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. The team was disbanded after a few months.

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. On 24 November 2014, Rekkles joined Alliance as starting AD carry, after many rumours. His first event with Alliance was IEM San Jose.
