Rekkles claims fourth LEC MVP title with record-breaking G2 Esports performance
A Historic Fourth MVP Crown
Martin ‘Rekkles’ Larsson has etched his name deeper into LEC history books by securing his fourth MVP title during his inaugural season with G2 Esports. This remarkable achievement comes after his high-profile transfer from longtime team Fnatic, proving his ability to excel in new competitive environments.
The Swedish marksman demonstrated why he’s considered Europe’s premier AD carry, though the honor arrived alongside playoff heartbreak as G2 fell to Rogue, eliminating their MSI 2021 qualification hopes.
Unmatched Statistical Dominance
Rekkles’ performance metrics bordered on absurd, posting a 12.61 KDA that dwarfed runner-up Emil ‘Larssen’ Larssen by nearly five full points. His 71.2% kill participation wasn’t just best on G2—it represented the highest involvement rate among all starting AD carries in the league.
What makes these numbers more impressive is how Rekkles achieved them while adapting to G2’s famously aggressive playstyle, traditionally different from his calculated approach at Fnatic. His champion pool expanded to include more playmaking picks like Kai’Sa and Jhin while maintaining his signature Senna and Ashe proficiency.
A Career of Consistent Excellence
This Spring 2021 MVP joins Rekkles’ previous honors from Summer 2014, Summer 2017, and Spring 2018. Since Summer 2016, he’s maintained an unprecedented streak of All-Pro team selections—a testament to his sustained dominance across multiple team compositions and meta shifts.

Bittersweet Victory and Future Goals
The MVP announcement came just days after G2’s surprising 3-1 playoff defeat to Rogue. Rekkles admitted in post-match interviews that individual accolades feel hollow without tournament success: “I’ve never really strived for this individual MVP thing. For me, it’s always been about winning as much as possible—preferably Worlds at some point.”
This mindset reflects Rekkles’ reputation as a team-first player who prioritizes championship contention above personal statistics. His comments suggest an athlete already refocusing on Summer Split redemption and the ultimate prize—the World Championship that has eluded European teams since 2011.
Additional Award Winners
Rogue’s standout performers Kacper ‘Inspired’ Sloma and Andrei ‘Odoamne’ Pascu completed the MVP podium, while their coaching staff earned Coaching Team of the Split honors. G2 and MAD Lions rounded out the top three in the coaching category.
The LEC Spring 2021 All-Pro teams remain unannounced at time of publication, with updates expected following the conclusion of playoff matches.
