- Riot Games and Honda are proud to partner and bring these highly personal stories of passion and determination of the biggest LCS stars to fans around the globe.
From Texas high school football to the LCS, Greyson Gilmer, better known as Goldenglue, has been fighting for his spot for a long, long time. Playing behind a future NFL tight end in Kaden Smith, Goldenglue developed a resilience that has come to define his journey beyond the game of football. Since leaving Texas to join the LCS in 2014, Goldenglue has bounced around the league, playing for more than a dozen teams in just seven years. Throughout his career, he has been benched, replaced or dropped too many times to count. Yet, despite all that adversity, Goldenglue has never given up hope that if he just keeps working harder, he can find a place for himself in the league.
Now with a starting spot on Golden Guardians, Goldenglue looks to capitalize on the work he’s been putting in all these years. It’s the next step in a long journey; and with Spring Finals coming to Texas, it’s a chance to bring that journey home.

Aw his mom is such an angel. What a great supportive parent.
She's certainly his biggest fan!
Bigger guns than me 😂
@Sean Avery too much work
Never forget the semifinals 2018 C9 TSM when she cried after C9 with GG won and how she got all the fans on her side like nothing. Such a great narrative.
His mom is so proud of him. Love to see parents like that. She's all in with him.
Went to high school with this dude, played side by side with him on the football team, supported him then. Now I live in San Diego and still get to go support him. Thanks for being a good friend and keeping in touch brother. Much love.
this drive was the most impressive well put good story in a while ( not to say bej's was bad )
Thanks for sharing your #HondaLove!
@@zer0day873 but it is
really cool to see the football guys cheering him on
This is my fav kinda of supplementary lcs content, wish we could have it more often.
We hear ya, Brandon! Will keep your comment in mind.
👏 Let's 👏 go 👏 Goldenglue 👏
❤❤❤
that was dope! good stuff GG
GoldenMom is just so cute, i dont wanna cry
Actually the GOAT
He is doing pretty good on GG atm. I am happy to see him play like an actual lcs player and i wish him the best of luck
Exactly this. It wasn't just that Piglet replaced him in mid on TL, Piglet was a massive upgrade at the time. Goldenglue has always been someone with drive that couldn't play well on stage, and now that he's finally performing at an okay level, I am really happy for him.
Steve bruh...
Really enjoyed this episode. Commented for more content like this.
goldenglue ❤️
He went to my high school lmao
You can really feel his DRIVE to improve!
We see what you did there, Emilio 😎
What the hell
when the music started playing at like 13:50 dust suddenly appeared in my room making me tear up
I know that feel bro...
Greyson's character was molded by all the people around him... Thank you for this story. Keep going Goldenglue.
love how they talk about him being basically a backup tight end to a literal pro football player
Honestly really impressive.
Even though I wish he was still on C9, I am so happy that Goldenglue got a chance to start for another team. I hope C9 wins the split, but I definitely know who I want to come in second.
Good for Goldenglue, I admit as a 3rd party person, who has NEVER been a fan of a team goldenglue has been on, not cause of him just cause that's how things played out; I've always seen him as trash or someone who just didn't work hard enough. Obviously all of this was unwarranted and this shows how much passion he really has, I hope he doesnt give up. I'm a fan.
Excellent mini doc.
The LEC production team is the best at so many things but this is where the LCS team shines.
These Drive videos are some of the best league related content that's out. These videos always make me fall in love with the featured player.
Dam this was really well made.
Goldenglue and GGS has got a new fan for sure! love learning about the players behind the teams
This Drive was incredible. You know it's good when by the end you want the guy to win finals
Goldenglue is the definition of humble perseverance, so much respect to him
Greyson is awesome and is exactly where he should be. His mom, Julie is beautiful as well as a great mom and supporter.
IMO this is less about Goldenglue as a player and more about the LCS as a whole. No teams actively look at raising a domestic midlaner, so we get these teams signing middle-tier EU mids who just come in for the paychecks and leave after a couple 6-10th place finishes. LCS should limit import slots to 1 and then make the academy 100% domestic. Relying on imports is killing the region, and has created a massive gap between even EU and NA.
