G2 Caps
Rasmus “Caps” Winther continues to wow the audience as he whips out exciting pick after exciting pick and dominating lane opponents. In Week 4 it was Renekton and Talon, securing Player of the Game awards in both games and wins for G2 Esports.

Not only do G2 look on course to challenge at the 2019 World Championship, Caps will undoubtedly be one of the most highly anticipated players going into the tournament and will certainly be aiming to reclaim the LEC trophy in the Summer Split. If he continues the sort of form he showed on Talon against Misfits Gaming on Saturday, then there’s no doubt that he could lead G2 Esports to glory this year.

OG Nukeduck
The man with an endless champion pool has only managed a meagre six champions in his eight games so far. Despite claims that 2019 is Year of the Duck 2: Electric Boogaloo, Origen need to step up their game if Erlend “Nukeduck” Våtevik Holm has any chance of carrying his team to either domestic or international success this year.

Week 4 didn’t quite go to plan for Nukeduck and his team; a struggle with Excel Esports followed by a disappointing collapse in front of Rogue left Origen dangling dangerously above the bottom half of the LEC standings with just four wins to their name after eight games. If they want to reclaim their place in the playoff final, then there’s a lot of work to do in the final five weeks of the split.
