Rekkles competitive career startet at age 16 in the teams Playing Ducks and PAH. Meanwhile he was also as a substitute player for both Team BLACK and SK Gaming. His performance allowed him in November 2021 to join Fnatic as their starting AD Carry. 2013 season. Because of age restrictions in the European version of the League Championship Series (today the LEC) he was not yet allowed to play for Fnatic in the EU LCS. At first a  new team with the name "Fnatic.Beta" was formed around him, but after a few month it was disbanded. Rekkles briefly left Fnactic then to play for various teams with the agreement to join again for the 2014 season, in which he would be eligible to play. On 22 November 2013, Rekkles officially retook the AD Carry position. 2018 season. During the 2018 EU LCS Season, Rekkles and Fnatic managed to win both the Spring and Summer Split. In both splits, he secured a spot on the 1st All-Pro Team. At the 2018 World Championship, Fnatic was seeded into  Group D alongside 100 Thieves, Invictus Gaming, and G-Rex. They picked up five wins in the group, allowing them to advance into the knockout stage of the tournament. They won the quarter-finals against EDward Gaming and swept Cloud9 3-0 in the semi-finals to be the first western team since Season 1 to advance to the finals at worlds. However they were defeated 0-3 by their group rival Invictus Gaming. 2019 season. In the 2019 spring split, Rekkles and Fnactic reached LEC playoffs. There they lost to Origen 3-1 after 2 wins against Team Vitality  and Splyce. Thus Rekkles missed the Mid-Season Invitational. In the summer split they won second place, almost beating G2 in an intense Bo5 series. At 2019 World Championship, they managed to eliminate Royal Never Give Up and advanced from the "group of death" to the quarter-finals.

In the Spring Season, Rekkles placed 2nd in the LEC with Fnatic, losing 0–3 in the finals against long term rivals G2 Esports. This repeated in the Summer Season, where Fnatic was once more defeated by G2 , again by 0–3. The 2nd place in summer qualified the team to the 2020 World Championship. In November 2020, Rekkles' contract in Fnatic had expired. Just like Caps had done in 2018, he decided to move on from Fnatic to G2 Esports, where the spot for AD Carry was open after Perkz had left the team to play in the LCS. Thus a "superteam" was formed, bringing together players that were widely regarded as excellent if not the best in Europe. 2021 season. At the beginning of the Spring Season of the League of Legends European Championship, a song dedicated  to Rekkles titled "Reckless with my heart" was released by the LEC casters. The single is about Rekkles abandoning Fnatic, where he was a long time veteran, to join G2 Esports. During the 2021 spring split, Rekkles and his new team G2 Esports placed first in the regular season. At playoffs however they lost their second best-of-five against MAD Lions and dropped to the losers bracket. There they faced Rogue, which was predicted to be the final. G2 lost 1-3 and disappointingly claimed 3rd in the Spring Playoffs of the league. In the first weeks of the  Summer Season of the European competition, G2 looked dominant. But in later weeks the team's performance slumped. At the end, they managed to come back and claim 2nd place in a tiebreaker with MAD Lions and Misfits Gaming in the regular season, qualifying for playoffs. There they lost against MAD Lions and then Rekkless' former team Fnactic. Therefore they also did not manage to reach a spot at the 2021 World Championship. These results where surprising, as the new G2 Esports team was being favoured to dominate the domestic league and even contend for the World Championship title. After  this series of events, G2 Esports' CEO Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez placed Rekkles on the buyout market. His buyout price was listed at 1.5 million euro. After fans hoped he might join the North American League Championship Series or the Chinese League of Legends Pro League, Rekkles settled in the European regional league LFL with team Karmine Corp.
