Rasmus Borregaard Winther
Biography
Rasmus "Caps" Borregaard Winther has established himself as one of the most accomplished and influential mid laners in League of Legends history. Born on November 17, 1999, in Denmark, Caps began his professional career with Enigma Esports in 2015 before quickly climbing the ranks through teams like Inspire eSports, mousesports, and Dark Passage.
His breakthrough came when he joined Fnatic in December 2016, where he formed a legendary partnership with players like Rekkles and Broxah. During his time with Fnatic, Caps reached the 2018 World Championship finals, showcasing his exceptional mechanical skills and champion versatility. His ability to play unconventional picks like Jayce mid and his fearless playstyle earned him the nickname "Baby Faker" from fans.
In November 2018, Caps made the controversial decision to join Fnatic's biggest rival, G2 Esports, replacing Perkz in the mid lane. This move proved to be a masterstroke for both player and team. With G2, Caps has become the most decorated Western player in League of Legends history, winning an unprecedented 17 domestic championships across Europe (LEC) and Turkey (TCL).
Caps' international achievements are equally impressive. He won the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) MVP award and reached the World Championship finals twice (2018 with Fnatic, 2019 with G2). His mechanical prowess, champion pool depth, and ability to perform on the biggest stages have made him a fan favorite worldwide.
Known for his shaved head since 2021 and his habit of vocalizing champion quotes during picks and bans, Caps has developed a unique personality that resonates with fans. His father's support, frequently attending major tournaments including traveling to Vietnam and Taiwan for his MSI victory, highlights the strong family backing behind his success.
Throughout his career, Caps has achieved numerous milestones, including being the first player to reach 2500 kills in the LEC, the first to reach 400 wins in the LEC, and the third player to reach both 1000 kills and 2500 assists in the LEC. His 16 LEC titles and 7 LEC Finals MVP awards demonstrate his consistent excellence and ability to perform when it matters most.
