Rekkles climbs incredibly quickly all the way to Challenger in South Korea

What exactly did he accomplish? He managed to climb to the highest rank in the South Korean league, Challenger, with 1,106 LP and a win rate of 63% (as of 12/22/23 via op.gg).

His match history goes back to December 3rd, when he was still in Diamond 2. In an astonishingly short time he made it to Challenger.

If you take a closer look at his profile on op.gg, one supporter immediately catches your eye – Janna. Overall, he played them the most with 66 games during that time, followed by Senna with 19 games and Renata Glasc with 15 games. With Janna he currently has a win rate of an astonishing 68 percent.

Janna is considered a good Enchanter supporter in League of Legends.

What makes Janna so strong?

  • She has excellent disengagement skills and good peel. Janna can throw opponents up with her Q and throw them away with her ultimate. For example, you can interrupt other champions’ hooks and jumps so that they can’t get to you as quickly. Their skills can also be used offensively to create initiation opportunities for the team.
  • Janna is also great for roaming thanks to her skills and passives, which give her additional movement speed.
  • Your shield not only protects, but also increases the target’s attack damage.
  • With her W she can also Slovene.
  • Overall, you feel safe with a good Janna.

    • What’s so special? The LoL server in South Korea is considered the hardest server in the world, some even move to South Korea specifically to train in a boot camp and improve their skills. On the other hand, there are often complaints in the USA that even with a higher Elo, the players in the solo queue are too weak.

    But the South Korean server also has its quirks. Living legend Faker believes that the quality of Korean solo cue is so low compared to the European one. He was often sabotaged in his Challenger games by AFKers and remakes.

    Rekkles’ rapid rise in the South Korean region in his support role is promising. Nevertheless, the question remains whether this success will also be reflected in the official games in 2024.

    With his South Korean team he will play in the T1 Academy and compete in the LCK Challengers League against some of the most promising young new talent in the region. Rekkles is now 27 years old and is one of the old hands in e-sports. Let’s see how he will perform there as a supporter.
