Golden Guardians secured its first 2-0 weekend in the North American League of Legends Championship Series with a win over 100 Thieves on Sunday in Los Angeles.
From champion select onward, Golden Guardians (4-4) put its eggs in the basket of mid laner Son "Mickey" Young-min. After throwing out three support bans to shut out this meta's popular mid lane funnel strategy, Golden Guardians spent its first pick on Zoe, which gave Mickey plenty of carry and outplay potential. He got rolling right from the get-go as Golden Guardians invaded the 100 Thieves jungle for a Level 1 kill onto 100 Thieves jungler Andy "AnDa" Hoang, which Mickey secured with his Ignite.
