Aw his mom is such an angel. What a great supportive parent.

[@Honda]

She's certainly his biggest fan!

[@CrosbyGoinDown]

Bigger guns than me 😂

[@CrosbyGoinDown]

@Sean Avery too much work

[@michalbazant8634]

Never forget the semifinals 2018 C9 TSM when she cried after C9 with GG won and how she got all the fans on her side like nothing. Such a great narrative.

[@jonmartinez3482]

His mom is so proud of him. Love to see parents like that. She's all in with him.

[@joelhunt541]

Went to high school with this dude, played side by side with him on the football team, supported him then. Now I live in San Diego and still get to go support him. Thanks for being a good friend and keeping in touch brother. Much love.

He went to my high school lmao

that was dope! good stuff GG

[@pengunns9688]

GoldenMom is just so cute, i dont wanna cry

[@ArJayDM]

Actually the GOAT

[@naskokarapachov7234]

He is doing pretty good on GG atm. I am happy to see him play like an actual lcs player and i wish him the best of luck

[@higglyjuff]

Exactly this. It wasn't just that Piglet replaced him in mid on TL, Piglet was a massive upgrade at the time. Goldenglue has always been someone with drive that couldn't play well on stage, and now that he's finally performing at an okay level, I am really happy for him.

[@remildejesus]

You can really feel his DRIVE to improve!

[@Honda]

We see what you did there, Emilio 😎

[@Amerplaygames]

What the hell

[@Straxus]

IMO this is less about Goldenglue as a player and more about the LCS as a whole. No teams actively look at raising a domestic midlaner, so we get these teams signing middle-tier EU mids who just come in for the paychecks and leave after a couple 6-10th place finishes. LCS should limit import slots to 1 and then make the academy 100% domestic. Relying on imports is killing the region, and has created a massive gap between even EU and NA. Atm, there is a single LCS midlaner who is from NA, and that's GoldeGlue. Props to him for making it in a role where the league as a whole has stacked the odds against him.

[@RedMage97]

i don't personally agree on the import changes but this is an underrated comment. I too felt like the struggles had more to do than just goldenglue improvement

[@user-tg3jl1mt4e]

Pobelter is NA

[@SkatePossy]

love how they talk about him being basically a backup tight end to a literal pro football player

[@GinkgoPete]

Honestly really impressive.

[@keexko]

Greyson's character was molded by all the people around him... Thank you for this story. Keep going Goldenglue.

[@MrHappyfacee]

Dam this was really well made. Goldenglue and GGS has got a new fan for sure! love learning about the players behind the teams

[@joeyprzybilla2081]

when the music started playing at like 13:50 dust suddenly appeared in my room making me tear up

[@AlexSeraia]

I know that feel bro...

[@proteuswest1084]

Even though I wish he was still on C9, I am so happy that Goldenglue got a chance to start for another team. I hope C9 wins the split, but I definitely know who I want to come in second.

[@ArJayDM]

Good for Goldenglue, I admit as a 3rd party person, who has NEVER been a fan of a team goldenglue has been on, not cause of him just cause that's how things played out; I've always seen him as trash or someone who just didn't work hard enough. Obviously all of this was unwarranted and this shows how much passion he really has, I hope he doesnt give up. I'm a fan.

[@miker7032]

These Drive videos are some of the best league related content that's out. These videos always make me fall in love with the featured player.

[@tylersamuels4438]

This Drive was incredible. You know it's good when by the end you want the guy to win finals

[@jamithornton4451]

Greyson is awesome and is exactly where he should be. His mom, Julie is beautiful as well as a great mom and supporter.

[@Obosii]

Excellent mini doc. The LEC production team is the best at so many things but this is where the LCS team shines.

[@Zurthon2]

Suddenly a goldenglue fan...

[@EE-ig5uo]

Wayne Clark exactly why thoorin said you should always do a drive episode if they ask. The worst players can get fans for years, Matt still has fans and people defending him from his drive episode.

[@Avvura]

C9 Really saved his career and image. I think they managed him well. Supported him and allowed him to start on an LCS roster after.

