Aside from Xpecial, this group of relatively unknown players comes into the Academy League with varied levels of experience. Bobqin and Potluck were both substitutes for North American Challenger team eUnited in 2017. Jurassiq played in the NA CS 2017 summer qualifiers for Team Gates, while Jenkins was a part of the 2016 Scouting Grounds tournament.
Although Clutch Gaming has revealed four of the five players on its academy roster, Golden Guardians is the eighth NA LCS organization to complete its Academy League team, following OpTic Gaming’s announcement earlier today.
