Wholesome: Fnatic Caps Dad Shows Up To League Of Legends Worlds Interview

Fnatic’s League of Legends team had a great day today, winning four out of their four matchups this morning during the Group stage going into Worlds. But, Fnatic Caps had a little extra wholesome moment during an interview.

Rasmus “Caps” Winther is eighteen years old. At such a young age, he’s already achieved so many notable wins in the past year of playing professionally on Fnatic. No one could be more proud than his own parents. In what is probably one of the nicest moments in esports, Caps’ dad, Michael Winther, showed up to the interview after the second match of the day to show his support.

Before he showed up on camera, the interviewer asked Caps some questions about their plans for Worlds. But first, how is he feeling after their second win (out of four for the day)? “I’m really happy we ended up winning this because it means a lot for the standings. But, we still have a lot of games to go.”

She asked how far Caps thinks Fnatic can go at Worlds. “We really want to go all the way, but we’re going to have to take one game at a time. We’re going to have to beat a lot of very, very strong teams. So, it’s very important that we remain calm and focus on our opponents.”

Then, the camera zooms out as another person enters view. The interviewer giggled and asked him to introduce himself. Donning a Fnatic jersey, he said “Oh,” turning around to show the name on the back that said ‘CAPS.DAD’, “I’m Caps’ dad!”

The interviewer asked him if he had any advice for his son going into the last two matches of the day. “I think right now he already has all the energy,” But still, there’s two matches to go and we don’t know if it’s possible to win the next two. That’s always a risk. So, keep focus.”

He kissed Caps on the cheek, causing the host to giggle in the middle of talking. She asked if Caps’ Dad was planning on coming back to support him for the quarterfinals. “Definitely!” He explained that they just need to take it one step at a time, though, just like Caps iterated early on in the interview.

In one word across the board, fans are calling this "wholesome".

Sometimes watching pros behind the screen of a game, the audience can forget that there are just normal everyday people playing these games. Having Caps’ dad show up was a breath of fresh air for fans that know that he’s generally always supportive of his son and tends to do interviews about his son and being the father of a pro.