[@Flynmom1]

Avvura I am very, very grateful for Jack! 💙

[@gwenmh]

I loved GG on C9! As long as he wants to play, it will never be his last shot. He's shown so much improvement in the last couple of years and seems like one of the sweetest guys on the scene, he just needs the right environment to flourish in!

[@TobiDaJoker]

Goldenglue is the definition of humble perseverance, so much respect to him

[@oakleydoeseverything6438]

I watched GGs play in week two? They interview golden glue and another players mother's and since that moment I have been cheering for the golden guardians. Best of luck guys!

GOOOOO GOLDEN GUARDIANS! best episode of DRIVE yet by a margin

[@adcast98]

My favorite player love how he just keeps coming back no matter what

[@ethanmcroy]

Yesssssss. My favorite player. Had my eyes on him since he was on T8. When his career looked to be at its lowest. When giving up would have been the easy road, he chose double down and chase his goal.

[@rokentom3926]

Let me say I have nothing but respect for this man. Met him briefly in St. Louis nicest guy imaginable. The definition of a team player.

[@diestar1]

Last 2 years have been hands down the best of GG's career. He's really looked good. Hope he can keep it up and continue to be competitive.

[@llewellynlittlemore3052]

Goldenglue is such a player you wanna see win, I want this guy to hold the summoner cup man

[@ThatsnotfunnyTS]

Okay. I'm cheering for GG now. I really want GoldenGlue to make it to spring finals in his home state!

didn't know GG went through this much i knew he bounced from team to team but wow he went through so much

I hope this video gets more views. And I hope Golden Glue has continued success. He deserves it.

[@emiljohannsen1200]

I just really wanna see Goldenglue win LCS after this.

[@stefanandrews5098]

Honestly, anyone willing to go through that BS of getting benched over and over and then finally kinda popping off in FINALS LAST GAME just to get overlooked again? That’s where more than 99% of people just call it. Anyone willing to work that hard for basically no progress? They’re worth a shot, tbh.

[@CanadianSlasher]

wow steve told goldenglue that POGCHAMP WTF that's dissgusting

[@muukun4053]

Cody Greenly right after yesterday how people were praising Steve how he benched his best player or biggest name in his team this shit pops up KEKW

[@Jabberwocky887]

Steve says a lot of horrible things. Reason I hate TL as a team is because of him.

[@EE-ig5uo]

Yeah Steve was honest and it’s true.

[@ImmortalLegacy]

It’s funny because Doublelift said a similar thing to Steve when they were on the same team LOL

[@KaycCal]

a man of dedication, is a man i can respect.

[@tudor-catalinandone384]

Heard he just got benched again, in favour of Damonte...hope he at least gets to play in Academy

[@angelotan2692]

yah, he is on gg academy as mid laner

[@jdomed0880]

3rd time watching this, and I’m still crying. Amazing episode

[@luismanrique5540]

Dude what a great video! stuff like this reminds you that this guys are humans, the made sacrifices to go and play in the LCS for us to watch, I been watching LCS for a long time now, and I always look GoldenGlue like this player who reach his final limit or power of play, but knowing his background, dude! I really want cheer for him to go play in his hometown! Keep doing more Drive videos, if you like to introduce people to watch LCS you can show them this video, for they empathize with the players more!

[@drake8thecake462]

Incredibly well made. Love how they tied all parts of the story together. Come on goldenglue we're rooting for you out here!!

[@liquetwitch6848]

Still don’t belive Steve112 would straight up said someone that he isn’t good enough and that he should quit... Glad to see him get a starting spot.. Dude earned it for sure

Okay this just made me not only a fan of golden glue but also golden guardians

[@EM-lk7jw]

Goldenglue has had a rough career being moved around soo much. I was soo happy when I heard he was a starter on GG. Hoping they can make it to finals!

[@andrewc.santacruz9534]

Im now i huge Golden Glue supporter! Such a well made video, really connects us to his life story.

[@Risko907]

This, this has been the best piece of LoL esports content put out in a while.

