Caps Becomes First Western Player Inducted into League of Legends Hall of Legends

Riot Games has announced Rasmus 'Caps' Winther as the third player inducted into the *League of Legends* Hall of Legends, following Faker in 2024 and Uzi in 2025. This makes Caps the first Western player to earn the prestigious recognition, further solidifying his legacy in the competitive scene. The reveal came earlier than planned due to leaked assets in the *League* Public Beta Environment (PBE), prompting Riot to confirm the news ahead of schedule. ## Hall of Legends Induction and Celebrations Caps will receive his Hall of Legends trophy at a ceremony in Berlin on August 18. His dedicated website will launch on August 24, followed by an in-game event on September 10. The event will feature a pass highlighting key moments from his career, along with a collection of cosmetics tied to his achievements. Previous inductees, Faker and Uzi, had similar passes, offering insight into what players can expect. Riot has also released a trailer announcing Caps' induction, with a full Hall of Legends film scheduled for September 10. The film will explore his career and his impact on European *League of Legends*, where he has been a central figure on many of the region’s strongest international teams over the past decade. ## Selection Process and Rewards To be considered for the Hall of Legends, players must have competed at the Tier 1 level for at least five cumulative years. Riot employees from major regions nominate around 20 eligible players, and an independent panel of 50 esports veterans votes on them based on criteria such as international appearances, regional and international titles, role-specific statistics, and contributions to competitive *League*. Inductees receive a trophy, an in-game event, a pass, and a cosmetic collection. They also share a portion of the revenue generated from Hall of Legends passes and bundles with their current and former teams. Caps now joins Faker and Uzi as the only three players inducted since the Hall of Legends launched in 2024. ## Upcoming Releases and Details While Caps' induction has been confirmed, Riot has not yet revealed the full lineup of skins, bundles, pass rewards, or pricing. More information is expected before the in-game celebration begins on September 10. Additionally, the leak from the PBE suggested that Tristana will receive an Immortalized Legend skin, though Riot has not officially confirmed this detail.
