Fnatic has issued a statement regarding the behavior of their new 17-year-old mid laner Rasmus "Caps" Winther in his solo queue, which was posted in a Reddit thread Friday.

"We acknowledge that there have been contradicting actions in the past from our newcomer Caps," Fnatic said in the Reddit thread. "Such behaviour is does not meet the standards that we set for players within our organisation. Going forward, we will be monitoring Rasmus’ behaviour very carefully."

The statement is a response in a thread related to a tweeted screen cap of an in-game chat log. In the log, Caps threatened other players in his game, claiming that he has influence over the LCS.

"You can troll me all you want, but I will make sure you never get to join a CS nor LCS team," Caps said in the chat log.

Word of Caps' solo queue behavior first became apparent in a Reddit thread posted earlier today which alleged that Caps was intentionally feeding. The thread also linked to several Twitter responses, including the aforementioned Tweeted screen cap, as well as a response from former LCS AD carry Erik "Tabzz" van Helvert.

i thought caps was really good a few months ago, but now every soloq game he seems to not give a fuck and int. wonder how he'll do in LCS. — Erik van Helvert (@TabzzLoL) November 29, 2016

Caps has issued an apology via TwitLonger, saying that he regrets what he did and he let his ego get the better of him.

"I hurt other people and I understand that this is not acceptable," Caps said in his TwitLonger. "Something I didn't realise before joining Fnatic is that being a pro player is more than just performing in-game. I need to also be a good person and set an example to others too."

Fnatic have stated that they will keep close watch of his solo queue behavior and have threatened "severe consequences" if the issues arise again.

"He has a lot to learn when it comes to handling his emotions," Fnatic said in the Reddit thread. "However, we are confident that together we can get him to a place where he can be that role model that professional players need to be."
