LEC legend returns to top of LoL’s solo queue mountain just in time for MSI 2023

With just over a week until the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational kicks off, G2 mid laner Caps appears to be in peak form—at least on the solo queue ladder. Shortly after G2 was knocked out of the LEC playoffs earlier this week, Caps ascended to rank one in solo queue on April 23 with a total of 1,853 LP in Challenger tier, according to League stats site op.gg.

This season, Caps’ solo queue win rate has steadily hovered above the 50 percent threshold, although in recent days, he’s put up a mesmerizing stretch of games that’s propelled him to the top of the ladder. Caps has won 31 of his last 40 solo queue games, including a run earlier in the week that saw him win 15 of 16. Currently, Caps is riding an eight-game winning streak.
