His competitive career started at age 16 with the teams Playing Ducks and PAH. He was also as a substitute player for both Team BLACK andSK Gaming.[16]
In November 2012, Rekkles joined Fnatic. However, Rekkles was unable to participate in the 2013 EU LCS for their main roster, as he was too young. Because of this, a secondary Fnatic squad, Fnatic.Beta, was created around him.[17] The team was disbanded after a few months. In May 2013, he started playing together with YoungBuck, Shook v2, cowTard, and Unlimited as PrideFC, and after the team got signed byCopenhagen Wolves, he agreed to continue playing with them as a stand-in. On 22 November in 2013, Rekkles officially retook the starting AD Carry position in Fnatic from puszu, as he was now old enough to participate in the EU LCS.
During the 4th season, Rekkles and Fnatic participated in the IEM Season VIII – World Championship, and ended up second place after losing toKT Rolster Bullets during the Grand Finale.
At the beginning of 2014 season Spring Split, Rekkles had a great professional debut and was voted game MVP often. They ended the Spring split in 2nd place, losing toSK Gaming, but secured themselves a spot in the Spring Playoffs. The whole team raised their game for the playoffs, and they emerged victorious after a win againstAlliance in their semifinals matchup, and againstSK Gaming in the Grand Final.
Fnatic endured a rocky start during the beginning of the Summer Split. They could not make it into the top 2 until Week 7 of the Split, while their main rivals Alliance were already at considerable distance ahead of them in the race for 1st place. Throughout the games, Rekkles managed to impress with his plays with Lucian and Vayne, picking up the Weekly MVP Award for Week 9.
On 24 November 2014, Rekkles joinedAlliance as starting AD carry,[18] after many rumours. His first event with Alliance was IEM San Jose. During the IEM, Fnatic ended up in the semifinals, however team lost their match against Cloud9 and placed third after playing against Team SoloMid. During the event, Rekkles was nominated for the MVP award along with PowerOfEvil, Vizicsacsi, Kikis, andSneaky; however the final vote went to Sneaky.
In order to comply with new LCS regulations, Alliance would have to change their name for the upcoming season. On 8 January, it was announced that the team had rebranded as Elements.[19] The Spring Split was not a success for the team as they finished 7th place after making a number of roster changes. Therefore, the team did not made it to the playoffs, however they did qualify for the Summer Split.
On 14 May 2015, Rekkles returned to Fnatic.[20] He was a part of the Fnatic roster that managed to finish the regular season with an unbeaten 18–0 record and became the first team to achieve this in League Championship Series history.[21] He won the EU LCS championship after beatingOrigen, 3–2.[22]
In 2018, Fnatic won both the Spring and Summer Split EU LCS championships. In both splits, he secured a spot on the 1st All-Pro Team.[23]

In November 2020, Rekkles' contract in Fnatic had expired.[25][26][27] He decided to move on from Fnatic toG2 Esports,[7] where the spot for AD Carry was open afterPerkz had left the team to play in theLCS.[28]
At the beginning of the Spring Season of theLeague of Legends European Championship, a song dedicated to Rekkles titledReckless with my heart was released by the LECcasters.[29] The single is about Rekkles abandoningFnatic, where he was a long time veteran, to joinG2 Esports.
After a poor 2021 season, G2 Esports' CEO Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez placed Rekkles on the buyout market. His buyout price was listed at€1.5 million.[30]
Rekkles settled in the European regional leagueLFL with teamKarmine Corp.[31][32] While playing in the LFL in his first split he finished 3rd[33] and won the EU Masters tournament.[34] However, in the following split, Karmine Corp finished 6th in the LFL, unable to qualify for the EU Masters Summer tournament.
After spending one year on the ERL scene withKarmine Corp, Rekkles returned to the LEC. On 15 December 2022, he officially signed withFnatic, where he had previously played twice.[35] During the Spring split, on 26 March 2023, Rekkles reached his 500th game in theLEC.[36] After finishing 9th in the Winter Split and 8th in the Spring Split, Rekkles announces his decision to roleswap from AD Carry to Support.[37] Following this roleswap, Fnatic benched Rekkles.[38]
After less than 1 year in theLEC, he moved toT1 Esports Academy and became the first high profile player from the west to play in the Korean league. On 11 December 2023,T1 officially announced Esports Academy with Dal – Guwon – Poby – Smash – Rekkles, Cloud as substitutive support and GBM as head coach to play in the LCK Challengers League.[39] Rekkles' debut match in the LCK CL broke the viewing record.[40]
Rekkles was withT1 as a substitute at the2024League of Legends World Championship, which T1 won. However, he did not play any games during the tournament, therefore it is not counted as his achievement.[41]
