In League of Legends the best player from the West, the Dane Rasmus “Caps” Winther (24), had a standout day in LoL. He eliminated a team from the overwhelmingly powerful rival China at MSI 2024 with G2. Caps made some bold statements and has a chance to prove himself. Because today, on May 17th, the final boss awaits him: Faker and T1 play against G2 on May 17th for everything or nothing.
Which game did G2 win? G2 managed to eliminate one of the 4 overwhelmingly strong teams from the East at MSI 2024:
- Caps and his team clearly defeated TES, Top Esports, the second-best team from China, with 3-0
- Top Esports features professionals, real LoL stars like 369, Tian and JackeyLove – but this time it wasn’t enough
After all other teams from the West have now been eliminated, G2 is the last representative of Europe. Alongside them are 2 teams from South Korea (the neighboring Gen G. with Chovy and T1) and one team from China, BLG with Xun and Knight.
He waits for Caps tomorrow:
Standout Day for Caps: G2 Outsmarts Team from China
How well did Caps play? Caps is seen by experts as one of the crucial players on his team. The previously heavily criticized bot laner Hans Sama won the MVP award of the game.
This particular play is considered a perfect example of Caps’ strong performance:
Caps Says: No More Excuses
What Caps said: After his victory against the team from China, Caps was inspired to some clear words in an interview with Dexerto . He says:
“I think the effort I put in every day determines how well I play. And if I win Worlds? Then it’s just because of me. When people say things like ‘Oh, we’re from Europe’ or ‘Oh, I’m too old’, those are just excuses.
He speaks highly of his teammates in the interview: Hans Sama has proven that he is the best Draven, better than Jackeylove. His top laner Broken Blade played fantastically in Game 3.
At G2, he now finally has a team that goes all in and gives everything.
Caps says there are still big mountains to climb. Gen G. and BLG are very strong. If you want to have a chance against them, you have to improve even further.
How is this being discussed? Although Caps is seen by many as the best player in the West, this is regarded as a bold statement. It is believed to be a challenge against players in the West who are belittling themselves.
Faker and T1 Await Caps Today
When can he prove it? Today, on Friday, May 17th, T1 and Faker await G2 in the rematch.
This is for everything: Whoever wins will be in the semifinals against the Chinese team BLG. Whoever loses goes home.
The last match against G2 ended with a narrow defeat for Caps. The top laner of T1 showed shockingly little respect for the best team in Europe: LoL: 20-Year-Old Shows No Respect for the Best Team Europe Has to Offer
