Bald Caps on turning around G2\u2019s LEC season: \u201cSomething had to change\u201d Riot GamesBefore G2\u2019s July 9 match against Astralis, star mid-laner Rasmus \u2018Caps\u2019 Winther revealed a shaved head on the LEC stage in an attempt to turn around their disappointing Summer performance. G2\u2019s League of Legends roster has not had a great Summer split thus far. Heading into their July 9 match, they sported a 4-5 record so far, well below the team\u2019s expectations. G2 is typically a team at the top of the LEC standings, as they have won four of the previous five LEC titles. With their team in need of some good luck, Caps decided to take fate into his own hands. Caps made a bold move by showing up to their game with a completely shaved head, to the shock of many viewers. Caps reveals decision into shaving head Against Astralis Caps locked in Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress, one of League\u2019s newest champions, who uses an enormous scissor to dice up enemies. Caps drastic decision ended up working out for his team as G2 defeated Astralis, finishing the game with a 10k gold lead. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j6k5hCGb2qc In the post-game interview, Caps gave his reasoning for chopping his hair off. \u201cWe were losing a lot of games. It felt like something had to change. So I guess the hair was it, this time.\u201d He continued, \u201cIt also has some added benefits. I actually cut it myself, most of it, with a scissor which obviously helps when you\u2019re going on stage playing Gwen, that you\u2019re more comfortable with the scissors.\u201d Caps\u2019 strategy clearly worked, as he was given the player of the game award. Caps is also the only mid laner in the LEC to play Gwen so far, and he explained why saying \u201cGwen is one of the new champs, and going into this season I really wanted to play Gwen and Viego because new champs are a lot of fun\u2026 I\u2019ve been spamming them in solo queue. Yeah, new champs are just always fun. They\u2019re also usually pretty strong. I\u2019m just happy that we can finally find success with it\u201d. In regards to G2\u2019s desperate need to turn the season around, Caps said \u201cGoing 0-4 was not something we\u2019d expect going into the split. Once we went 0-4 we realized we have to step it up because we\u2019re at the risk of missing out on playoffs\u2026 We really gave it 100% and I\u2019m really happy with everyone\u2019s effort throughout the week. We really came together to try and bounce back.\u201d So far, Caps\u2019 decision has worked, as G2 are positioned to fight back into a playoff seed for the Summer split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
