"Los Ratones might be the last thing I ever do," Rekkles says about his future

Martin "Rekkles" Larsson dropped what could be a bombshell in his post-match interview during this LEC Versus weekend, hinting this competition could be his final run in Europe's best league. Already speaking about his mentality in his latest Sheep Esports interview, the veteran opened up about his all-in mentality with Los Ratones: "I think it might be the last thing I do here... I'm giving it my absolute most every day because it might be the last thing I do. As sad as that is, it's the truth."

He explains he'd be surprised to end up in another LEC team: "After this, I don’t know where we stand as a group. I’d be surprised if I end up in another LEC team, so I’m just giving it my absolute most every day because it might be the last thing I do.”

The quote cuts deep — not just for fans of Los Ratones, but for an entire generation of European League of Legends fans who grew up watching Rekkles rise to stardom. After more than a decade at the top level, from his legendary years with Fnatic to his high-profile transfers and role swaps, Larsson’s words carried the tone of a veteran fully aware of the weight of his legacy.

This time, though, the focus was less on results or ambition, and more on presence. Throughout the discussion, Rekkles emphasized his renewed clarity and dedication — describing himself as “100%, 110% focused” on performing for his current teammates. It’s a shift in mindset that feels both grounded and bittersweet; a player who’s no longer chasing what comes next, but pouring everything into what’s left.

After a wonderful 2025 season, Los Ratones kicked off LEC Versus 2026 with four straight defeats, staring down a tough road as newcomers in a wildly unpredictable league. They flipped the script dramatically, rattling off four consecutive victories — including clutch comebacks against top contenders like Shifters and G2 Esports — to climb back into playoff contention. Rekkles, credited the young roster's grit: "I'm happy we got these boys to the LEC. They deserve this, man. They play so good."

Over a decade-plus career, Rekkles has etched his name as Europe's greatest AD carry — four LEC titles with Fnatic, all-time kills leader, six Worlds and one MSI apparition. From Fnatic dynasty to a stint alongside G2 Esports, before playing for Karmine Corp in LFL, playing for T1 LCK Challenger team, and now this Los Ratones resurgence, his resilience shines. If this is truly his LEC swan song, he's exiting on his terms, 110% committed.