Atm, there is a single LCS midlaner who is from NA, and that's GoldeGlue. Props to him for making it in a role where the league as a whole has stacked the odds against him.
i don't personally agree on the import changes but this is an underrated comment. I too felt like the struggles had more to do than just goldenglue improvement
Pobelter is NA
I loved GG on C9! As long as he wants to play, it will never be his last shot. He's shown so much improvement in the last couple of years and seems like one of the sweetest guys on the scene, he just needs the right environment to flourish in!
C9 Really saved his career and image. I think they managed him well. Supported him and allowed him to start on an LCS roster after.
Avvura I am very, very grateful for Jack! 💙
:( i teared up a bit watching golden mom. She's a real big support system and I'm happy he made it. Proud of ya golden mom!
GOOOOO GOLDEN GUARDIANS! best episode of DRIVE yet by a margin
Let me say I have nothing but respect for this man. Met him briefly in St. Louis nicest guy imaginable. The definition of a team player.
I watched GGs play in week two? They interview golden glue and another players mother's and since that moment I have been cheering for the golden guardians. Best of luck guys!
Probably Keith's mom since she's really supportive and into it as well ^^
@@eyla5789 Keith's mom followed me on twitter after I tweeted a few good things about him lol. Love her.
@@raghavpant3251 same hahaha
Goldenglue is such a player you wanna see win, I want this guy to hold the summoner cup man
Yesssssss. My favorite player. Had my eyes on him since he was on T8. When his career looked to be at its lowest. When giving up would have been the easy road, he chose double down and chase his goal.
My favorite player love how he just keeps coming back no matter what
Last 2 years have been hands down the best of GG's career. He's really looked good. Hope he can keep it up and continue to be competitive.
Okay. I'm cheering for GG now. I really want GoldenGlue to make it to spring finals in his home state!
Suddenly a goldenglue fan...
Wayne Clark exactly why thoorin said you should always do a drive episode if they ask. The worst players can get fans for years, Matt still has fans and people defending him from his drive episode.
His mom making me cut some onions over here.
great piece dudes! I know much much it means for everyone creating this!
didn't know GG went through this much i knew he bounced from team to team but wow he went through so much
I just really wanna see Goldenglue win LCS after this.
Goldenmom is so wholesome 🥺
Love seeing stories like Goldenglue where you're not given much to work with, but you make it happen. Super happy to see him on the LCS and see him performing pretty well. Wish to see more backstory content like this!
a man of dedication, is a man i can respect.
since day 1 goldenglue, u the man
This is the best DRIVE ive seen we need more
Incredibly well made. Love how they tied all parts of the story together. Come on goldenglue we're rooting for you out here!!
loving this series.
I hope this video gets more views. And I hope Golden Glue has continued success. He deserves it.
Dude what a great video! stuff like this reminds you that this guys are humans, the made sacrifices to go and play in the LCS for us to watch, I been watching LCS for a long time now, and I always look GoldenGlue like this player who reach his final limit or power of play, but knowing his background, dude! I really want cheer for him to go play in his hometown! Keep doing more Drive videos, if you like to introduce people to watch LCS you can show them this video, for they empathize with the players more!
3rd time watching this, and I’m still crying. Amazing episode
Insane respect for him. What a story, too.
Okay this just made me not only a fan of golden glue but also golden guardians
Lets go GOLDENGLUEEEEE! Always thought hes underappreciated and underrated.
Since Team Ember, Goldenglue is one of those proplayers, with the proper teamates, coaching and positive attitude, be a champion. After C9 run, he finally get his starter spot; even I support C9, I really want GG to be in the big scenario (LCS Finals or MSI or Worlds) and show to the universe, what he is made of.
Keep strong Greyson Gregory "Goldenglue" Gilmer of Golden Guardians.
💪💪💪
No, he wouldn't, outside of getting carried he wouldn't win a championship. He definitely has the passion, just lacks the talent needed to be championship level. He is definitely LCS caliber, but that isn't saying much when LCS is the weakest league and 8/10 of the midlane slots are imports.
This, this has been the best piece of LoL esports content put out in a while.
