According to a report by ESPN’s Jacob Wolf, the team is set to acquire Fnatic’s star midlaner Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther, while G2’s own star mid, Luka ‘Perkz’ Perković, would role-swap to AD Carry.
Both players have arguably been the top-performing mid-laners of the last several years, each a star player within championship-winning teams.
Caps was considered by many to be the best mid-laner in Europe this season, winning playoffs MVP in Summer and being placed at 9
on the 2018 Worlds Top 20, the second-highest ranked mid-laner in the tournament.
