Golden Guardians mid laner Nick "Ablazeolive" Abbott spoke to Inven Global after the win about how his team was able to dismantle Evil Geniuses, the mad dash to the 2022 LCS Spring Playoffs, and leading the league amongst LCS mid laners in two very different statistics.
Pridestalker established himself as one of the best ERL junglers throughout 2021, nothing could have prepared him for how his negotiations with Golden Guardians began.

After defeating Dignitas, Licorice spoke to Inven Global about Golden Guardians debuting post-rework Tahm Kench in the LCS, the team's current power level relative to its competition, and how his experiences on FlyQuest are contributing to his recent success.
"One day I woke up on FlyQuest and I had no plans of moving," Licorice told Inven Global the evening after his transfer. "The next day, I woke up and went to scrim at the Golden Guardians office."
AD Carry Victor "FBI" Huang spoke to Inven Global's Nick Geracie after Golden Guardians' last game in the Summer Split to discuss the team's improvements, both as individuals and as a unit, and look towards the post-season.
Golden Guardians' win over Evil Geniuses in week 5 of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split was far from perfect from other side, but featured the best individual performance of the split thus far. GG Jungler Can "Closer" Çelik hard-carried on Lee Sin to an incredible 12/3/11 KDA. After the match, Closer spoke to Inven Global's Nick Geracie about Lee Sin's place in the meta and the changes in his LCS experience from spring to summer.
Golden Guardians Jungler Can "Closer" Çelik's 12/3/11 Lee Sin performance was the hardest carry game of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split thus far. Despite Golden Guardians losing to Team Liquid after the impressive win over Evil Geniuses, Closer still managed to put up 71.66 fantasy points, the most of any player in week 5 of the Esports One Inven Global Fantasy League of Legends league.
Golden Guardians Mid Laner Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer and Support Yuri "Keith" Jew joined Inven Global's Parkes Ousley to discuss re-uniting on a new organization, the unique forms of pressure on both players, and had some words their former jungler, Cloud9's Robert "Blaber" Huang.