Still don’t belive Steve112 would straight up said someone that he isn’t good enough and that he should quit... Glad to see him get a starting spot.. Dude earned it for sure
It's by far the best drive video. I hope you get where you're going, swole bro. For both you and swole mom's sake.
Im now i huge Golden Glue supporter! Such a well made video, really connects us to his life story.
Why do I cry every time I see this stuff
Great piece of content, maybe goldenglue doesnt have the high ceiling that other midlaners do but his work ethic and motivation is for sure at the top and with that attitude you can achieve many things..
This the best dive they have ever done
Goldenglue has had a rough career being moved around soo much. I was soo happy when I heard he was a starter on GG. Hoping they can make it to finals!
GOLDENMOM STOP NOW IM CRYING
I love G^6. I'll always cheer for him to improve.
this is EYES ON production level DRIVE was never this good
goldenglue's success story in the making
I want a GGS vs C9 final in Dallas that would be so hype. Best of luck Goldenglue, the only direction is up
He just seems like such a good human being and I'm glad he's finally getting a real chance. This was awesome.
With Keith, no less, who's got his own redemption arc. I hope GGS gets that 5th/6th seed.
Mindstate they benched Keith...
Best Drive! Rooting for you GoldenGlue!!
MAD respect for NA midlaners
The Drive series is fantastic. Keep these up :)
Scarra LOL! His mom so precious..
Honestly, anyone willing to go through that BS of getting benched over and over and then finally kinda popping off in FINALS LAST GAME just to get overlooked again?
That’s where more than 99% of people just call it. Anyone willing to work that hard for basically no progress?
They’re worth a shot, tbh.
Kaden Smith the Goldenglue story. Starring Kaden Smith ft NY Giants star K. Smith.
Thank you Honda, very cool.
wow steve told goldenglue that POGCHAMP WTF that's dissgusting
Cody Greenly right after yesterday how people were praising Steve how he benched his best player or biggest name in his team this shit pops up KEKW
Steve says a lot of horrible things. Reason I hate TL as a team is because of him.
Yeah Steve was honest and it’s true.
It’s funny because Doublelift said a similar thing to Steve when they were on the same team LOL
All the best for Greyson, such a nice guy!
Great episode and an even better guy❤️
Bruh I'm so close to crying😭😭, I still remember when he left for Korea for 2 weeks.
Heard he just got benched again, in favour of Damonte...hope he at least gets to play in Academy
yah, he is on gg academy as mid laner
Dude what the hell, I did NOT expect at ALL to see my school district's football stadium in this video at 0:17... I had no idea goldenglue went to Marcus, holy shit.
Small world man.
THE GOLDEN BOYYYYY
this is a inspirational story because im working my way through iron right now and i want to get to challenger to be a pro yes the road is long and the time is even longer but this makes me wanna put one footstep in front of the other
He's the one of the only nonimport NA midlaners left.
Pobelter
Goldenglue with the Naruto story, keep going man
How is he like naruto? Naruto is basically a reicarnation of a god who had hos destiny layed out for him. He was born from a king and a the heir of a powerful clan. He got an op demon inside of him which gies him immeasurable power and chakra. He got favouritism from him teachers and hokage. Goldenglue is more like Gai sensei, worked his entire life and never gave up but in the end still couldn't do anything vs natural talent
@@onetoxicboi6346 take a chill pill bro :) I reffered to the fact that despite no natural talent he does not give up and keeps on improving. Plus u never know, maybe gg has a demon inside him
I am now officially a golden guardians fan.
Goldenmom
salim niazi look at that ... something we can finally agree on
I am speechless...this was just awesome
Best Drive yet.
Best mom ever.
Very impressive work! Maybe you could do the same for Apollo? He has been around for like an enternity
This is amazing
Goldenglue has had too much bad luck for the drive curse to not have the opposite effect here. Drive buff incoming.
Zach Reddington There’s a Drive Curse? No one told me that. 🤦🏼♀️
big respect
GG's G'GG'G let's go! Pulling for you.
It's Golden time baby!
Really inspiring, great video.
Such a great episode 🔥 so inspiring actually :D
Golden Greyson GoldenGlue Guardian Gilmer aka GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
