Doublelift surprises everyone at NA LCS

AD carry Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng is back, and now he’s part of the Team Liquid League of Legends squad.

The former TSM carry said at the end of last year that he was taking a hiatus from competitive play, League of Legends fans were stunned—especially when his former teammate Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black claimed that “there’s no way he will come back.” However, it looks like the player’s love for the game and its competitions drove him right back in.

TSM will lend Doublelift to Liquid for the remainder of the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split, pending Riot’s final approval, the organizations announced today. Doublelift replaces Jung “Youngbin” Young-bin, who dropped out of a League scholarship at UC Irvine two weeks ago to join Liquid and only played one LCS week on the roster.

Team Liquid are currently in a tough position, as they only won three out of 12 matches and faces relegation if they don’t turn things around. The remaining three weeks of the Spring Split will be a rough ride for the team, with or without Doublelift.
