Rasmus “Caps” Winther is the next player added to the League of Legends Hall of Legends. The Danish mid laner becomes the first Western player to be included.
Caps is the most decorated player in European League of Legends history and has for many years been considered the G.O.A.T of the region.
Caps joins the Hall of Legends
There really is no other player in the West like Caps. He’s had longevity in his career, has been loyal to G2 Esports since joining and has carried his side and region more than once.
In his European career, he has picked up 17 LEC titles, and that number only looks like increasing. He was part of the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) winning G2 side, marking the first win for a European side since Fnatic at the very first Worlds.
Speaking about Caps, Riot Games said:
Caps always felt like the player you could never fully prepare for,” said Chris Greeley, Global Head of LoL Esports. “He has that rare ‘it’ factor, the ability to rise in the biggest moments through his playmaking, leadership, and calming presence under pressure. Caps has inspired an entire generation of Western players and earned the respect of fans around the world. He’s not just one of the greatest League of Legends players of all time, he exemplifies everything we hope our esports heroes can be.”
Caps is now the third player to join the Hall of Legends, joining Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao.
Hall of Legends Event
As with previous Hall of Legends awards, an in-game event will now follow. Caps will be celebrated in-game and out of the game in the coming months.
His official ceremony will take place on August 18, where he will be rewarded with the trophy. For in-game events, those start on September 10. Caps will be rewarded with the Transcendent Tristana skin. There is no confirmation of the second skin, but Sylas is speculated to be the pick.
