Golden Guardians Sign Damonte as New Mid Laner
By Jack Cohen
Golden Guardians have announced they will replace Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer with ex-Dignitas Academy player, Tanner "Damonte" Damonte.
Golden Guardians, who finished the LCS spring split in 6th place with an 8-10 record, are bringing on Damonte, a player who has shown flashes of brilliance which was enough to garner the attention of Golden Guardians coaching staff. He will be replacing Goldenglue, a player that was never flashy, but was a solid rock to have controlling the middle of the rift.
To strengthen our LCS team in the Mid lane, we are excited to announce that former Worlds competitor, @Damonte will be joining the Golden Guardians as our starting LCS Mid for the 2020 Summer Split! pic.twitter.com/2h3RvcJ43d

Golden Guardians Sign Damonte as New Mid Laner
This move comes as a slight surprise for Golden Guardians' fans, although some seem to be excited about the change. Goldenglue responded to this move mentioning the decision was unexpected and did not think his removal was likely.
Many fans have responded similarly to Goldenglue wondering where this change came from and if it was necessary, encouraging Goldenglue to work his way back into an LCS roster. Other fans are appreciative of the move, and hope this will allow the Golden Guardians to be competitive during the summer split.
