Ocelote
A Swedish AD Carry who set kill records in the LEC and won titles across Europe.
Carl Martin Erik Larsson (born 20 September 1996), better known as Rekkles (pronounced "reckless"), is a Swedish professional League of Legends player who most recently played for Witchcraft at EMEA Masters. He has previously played for Fnatic, Alliance, G2 Esports, Karmine Corp, T1 Esports Academy, and Los Ratones. He is considered by some to be the greatest AD Carry player in European history, notable for being the first player to have reached both 1,000 and 2,000 kills in the LEC and the European player with the most pentakills (10). Rekkles has appeared in 8 international S-tier tournaments: 7 times at the World Championship (6 as a starter, 1 as a stand-in) and once at MSI. He has won four LEC titles, two Rift Rivals titles, three EMEA Masters titles and three Northern LoL Championship titles. He placed second in the 2018 World Championship with Fnatic, and he was a stand-in for T1's 2024 World Championship win, though he did not play any games.

Lore & Background
Originally from Älvängen, near Gothenburg, Rekkles became interested in video games after he injured his cruciate ligament playing football. His competitive career started at age 16 with the teams Playing Ducks and PAH. He was also a substitute player for both Team BLACK and SK Gaming. In November 2012, Rekkles joined Fnatic but was unable to participate in the 2013 EU LCS for their main roster, as he was too young. A secondary Fnatic squad, Fnatic.Beta, was created around him. 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 by Copenhagen Wolves, he agreed to continue playing with them as a stand-in. On 22 November 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 to KT 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 to SK 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 against Alliance in their semifinals matchup, and against SK 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.

Rekkles' career is defined by his longevity and adaptability across multiple teams and roles. Starting as a teenage prodigy on Fnatic, he was forced to wait until he was old enough to play in the EU LCS, spending time on Fnatic.Beta and Copenhagen Wolves. His first LEC title came in Spring 2014 with Fnatic. After a brief stint with Alliance/Elements, he returned to Fnatic and was part of the historic 18–0 regular season in Summer 2015. He reached the peak of his career in 2018, winning both LEC splits and advancing to the World Championship finals, the first Western team to do so since Season 1. After a move to G2 Esports in 2021 that did not go as planned, he dropped down to the ERL scene with Karmine Corp, winning an EMEA Masters title. He returned to Fnatic in 2023 but after poor splits, roleswapped to Support and was benched. He then made a groundbreaking move to T1 Esports Academy in Korea, becoming the first high-profile Western player in the LCK Challengers League. He was a stand-in for T1's 2024 World Championship win. In 2024, he joined the streamer-led project Los Ratones, winning multiple NLC and EMEA Masters titles, and later formed the team Witchcraft. Key moments include his 500th LEC game on 26 March 2023, his buyout price of €1.5 million from G2, and his debut match in the LCK CL breaking the viewing record.
