One spot in the post-season remains, and throughout the final week of the Summer Split, FlyQuest, Golden Guardians and Counter Logic Gaming will fight for a chance to extend their respective seasons beyond this Sunday.
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.
