Sylas Comes to Wild Rift, and Caps Gives It Two Thumbs Up

OFFICIAL Written by GPN · Nov 8, 2026, 6:12 PM ET · League of Legends: Wild Rift · Gaming

Riot has released a new champion trailer for League of Legends: Wild Rift, and it is built around two thumbs, one mage, and one of the most famous mid laners in the game.

The trailer, called Thumbs Up, arrived on November 7, 2026, and introduces Sylas to Wild Rift. Sylas is the unchained mage who turns enemy ultimates against their owners, and the trailer presents him as the next champion to make the jump to the mobile version of League of Legends.

The star is Rasmus "Caps" Winther, the G2 mid laner. The trailer plays on his career on PC, where he has spent fifteen years playing with eight fingers, from 2011 to 2026. Now, the video jokes, his two thumbs owe Wild Rift some good memories too.

Caps is shown in a series of close-ups, counting off his fingers and then holding up his thumbs, while Sylas waits for his turn on stage. The message is simple: every good mage needs a stage, and Sylas is about to get his on mobile.

A separate champion overview for Sylas was also released for Wild Rift, giving players a first look at his gameplay. The trailer itself runs for two minutes and eight seconds, and it points players to the Wild Rift site for more.
