Rasmus “﻿Caps﻿” Winther has been named the most valuable player of the League of Legends European Championship’s 2019 Spring Split, per an announcement by Riot Games this morning. This is the Danish player’s second consecutive LEC MVP award, after his flashy play earned him the MVP title for the league’s Summer Split last year.









After a two-year stint as Fnatic’s mid laner, Caps moved to G2 Esports last November, feeling the change of scenery would help him bring his career to the next level.

“I basically just joined G2 because I think I fit better in here,” Caps told The Shotcaller in a January interview. “What we’re playing right now is kind of what I want to play, but I knew that we couldn’t have had this in Fnatic.”





Caps’ decision paid off in spades. Alongside a stacked squad featuring players such as Martin “Wunder” Hansen and Luka “Perkz” Perkovic, Caps led G2 to the LEC’s top position going into this year’s Spring Playoffs. After a clean sweep over Origen in Round Two, G2 is sitting pretty on one side of this weekend’s final.





Caps’ MVP status is backed by the numbers. He scored more kills than any other player in the LEC this season and was named “Player of the Game” six times. But on Sunday, Caps will join G2 in their quest for the split’s biggest honor of all: The first-place trophy.
