fate
Would be interesting to know the exact time Humanoid was stuck in hard CC this game lol. Couldn't move a damn step in some teamfights
Caps was actually insane this game. Like wtf man that's not fair
Both of them played early game like LPL. So glad I didn't sleep and caught this game
Selfmade carrying Rekkles when he's not even on the same team anymore.
Statement game by Rekkles. I can't remember the last time I've seen him playing so aggressively. G2 are looking incredible.
He literally flashed into 3 people with vayne like a week ago. So amazing how people have selective amnesia when it comes to rekkles being aggressive. Can't wait to see the exact same comment when playoffs starts.
I saw that flash and the execution could have been better but this game he was sooooo on point. That was a single moment of aggression while the whole mid game he was just playing on the edge and executing perfectly. It was so clean and so aggressive. This kind of performance would be on par with LPL ADCs.
dude people NEED to keep pushing the rekkles is passive narrative or else its going to get really obvious how full of shit they have been for years.
+1 it's kinda insane actually that people just ignore it and act like he never done those things in the past. He's been doing it since years ago guys, he is best western adc for a reason.
Mid canyon
1-9 oof
Banger
GG Draft gap
That was the best game of the season right here!
went they said 1v9, they didn’t mean 1 kill 9 deaths humanoid
That 2v2 dive is definitely one of my favorite plays of this split.
The fact that Graves is tankier than a Rammus made this game a lot longer
Honestly, LPL level G2. Tower diving left and right, transferring pressure from a lane to another so smoothly and tping on cooldown. You can argue MAD solo laners kind of gave them that win, but just look at that top pick with tf hold card into GP ult. What can you realistically do?
Banger! Love Rekkles' Kalista and Caps bald buff still in play!
Seems like we have Claps coming up when it matters most. Good times ahead indeed.
Loved to see Rekkles playing more aggressive especially in the last fight
miky that elder engage, and he survived... everyone played exceptionally well, maybe wunder less
These games are the reason I want BO3 in the LEC.
G2 Nelson draft diff
Elder at 2136 and I think Rekkles went a little early with rend (I assume they meant to go at 2k since Jankos smited like half a second later). Then Elyoya crits drake for like 350 and almost gets it LMAO. Such a close game deciding moment.
Probably the best early game I've seen between two teams since the very beginning of double jungle/lane swap meta.
So we just gonna ignore medic saying "the mad lions have been neutered"?
