|content=Duncan “[[People/Thorin|Thorin]]” Shields recently announced he would be revealing a video exposing professional League of Legends player Carl Martin Erik “[[People/Rekkles|Rekkles]]” Larsson, sparking a divided response from the community. The video, which runs nearly two hours, contains anonymous accounts from players and coaches who allegedly worked with Rekkles, describing him as a challenging teammate. The claims detail his supposed mood swings, passivity, and lack of communication.

Before the video’s release, Rekkles addressed the situation on his stream, stating that he had no intention of watching the video or its trailer. He revealed he was already dealing with “extreme anxiety” related to the controversy, which seemed to be tied to ongoing mental health struggles that he had previously shared with his fans.

In response to Thorin’s criticism, Rekkles expressed frustration, noting that while others have come and gone with their negative views, Thorin had always had something against him from the start. He admitted that he had been dreading the release of the video, fearing it would portray him in the worst possible light. Due to the overwhelming anxiety, Rekkles even mentioned he wouldn’t be practicing with his team that day, struggling to speak on stream.

Thorin began his video by clarifying that he had never met or spoken directly with Rekkles, yet he claimed it was the most thoroughly researched investigation he had ever undertaken. Thorin said he gathered information from former teammates, coaches, and staff members who had worked with Rekkles, piecing together a detailed account of the player’s career. He referred to a “conspiracy of silence” surrounding Rekkles, claiming many insiders were reluctant to speak out due to fears of backlash or concerns that it wouldn’t be worth the trouble.
