Fnatic Confirms Departure Of Caps, Possibly To G2 Esports

One of the stalwart players for Fnatic has now confirmed his leaving, with mid-laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther officially being released from the team. The news comes after an extremely successful year for Fnatic, that saw them claim both the Summer and Spring split championships in the EU LCS, as well as advance to the Grand Finals of the 2018 World Championships.

“If I had not joined Fnatic, I would probably not be here today - for that I will always be grateful. Through multiple iterations in staff and players to get there, we had two incredible years,” Wrote Caps in his statement. “I am very confident that I would have loved staying at Fnatic for the rest of my career. But I have made the decision to move because I want to make the very most out of life and, right now, I see myself doing that elsewhere. Nonetheless, I know Fnatic will perform well in the years to come and I personally hope this could be the beginning of an even better performance from LEC internationally.”

While it has not yet been announced where Caps will end up, rumors have been circulating for some time that he might make the leap to rival team G2 Esports, a rumor that had even more weight put behind it when Sam Mathews, owner of Fnatic, seemed to tweet that Caps would be joining the roster. The Tweet, which was quickly deleted, read “Thank you (Caps), you were incredible in the Black and orange. I’m sad your run here has ended prematurely, our door is always open. I hope G2 treats you the way you deserve. GLHF! See you on the rift. See you in the crowd (Caps father)!”

It seems that all fans need to do now is wait for confirmation from G2 Esports, for what could end up being one of the biggest moves in the LEC rostermania.
