League of Legends PBE Leak Appears to Confirm Caps as Next Hall of Legends Star

[COSMIN]

A new League of Legends Hall of Legends leak appears to have revealed the identity of Riot Games’ third inductee ahead of schedule. According to information spotted on the PBE, G2 Esports mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther is expected to join the Hall of Legends, with Tristana reportedly receiving his signature high-tier skin.

Riot has not officially confirmed Caps or Tristana yet. The company previously announced that the next Hall of Legends player will officially be revealed on August 17, 2026.

In brief

• Caps is reportedly the third League of Legends Hall of Legends inductee.
• Tristana has reportedly been selected for Caps’ premium Hall of Legends skin.
• The information appears to have leaked through an early PBE update.
• Patch 26.18 is officially scheduled for September 10, 2026.

If the PBE leak is accurate, Caps will become only the third professional player inducted into League of Legends’ Hall of Legends.

Riot introduced the program with Faker as its first inductee in 2024, followed by legendary LPL ADC Uzi in 2025. Riot describes the Hall of Legends as a way to recognize professional players who have made a lasting impact on League of Legends esports.

Caps would also become the first European player to receive the honor. The choice is hardly surprising considering his career. Caps won MSI 2019 with G2 Esports and became the first Western player to reach back-to-back World Championship finals, doing so with Fnatic in 2018 and G2 in 2019.

The more unexpected part of the leak is Tristana. LeagueOfLeaks reports that Tristana has been chosen for the Transcendent skin tied to Caps, while SkinSpotlights identified the leaked cosmetic as an Immortalized Legend Tristana skin after Hall of Legends 2026 assets seemingly appeared early on the PBE.

Full details about the skin, additional cosmetics, pricing, and the Hall of Legends event have not yet been officially revealed.

Caps Hall of Legends Skin Release Date

The leaked Caps Hall of Legends content is expected to arrive with League of Legends Patch 26.18 on September 10, 2026. Riot’s official 2026 patch schedule confirms that Patch 26.18 is set to launch on that date.

With Riot’s official Hall of Legends reveal scheduled for August 17, players should not have to wait much longer for confirmation of Caps and his Tristana skin.
