Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer is a veteran player hailing from Flower Mound, Texas who has played on various Challenger and a few LCS teams before joining Team Liquid this season for the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split. Team Liquid is currently tied in 5th place at the end of Week 3 with a record of 2 - 4 after pulling off a close 2-1 victory over Echo Fox and breaking their streak of defeats. Team Liquid is set to face off against the undefeated Cloud 9 this Friday.

According to a report by ESPN's Jacob Wolfe, Team Liquid will be fielding Goldenglue as a full-time member of the starting lineup and have forgone the previous plan to split the role with Austin "Link" Shim who will be moving out of the team house as of this Wednesday.

In this interview we discuss a variety of topics from his thoughts on the meta after patch 7.3, being a member of the main Team Liquid roster, and who he looks up to as a role model.
