What are Caps' League of Legends settings in 2026?

As of September 2026, Caps plays League of Legends at 3200 DPI with the client's mouse-speed and camera-move sliders both at 50, at 1920×1080, on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight with a G Pro X keyboard and a G640 mousepad. The 3200 DPI is the highest of any mid laner on the Worlds 2026 roster — a pointer speed built for a playstyle that is constantly checking the map and roaming rather than sitting on a wave.

Caps is the most decorated player in European League of Legends history. He reached the Worlds final with Fnatic in 2018, moved to G2 in 2019 and won MSI that year — scoring the region's first Riot international title since 2011 — then reached a second consecutive Worlds final. He has since accumulated 17 LEC titles, 7 LEC Finals MVPs and 11 First All-Pro selections, and in August 2026 became the third player ever inducted into Riot's Hall of Legends.

2019
The move to G2, MSI, and a second final
He left the reigning European champion for G2, with Perkz moving to bot lane to make room. G2 won MSI 2019 — eliminating T1 in a five-game semifinal and sweeping Team Liquid in the final, with Caps named tournament MVP — then reached the Worlds final, losing 0-3 to FunPlus Phoenix. He became the first player to appear in consecutive Worlds finals with two different organisations.
2020-2025
Domestic dominance and the long wait
The titles kept coming — LEC Winter, Spring, Summer and Season Finals across multiple years, plus 7 Finals MVP awards — while the international runs stopped reaching finals. His 2024 Season Finals MVP came with a public note of humility: asked whether he was the best AD carry in the West, he said he still had more to prove.
2026
The Hall of Legends, and another Worlds
G2 won the 2026 LEC Summer title 3-0 over Movistar KOI, taking Caps to 17 domestic championships. On 18 August 2026 Riot inducted him into the Hall of Legends as the third inductee after Faker and Uzi — and the first from the Western professional scene. G2 qualified for Worlds 2026 as Europe's first seed.

How Caps plays

Caps plays mid lane as a roaming threat rather than a lane to be held — leaving lane early, testing narrow timings and picking champions nobody prepared for, then making the map react. The 2019 G2 side was the fullest expression of it: MSI was won by eliminating T1 in five games and sweeping the final, and the Worlds run ended in Paris one series short of a Grand Slam. The trade-off has never changed — the same appetite for risk that produces his best games also produces the games where it overreaches.

Signature — LeBlanc
His most-identified champion. Caps has repeatedly said how much he likes her, including publicly wishing she would appear as a character in Arcane. She is the purest carrier of his roaming, pick-oriented style.
Signature — Orianna
The control-mage opposite. It gives G2 the option of drafting Caps into a stable, team-fight-focused plan without losing his ability to start something.
Signature — Aurelion Sol
A pick he returned to across multiple years, including a pentakill on the champion in 2024. It represents the part of his pool that most mid laners never practise.
The Claps and Craps duality
The community's two nicknames describe the same instinct from opposite ends: leaving lane early and forcing a narrow timing either produces a game-winning play or a game-losing one. Caps has never tried to sand that down, and the analysts who rate him highest rate him because of it.
Role flexibility
He has played bot lane at points in his G2 career to accommodate roster moves, before switching back to mid. That willingness is why G2 could draft around player strengths rather than around fixed roles.
“I wouldn't say that I am the best. I still have to prove more, and I really put a lot of effort into making myself stronger.”

How Caps compares

The comparison that defines Caps' legacy is against the two players inducted into the Hall of Legends before him — and against the Western contemporaries who never reached his level.

Caps has no Worlds title while Faker has six and Chovy has six LCK crowns — but neither has 17 domestic titles in a single league, and only Caps changed what a Western team believed was possible internationally.

How to play like Caps

Caps' advice, and the through-line of his career, is about building creativity as a training habit rather than a talent.

Leave lane early on purpose
His core habit is the early roam onto a narrow timing. Practise identifying the window before the wave resolves, not after — the play only works if it arrives early.
Keep one champion nobody prepared for
His pool has always included picks outside the meta. Even one such champion changes what the opponent can ban against you.
Accept the bad games as the cost
The same instinct produces 17 titles and the occasional throw. Trying to remove the risk removes the advantage that produced the titles.
Practise roles that are not yours
He has played bot lane at the professional level. Being able to fill a role temporarily is what lets a team take a signing it would otherwise refuse.

  • The 2019 MSI title was the first international Riot tournament a European team had won since Fnatic's Season 1 World Championship.
  • He was the first player ever to win back-to-back regular-season MVP awards on two different teams, taking the 2018 EU LCS Summer MVP with Fnatic and the 2019 LEC Spring MVP with G2.
  • The community's two nicknames for him — 'Claps' and 'Craps' — describe the same willingness to take risks from opposite outcomes.
  • He has recorded eight career pentakills, including one on Aurelion Sol at MSI 2019 and five more in the LEC across 2020 to 2026.
  • On 18 August 2026 he became the third player inducted into Riot's Hall of Legends, after Faker and Uzi, and the first from the Western professional scene.
  • He has played 76 different champions across his professional career, and LeBlanc remains the pick he is most identified with.
  • Despite being the most decorated player in European history, he was left out of France's 2026 Esports Nations Cup roster — the coach selected Caliste instead.

Frequently asked questions

7 answers
Career5
Why is Caps called the greatest Western player ever?Career

Because no other player from the West has sustained this level for this long. He has won 17 LEC titles — more than anyone — plus MSI 2019 with G2, the first international Riot title a European team had won since Season 1. He also reached consecutive Worlds finals with two different organisations (Fnatic 2018, G2 2019), which no one had done before. On 18 August 2026 Riot inducted him into the Hall of Legends, making him the third inductee after Faker and Uzi and the first from the Western professional scene.

Why do fans call him "Claps" and "Craps"?Career

Because his best and worst games come from the same instinct. Caps plays with a willingness to take risks that a conventional mid laner would not — roaming early, forcing narrow timings, picking champions nobody prepared for. When it lands, the community calls him 'Claps'; when it backfires, 'Craps'. The volatile nickname pair is part of the player's identity, and the team-mates and analysts who rate him highest tend to rate him because of that appetite, not despite it.

What are Caps' other nicknames?Career

Three that stuck at different points: 'Baby Faker', from the early Fnatic years when his ceiling drew the comparison; 'King of Europe', for the domestic record; and 'Demon Killer', for his record against Asian teams in best-of-fives — most famously the MSI 2019 semifinal where G2 eliminated T1 in five games on the way to the title.

Has Caps ever won Worlds?Career

No — and he got closer than any Western mid laner of his era. He lost the 2018 final with Fnatic (0-3 to Invictus Gaming) and the 2019 final with G2 (0-3 to FunPlus Phoenix). Missing the title is the one blank on a résumé that otherwise contains 17 domestic crowns, an MSI title and an MSI finals MVP award.

Why does everyone joke about Caps going bald?Career

It is one of the most-searched questions about him, driven by the LEC broadcast cameras and community clips rather than anything he has said. Caps has handled it the way he handles most community jokes — by ignoring it and continuing to win domestic titles. The meme is not a formality of his career; it sits alongside the 'Claps/Craps' nicknames as the fandom's affectionate shorthand.

Settings1
What mouse does Caps use?Settings

He plays on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight (black) with a Logitech G Pro X keyboard, a Logitech G640 mousepad and an AOC AG251FZ2E monitor. His published client values are 3200 DPI with mouse speed and camera speed both at 50 — the highest DPI of any mid laner on the Worlds 2026 roster.
