Playing career

2018 season

During the 2018 EU LCS Season, Caps managed to win both the Spring and Summer Split with his then team, Fnatic. In both splits, he secured a spot on the 1st All-Pro Team. Additionally, he managed to win the title of most valuable player (MVP) in the Summer Split.

At the 2018 World Championship, Fnatic was seeded into Group D alongside 100 Thieves, Invictus Gaming, and G-Rex. They picked up five wins in the group, allowing them to advance into the knockout stage of the tournament. In the quarterfinals, Fnatic defeated EDward Gaming by 3-1. Caps's performance on Azir and LeBlanc helped Fnatic win the semifinals against Cloud9 without losing a single game.^[2] After this they were swept 3-0 in the world final by their group rival Invictus Gaming.

2019 Season

Ahead of the 2019 season, Caps left Fnatic to join rival European organisation G2 Esports. G2 Esports dominated the Spring split in the newly rebranded League of Legends European Championsship, going 13-5 during the regular season, with Caps winning MVP of the split. In combination with his MVP win during the 2018 EU LCS Summer Split, Caps became the first player ever to win back-to-back MVP titles on two different teams. G2 did not drop a single game in the playoffs, making them the first-ever winners of an LEC Split and granting them an immediate invite to the 2019 Mid Season Invitational.

At the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational, G2 Esports defeated Team Liquid 3-0 in the finals as Caps was rewarded with the MVP of MSI 2019. Thi[s marked the first time a European team had won an international Tournament run by Riot Games since Fnatic had won the Season 1 World Championship, and the first time ever a non-asian team had won MSI.

In the League of Legends European Summer Split 2019 the current MSI 2019 champions returned to dominate the Summer Split all the way to the end. Caps and G2 beat his old team Fnatic 3-2 in a best of five. This gave G2 eSports the first seed to represent Europe in the League of Legends Worlds Championship 2019. There, the team managed to go to the finals against FunPlus Phoenix, but was defeated 3-0, with Caps's Pyke and Veigar picks rendered ineffective. This made Caps the first player to ever lose two Worlds Finals in a row.
