G2 Esports renews Caps contract until 2027

European esports organisation G2 Esports has announced the contract renewal of its star League of Legends player Rasmus ‘Caps‘ Borregaard Winther.

Announced earlier today through a post on social media, the Danish mid-laner will continue to play under the G2 banner until the end of 2027.

Initially contracted until the end of the year, this marks a crucial renewal for G2 and its efforts in the League of Legends scene. According to the Global Contract Database (GCD) by Riot Games, Caps was the only player with a contract running out this year — the remaining four have their contracts until the end of the 2026 season.

Extending the contract of one of the best European talents in the scene shows the organisation’s strong commitment to keeping a competitive roster for years to come. The renewal is also important due to Caps being the face of G2’s League of Legends team.

The Danish mid laner joined G2 back in 2018 after he was picked up from the rival team Fnatic. Storming into the scene as the ‘European Faker’, Caps was known for his impressive laning phase and carry potential.

After a decade of playing competitively, Caps is the most decorated player in the LEC, having won 12 LEC titles with G2 and one international tournament, the Mid-Season Invitational, back in 2019.

Following two strong seasons domestically but bittersweet international results, with two top-16 finishes at the League of Legends World Championship, G2 made key changes to its lineup for the 2025 season.

The organisation replaced veteran support Mihael ‘Mikyx’ Mehle and jungler Martin ‘Yike’ Sundelin with former Team BDS player Labros ‘Labrov’ Papoutsakis and Rudy ‘SkewMond’ Semaan, one of the best rising talents from the tier-two scene.

While still competing at the top of the league, G2 failed to win the opening split (LEC Winter) of the new season, finishing in second place behind French team Karmine Corp. Currently, the team is leading the scoreboard in the LEC 2025 Spring Split with a 2-0 record.

2025 marks a significant year in the history of G2 Esports. This year is the 10th anniversary of the organisation, which has cemented itself as one of the biggest not only in Europe but worldwide. The company recently also completed a seven-figure investment round to enter new esports titles in addition to supporting its existing esports rosters. It looks like Caps was one of the first pieces chosen to lead the organisation into the new decade.
