A new chapter begins for Martin “Rekkles” Larsson. The rollercoaster ride journey of one of Europe’s best League of Legends (LoL) pro players has now brought him to Los Ratones, set to debut in a new roster soon. Rekkles has almost experienced it all, from being an LEC ADC star, to a T1 Academy support player, and even a Worlds champion as the sixth man for T1’s ZOFGK. As he joins yet another team in his story, fans wonder when Rekkles will play with Los Ratones.
Rekkles’ Journey to Los Ratones
Before his new debut, Rekkles’ journey has been anything but typical. Yet, these experiences are what makes his return to the competitive scene exciting to watch and follow.
Rekkles has played mainly for LEC teams like G2 Esports, Karmine Corps, and Fnatic, making a name for himself as one of the region’s best ADCs. He surprised the League community in 2023 when he decided to move to South Korea and enter the Academy roster of five-time Worlds winner organization, T1.
Rekkles switched to the Support role in T1 Academy and played in the LCK Challengers League. He stayed with the organization until November 2024, after winning Worlds as the substitute player for T1’s main roster. He then took a short break before making the announcement that he will be leaving T1 Academy to play closer to his home country, Sweden.

Rekkles’ Awaited Los Ratones Debut: Red Bull League of Its Own
On December 15, Rekkles will finally return to the competitive stage. He will join Los Ratones at the Red Bull League of Its Own, held at the Accor Arena in Paris. There, they will also face T1 and other LoL pro teams sponsored by Red Bull:
- France: Karmine Corps, Gentle Mates
- Germany: G2 Esports, NNO Old
While waiting for Rekkles, Los Ratones have already made waves in the competitive scene. The team recently clinched victory in the NNO Cup Season 2, with Caedrel temporarily filling the support role. In a Twitch stream before the tournament, Nemesis revealed that Rekkles is on vacation with his family for about two weeks, which was why he couldn’t play.
In the upcoming showmatch vs T1, Rekkles taking over the position is expected to show the true potential of Los Ratones and the team dynamics that fans can look forward to in the 2025 season.
Conclusion
We are thus about to witness another chapter in Rekkles’ story unfold. His arrival in Los Ratones, while critics deem it a questionable decision for a pro his caliber, seems to be in fact a better situation for Rekkles to be. Beside being able to spend time near his family and support system, it proves that the esports world is not all about winning the biggest trophies.
Fans of Rekkles and Los Ratones are eagerly awaiting his debut, hoping to see the legendary ADC-turned-Support bring his skill and experience to this young and ambitious team. Stay tuned for updates regarding the Red Bull League of Its Own and Rekkles’ newest promising endeavor.
