For G2 Esports, the year 2021 can be viewed as an utterly failed season as they ended up empty-handed in the domestic league. Moreover, the disappointment grew larger when G2 also lost their ticket to the 2021 World Championship – a tournament where they had been regulars since their inception until 2020, achieving considerable success there, except for the championship title which still eludes them. Regarding the domestic league, G2 was one of the forces considered “unmatched,” but at present, only disappointment remains.
At the end of the 2020 season, G2 underwent a restructuring by parting ways with long-time player Perkz to recruit the talented Marksman currently wearing the colors of their fierce rival, Fnatic. G2’s and Rekkles’ ambitions were clearly expressed in the statement from the 1996-born Marksman: “I came to G2 to realize my dream of winning the World Championship.” But perhaps, neither Rekkles nor G2 could have anticipated that after that statement, they would be hit hard by “karma” during the 2021 season.
And on the evening of September 28 (Vietnam Time), according to reporter Pablo from Dotesports, Rekkles and G2 have parted ways after a disappointing 2021 season. In fact, this reporter confirmed 100% that this information is absolutely accurate, even though G2’s CEO Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez has denied it and affirmed that the transfer market is still closed.
There have been some questions regarding internal conflicts between Jankos, Caps, and Rekkles. Additionally, the inability to participate in the 2021 World Championship as well as ending up empty-handed in the domestic league may also significantly impact the current atmosphere of G2. However, according to fans, it seems unlikely that G2 would part ways with Rekkles. The most important reason is that at this moment, it is very difficult for them to find a Marksman of sufficient quality to prepare for the new season. Moreover, the best players are currently with their teams preparing for the 2021 League of Legends World Championship, making it very unlikely that a “blockbuster” deal will happen.
Anyway, aside from reporter Pablo and president ocelote, Rekkles himself has not made any statement regarding this information, and regardless of any personnel changes that may occur in the near future, they will surely serve the sole purpose of making a comeback in 2022 and reclaiming the glory they lost this season.
