Biography
Rasmus "Caps" Borregaard Winther is a Danish professional League of Legends player widely regarded as one of the greatest mid laners in the game's history. Born on November 17, 1999, Caps began his professional career in 2015 with Enigma Esports before quickly rising through the European competitive scene. His exceptional mechanical skills and champion versatility earned him the nickname "Baby Faker" early in his career, drawing comparisons to the legendary Korean mid laner.
Caps' career took a significant leap forward when he joined Fnatic in late 2016. During his tenure with Fnatic, he established himself as a dominant force in the mid lane, helping the team secure multiple European titles and reaching the World Championship finals in 2018. His time with Fnatic was marked by his ability to outplay opponents mechanically and his willingness to experiment with unconventional champion picks.
In November 2018, Caps made a controversial move to G2 Esports, joining his former Fnatic teammates Perkz and Mikyx. This transfer created one of the most formidable rosters in League of Legends history. At G2, Caps continued to elevate his game, winning multiple LEC (League of Legends European Championship) titles and establishing G2 as a consistent international contender. His partnership with Perkz, first in the mid lane and later when they swapped positions, showcased his adaptability and team-oriented mindset.
Caps has been a key figure in several international tournaments, including multiple World Championships and MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) appearances. His most notable international achievement came in 2019 when he won the MSI MVP award, demonstrating his ability to perform at the highest level against top-tier competition. Throughout his career, Caps has been known for his exceptional laning phase, mechanical prowess, and ability to carry games when needed.
Beyond his mechanical skills, Caps is recognized for his strategic understanding of the game and his leadership qualities. He's often credited with helping to shape the meta through his champion innovations and his ability to execute complex team strategies. His shaved head, which became his signature look around 2021, has become an iconic part of his image in the League of Legends community.
As of 2025, Caps continues to compete at the highest level with G2 Esports, maintaining his status as one of the most decorated Western players in League of Legends history. His career longevity and consistent performance have solidified his legacy as a true legend of the game.
