Caps was back in Copenhagen on August 29 to celebrate his Hall of Legends induction with the Danish League of Legends community.
The new mural took centre stage at Amerikavej 20, with Caps there for the ribbon cutting and to meet the fans who had come out. The event also featured a few speeches and a competition with League of Legends prizes.
Caps returns home for Hall of Legends celebration
The centrepiece of the event was a large mural of Caps painted on the side of a building in Copenhagen. The mural was created to mark his place in the Hall of Legends, following his induction as the first Western player to receive the honour.
Caps took part in the ribbon cutting for the mural, officially marking the celebration in Copenhagen.
The speech also touched on what Caps' achievement means beyond League of Legends. The speaker spoke about the importance of celebrating Danish athletes who reach the highest level, while pointing out how esports brings people together and can even lead to real careers.
Caps thanks fans for celebrating with him
Caps also took the microphone during the event, thanking everyone who had turned up to celebrate with him.
For Caps, seeing a giant mural of himself on a Copenhagen building was a pretty special sight. He said it was amazing to have the achievement celebrated like this, although the mural will be taken down within a few months.
Fans could also win League of Legends prizes
The celebration also featured a competition for attendees, with prizes including the League of Legends Risen Collection with the new Tristana skin and a Hall of Legends Pass.
That added another connection between the event and the game itself, giving fans something to take away from a day that was primarily about celebrating Caps and his career.
Why Caps' induction matters for European esports
Caps' Hall of Legends induction is a major moment for European League of Legends. The Danish mid laner has spent much of his career at the top of the European scene and has become one of the most recognisable players in the region.
The Hall of Legends was created by Riot Games to honour players who have made a lasting impact on League of Legends esports. Caps' induction puts a European name alongside some of the game's most influential players.
For Denmark in particular, the Copenhagen event offered a more personal way to mark the achievement. Rather than being another ceremony on a tournament stage, it brought Caps back to his home country and gave local fans the opportunity to celebrate with him.
The original Hall of Legends induction took place in Berlin, where Caps was officially honoured. Footage from that ceremony shows the moment and some of the tributes made to him.
The Copenhagen celebration came afterwards, giving fans in Denmark their own chance to mark the achievement with Caps.
