KOI reportedly turns to role-swapped Rekkles as one big option in LEC Summer reshuffle

The Fnatic veteran is one of a number of options.

After an underwhelming start to the 2023 LEC season, KOI is set to make a massive change to its starting League of Legends lineup in what is sure to headline a myriad of roster swaps ahead of Europe’s Summer Split.

KOI support Trymbi is reportedly out of the League squad that finished sixth in the LEC 2023 Spring Split, according to a May 1 report from BLIX.ggs Alejandro Gomis. KOI scraped into LEC Spring’s group stage with a middling 4-5 record before a 2-1 defeat at the hands of G2 Esports ended their season early.

Per BLIX.gg, a number of players have been considered for KOIs support role, including Fnatics Advienne and LDLC OLs Théo “Zoelys” Le Scornecbut it is also being reported the role-swapping Rekkles has been interviewed for the position.

Fnatic shocked the League world on April 28 after the organization revealed Rekkles would be benched for LEC Summer following his move away from the AD carry role after ten years. Like KOI, Fnatic struggled throughout the LEC Spring Split, falling immediately in the group stage to last-chance qualifier MAD Lions.
