Former Golden Guardians Support Matt Returns to Team Liquid
Matthew “Matt” Elento, former support player for the Golden Guardians, has announced his return to Team Liquid. In a video posted on YouTube, Matt revealed that he will be playing on the Academy League team.
A Brief Background
Matt previously played for Team Liquid and its Academy affiliate from May 2015 to December 2017. However, he then joined the Golden Guardians, a newly-formed team. Unfortunately, the Golden Guardians struggled in the NA LCS splits of 2018 and finished the year with a combined record of 9-27, placing last in both splits.
Looking for a Fresh Start
In the video, Matt expressed his desire to return to a solid environment and prove himself as a top LCS pro. He acknowledged that his time with the Golden Guardians provided him with valuable experience, despite the team’s performance.
A Return to Team Liquid
Prior to this announcement, Matt had played several Academy matches for Team Liquid. However, he did not compete in a full split in the league. Now, as a member of TL Academy, Matt will be playing alongside bot laner Quentin “Shoryu” Pereira and jungler Mike Yeung, who previously played for TSM and their Academy League team in 2018.
