Rekkles, Nemesis, and Jankos Take Down South Korea to Win LoL Legends Match on CHZZK Tournament

They may not be in the LEC anymore, but Martin "Rekkles" Larsson, Tim "Nemesis" Lipovšek, and Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski continue to make EU proud all the same. Representing Europe at the 'LoL Legends Match on CHZZK' showmatch tournament, the three players took down some of the most historic names in League of Legends history to win the whole thing in style.

EU Legends Rise Over South Korea

The tournament, organized by and streamed on CHZZK, featured two days of action between three teams composed of several legends of the game, including past Worlds winners. Here's a look at the players that made up each squad:

Nemesis and company put up a near-flawless run through the Group Stage to kick things off. EU Legends dropped just one game on Day 1 (to CHZZK Legends) to secure their spot straight in the Grand Finals.

The final day of action looked a little rougher for our Western representatives, as EU Legends fell 0-2 in the Bo5 finals to CHZZK Legends and stood on the brink of a clean sweep.

Forced to dig deep, EU Legends decided it was time to put on a show, managing to punch back not once, not twice, but three times to complete the reverse sweep and win the LoL Legends Match on CHZZK tournament on South Korean ground.

Rekkles Still Got It

Though it has now been several years since Rekkles role-swapped to Support, the Swedish star signed up to be the team's ADC at the tournament, and boy did he deliver.

Across the final three games, Rekkles put up a combined KDA of 33/2/19, even securing himself a Pentakill on Xayah during the third game of the finals. Once a star ADC, always a star ADC?
