Caps turns into League of Legends’ subsequent Corridor of Legends entry, and it is about time

It is that point of yr once more, people: Riot is formally including one other League of Legends professional to the illustrious Corridor of Legends (suppose corridor of fame in sports activities). First it was T1’s Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, in a shock to utterly nobody. Then, it was former EDward Gaming ADC, Jian ‘Uzi’ Zi-Hao. There was a fairly excessive likelihood that 2026’s entry would hail from the land of EMEA, and whereas rumors have been swirling on-line, there are fairly a number of to select from. Martin ‘Rekkles’ Larsson involves thoughts, alongside the likes of Enrique ‘xPeke’ Cedeño Martínez or Henrik ‘Froggen’ Hansen. There may be, after all, the Golden Period G2 roster, too; there are plenty of choices, however just one spot.

That spot goes, maybe unsurprisingly, to G2 Esports’ Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winter; typically generally known as Claps. Simply one of many biggest European League of Legends gamers of all time, he is been G2’s poster little one for years on finish, having burst onto the scene in 2016, earlier than being picked up by Fnatic in 2017. He is been part of the G2 legacy since 2019 – that is seven entire years, and he is not slowing down.

Coming off the again of a first-place win within the LEC Spring Cut up, and a decent exhibiting at MSI, the workforce actually feels prefer it’s recovering from a considerably middling 2025 (the second-place spot at First Stand to kick issues off actually helped). Caps has at all times been cited because the spine of the workforce – partly due to his midlane dominance, but additionally merely due to his profession longevity. He is a veteran participant with a light character, however when he has to step up, he does so in fashion.

His signature Ryze is an absolute beast, however his LeBlanc is nothing to smirk at, both. There have been numerous wild outplays and solo kills – the Akali pentakill towards T1 within the MSI 2019 semifinals by no means will get outdated, and who can overlook Vayne mid? I can not. It scares me.

Caps’ in-game Corridor of Legends occasion kicks off on Wednesday, September 10 with a battle move that celebrates a few of his most iconic moments.

I am properly conscious that there is one query on everybody’s minds: what champion has he picked for his Immortalized Legend pores and skin? Riot’s maintaining that underneath its hat proper now, but when the rumors are to be believed, we could also be seeing Tristana.

As a longtime G2 fan who began enjoying the sport after watching their slam-dunk win towards Origen in 2019, I am so, so glad to see Caps within the Corridor of Legends. He is a participant that is actively impressed me to be extra aggressive; to be extra assured, however, most significantly, to have extra enjoyable. He is at all times remained grounded, and at all times been somebody who makes you smile together with his Caps Recaps and common levity. Of all of the folks to be added to the Corridor of Legends, Caps deserves it. Now, the place are all my G2 jerseys?
