Caps is quite possibly the best player in the world
Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther has earned the nickname ‘Baby Faker’ for good reason.
Though still a teenager, Danish League of Legends star Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther has built a reputation as not only one of the best mid-laners in the world, but quite possibly the best player in the world, period. He’s an EU LCS MVP, an LEC MVP and an MSI MVP.
As part of Fnatic’s 2018 roster he took the former world champions all the way back to the grand finals once more, only falling at the final hurdle to Invictus Gaming. If anyone has earned the right to take over from triple crown Worlds winner Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok as the face of competitive League, it might just be him.
In fact since arriving in the EU LCS, he’s won every single split he has competed in, a feat no other active European player can lay claim to. Back-to-back wins with Fnatic in 2018 led to an incredible Worlds run in South Korea, all the way to the finals. Then, just weeks later, Caps rocked all of esports by leaving an ascendant Fnatic to sign with G2 Esports, perhaps the biggest transfer coup in all of esports.

This was Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain or LeBron to Miami. And the winning streak continued. Now Caps is back in the final stages of Worlds once more. Can he lift the Summoner’s Cup before his 20th birthday?
Can he lift the Summoner’s Cup before his 20th birthday? With a looming semi-final against SK Telecom T1 on November 3 it won't be easy but you wouldn't bet against it.
