Former teammates and organizations have stepped forward to defend League of Legends pro player Rekkles following allegations of being a "narcissistic diva" in a recent exposé by esports journalist Thorin.

T1's CEO Joe Marsh offered strong support for Rekkles, describing him as humble, dedicated, and "part of the family." Marsh particularly praised Rekkles' self-awareness during his transition from ADC to Support role, highlighting his positive impact during his time with T1.

Former Fnatic teammates Bwipo and Broxah also defended Rekkles:

• Bwipo acknowledged that while he initially judged Rekkles, he came to recognize him as "one of the most genuine, kind, and upstanding people" he worked with
• Broxah, emphasizing his long history with Rekkles, criticized the video's intention to "destroy" his former teammate's reputation

Thorin responded to these defenses by stating:

• His sources were people who worked directly with Rekkles
• The information was gathered within the last 18 months
• He used traditional journalistic methods to verify claims
• Many sources felt unable to speak out earlier due to fear of backlash

The controversy highlights a complex situation where different colleagues have varying experiences and perspectives of working with Rekkles throughout his career. While some describe negative experiences, others, particularly recent teammates and organizations, paint a picture of a dedicated professional who has grown and matured over time.
