Rasmus 'Caps' Winther: The European League of Legends GOAT
Rasmus 'Caps' Winther continues to be the focal point in arguments for the greatest of all time (GOAT) European League of Legends player. After securing his tenth domestic title, he definitively stands as Europe's most successful player.
Alias 'Caps'
Under alias 'Caps', sometimes 'Claps', his brilliance is undisputed even on his off-days. He has consistently outperformed other mid laners in Europe while highlighting his superior skills.
Caps' Level of Performance
Few players have ever reached Caps' level of performance. In fact, back in 2019, the G2 team which he represents was the only Western team to win an international title in modern League of Legends. Therefore, it would be difficult to dispute that Caps is the greatest player to have represented the League of Legends European Championship (LEC).
Record Holder
Following his latest triumph, Caps now holds an unprecedented record within his region. Winning his tenth title at the LEC Season Final has certainly further cemented his lofty standing in the game's history.
LoL Talent in Europe
Europe has produced an impressive array of LoL talent, from the golden era G2 team of 2019 and Fnatic's defining players Rekkles and Bwipo, to MAD Lions' recent successful run in 2021. However, Caps stands apart. His performance has consistently remained at an extraordinarily high level for years, often considered the best or runner-up in the region.
With an impressive tenth title to his name, Caps' domestic success is now rivaled only by Faker at the global level.
Caps Over the Years
Over the years, Caps has demonstrated flexibility in terms of game strategy, adapting to shifting metas with a diverse champion pool. While his success has spanned different teams, notably Fnatic, he has become synonymous with G2 and has been pivotal in many of the organization's greatest moments.
Caps' Future Goals
Caps' accolades list still lacks a Worlds title. His team, G2, is keen on adding this to their trophy cabinet. Despite a less than successful campaign at MSI 2023, there is hope for a stronger international performance from G2 in the upcoming games.
