It is unclear whether the injury will affect Young's ability to play in Team Liquid's match tomorrow against Clutch Gaming or Sunday against Golden Guardians. ESTNN has reached out to Team Liquid for confirmation of Young's availability for the match and will update this article when we receive an answer.
Prior to the accident, Young has been having a stellar split, posting an average CS differential of +1.8 and a gold differential of +285 at fifteen minutes. Although his statistics don't jump off the page, fans and analysts have consistently praised him for his performance throughout the Summer Split.