[@benjaminp2776]

He just seems like such a good human being and I'm glad he's finally getting a real chance. This was awesome. With Keith, no less, who's got his own redemption arc. I hope GGS gets that 5th/6th seed.

[@EE-ig5uo]

Mindstate they benched Keith...

[@Kyreumoon]

Love seeing stories like Goldenglue where you're not given much to work with, but you make it happen. Super happy to see him on the LCS and see him performing pretty well. Wish to see more backstory content like this!

[@zlogzz]

Insane respect for him. What a story, too.

[@WallaceLH]

goldenglue's success story in the making

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΤσιανής-β8ω]

Great piece of content, maybe goldenglue doesnt have the high ceiling that other midlaners do but his work ethic and motivation is for sure at the top and with that attitude you can achieve many things..

[@jasoncuellar8737]

MAD respect for NA midlaners

[@LikeACrouton]

It's by far the best drive video. I hope you get where you're going, swole bro. For both you and swole mom's sake.

[@griffintubridy8443]

I want a GGS vs C9 final in Dallas that would be so hype. Best of luck Goldenglue, the only direction is up

[@colinmartucci6369]

This the best dive they have ever done

[@vmonkey728]

This is amazing

[@abrahamlara4594]

Since Team Ember, Goldenglue is one of those proplayers, with the proper teamates, coaching and positive attitude, be a champion. After C9 run, he finally get his starter spot; even I support C9, I really want GG to be in the big scenario (LCS Finals or MSI or Worlds) and show to the universe, what he is made of. Keep strong Greyson Gregory "Goldenglue" Gilmer of Golden Guardians. 💪💪💪

[@user-tg3jl1mt4e]

No, he wouldn't, outside of getting carried he wouldn't win a championship. He definitely has the passion, just lacks the talent needed to be championship level. He is definitely LCS caliber, but that isn't saying much when LCS is the weakest league and 8/10 of the midlane slots are imports.

[@astherushcomes13]

All the best for Greyson, such a nice guy!

[@trumpetperson11]

Steve told him not to be a pro... Of course, he was too busy shelling out money to anyone who would take it.

[@royhullegie]

Its called doing bussiness

[@synkymin9769]

But that has only led to 2 straight years of not making it to the group stages of worlds. Doing “business” and getting imports instead of developing talent from within is what makes NA dogshit region compared to every other big regions.

[@Mohamed-Dirar]

@@synkymin9769 Yo, hate to disagree but a player like goldenglue,damonte ect. already have been given chances and their mechianics and talent are no way near the level of korean/european players. We do have good players and every rookie should be given a shot but goldenglue and damoate ceiling is not high enough for it to be worth developing them rather than getting a already established player or getting another rookie. I'm hate to say it but not every guy that plays football no matter the hours they put in will be a messi/ronaldo.

[@synkymin9769]

Mohamed Dirar but the thing is look at Europe Humanoid, (Illuminati Gaming) Caps (Dark Passage) and Nemesis (MAD Lions EC) all came from within Europe. Because of Europe’s fast growing amateur and semi pro league, domestic players can develop their skills and showcase them. The closest thing to this is Academy and Tyler1 championship, while EU has the Spanish league, the Turkish league, and many more. I’m not saying that importing is necessarily a bad thing, but if you want to look towards winning an international tournament importing isn’t the way to go. Look at Fnatic rn, Broxah left they could’ve just imported a korean player but they chose Selfmade and he’s been really solid so far.

[@user-tg3jl1mt4e]

@@synkymin9769 Most of the money in Esports comes from brand, winning 2 straight years of LCS plus going to finals at MSI is good for the TL brand.

Goldenglue with the Naruto story, keep going man

[@onetoxicboi6346]

How is he like naruto? Naruto is basically a reicarnation of a god who had hos destiny layed out for him. He was born from a king and a the heir of a powerful clan. He got an op demon inside of him which gies him immeasurable power and chakra. He got favouritism from him teachers and hokage. Goldenglue is more like Gai sensei, worked his entire life and never gave up but in the end still couldn't do anything vs natural talent
