Doublelift says: He would have liked to win the Worlds or at least reach the quarter-finals, but now it is time for rookies to take the torch for him.
Doublelift retires on a “bad note”
Why is he retiring now? Doublelift apparently struggled with the decision to retire. He initially decided against it.
A few weeks ago, the mid laner from TSM, Bjergsen, announced his retirement. Doublelift said he had considered retiring together with Bjergsen for a week. But he apparently decided against it.
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.
Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.
At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.
Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.
He is said to earn $6 million for a 2-year contract, as stated by the head of TSM in an interview with the Washington Post.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:

From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:
The world champion explains why the USA is so bad at LoL
Doublelift says: He would have liked to win the Worlds or at least reach the quarter-finals, but now it is time for rookies to take the torch for him.
Doublelift retires on a “bad note”
Why is he retiring now? Doublelift apparently struggled with the decision to retire. He initially decided against it.
A few weeks ago, the mid laner from TSM, Bjergsen, announced his retirement. Doublelift said he had considered retiring together with Bjergsen for a week. But he apparently decided against it.
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.
Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.
At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.

But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:
The world champion explains why the USA is so bad at LoL
At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.
Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.

Doublelift retires on a “bad note”
Why is he retiring now? Doublelift apparently struggled with the decision to retire. He initially decided against it.
A few weeks ago, the mid laner from TSM, Bjergsen, announced his retirement. Doublelift said he had considered retiring together with Bjergsen for a week. But he apparently decided against it.
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.
Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.
At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.

The world champion explains why the USA is so bad at LoL
In the League of Legends last year, Team Solo Mid had two legendary players. In 2021, TSM will have none. Following Bjergsen, Yilang “Doublelift” Peng has also announced his retirement. The bot laner has shaped US LoL like few others. The 27-year-old shone with his skill but ruined many chances with his massive ego.
Why is Doublelift so important? The bot laner Doublelift became a champion in the US LCS with 3 different teams. He played League of Legends since Season 1 and later became the star of US LoL. He has significantly influenced the history of the LCS and is regarded as one of the most well-known, talented, and controversial LoL players in the West.
Of the last 11 championships of the LCS, Doublelift has won 8:
- In 2015, Doublelift became champion with Counter Logic Gaming. He was such an ego monster that he clashed with his supporter Aphromoo, who told the team: Either Doublelift goes or I go (via youtube).
- Doublelift moved to TSM, his biggest rival, and won two championships there in 2016 and 2017. However, due to TSM’s lack of international success, management disbanded the team.
- After being kicked from TSM, he swore to take bitter revenge on the team, he moved to Team Liquid, winning 4 championships with them in 2018 and 2019.
- When that was no longer enough, he returned to TSM and grabbed the 8th championship in the summer of 2020.
What was Doublelift like outside of Summoner’s Rift? The 8 championships show how much Doublelift has influenced the league. At the same time, he built a Twitch channel (1.4 million followers) and is someone who constantly shares his opinion on everything without holding back.
Doublelift was often involved in controversies. In spring 2020, it caused a stir that Doublelift moved to TSM because his girlfriend worked there as a team manager.
Later there was an affront because the manager held a phone conversation discussing internal details of TSM. The conversation became public because Doublelift was streaming at that moment and internal information leaked live via Twitch.
“Everyone else is trash”
As a quote that made him famous, “Everyone Else is trash” – everyone is garbage, except him.
Doublelift started as a shy boy in League of Legends but has since developed into someone who flaunted not just being good, but especially being better than everyone else.
Doublelift clearly enjoyed the role of the “bad boy,” telling others how little they are capable of. He often does this with a smirk. There is surely some showmanship in this demeanor, but the question is: How much?
What still haunts him: Doublelift has never managed to get past the group stage at the Worlds. His teams always failed in the group phase.
At the Worlds 2020, he suffered a historic defeat with TSM: They traveled as the strongest US team to the Worlds but went out with a 0-6 record.
Shy and unpopular before LoL – Confident afterwards
This is what Doublelift says: In a post on Twitter , the 27-year-old states that LoL has completely changed his life. Before he became a pro, he was a nerd and unpopular. In school, he was bullied, so he kept a low profile and tried not to stand out. He was shy, had zero self-confidence, and was basically someone who was forgotten while being seen.
As a pro LoL player, Doublelift finally gained recognition and pride. In the beginning, he faced harsh criticism. He played “too greedy”, didn’t fit in a team game like LoL, and was better as an analyst than as a player.
It was said that he could never win anything, but Doublelift trained 14 hours a day and then won 8 of the last 11 LCS championships.
From what is known, this is by far a new salary record for a LoL player in the West. At least for contracts that have become known or are rumored.
But at 27, Doublelift is also relatively old for a LoL player. Perhaps comments like those from world champion Doinb from China also reached him. Doinb said: In the USA, the same players always play and too few rookies come up. Doublelift and Bjergsen are now making way for a new generation:

At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.
Update 17:09: It is now known where TSM is investing the money it saves by not keeping Doublelift. SwordArt (23) is actually coming from Suning to TSM as a supporter.
He is said to earn $6 million for a 2-year contract, as stated by the head of TSM in an interview with the Washington Post.

Doublelift says: He would have liked to win the Worlds or at least reach the quarter-finals, but now it is time for rookies to take the torch for him.
Doublelift retires on a “bad note”
Why is he retiring now? Doublelift apparently struggled with the decision to retire. He initially decided against it.
A few weeks ago, the mid laner from TSM, Bjergsen, announced his retirement. Doublelift said he had considered retiring together with Bjergsen for a week. But he apparently decided against it.
Doublelift said: It feels wrong to retire on such a bad note, as following the Worlds embarrassment. But Bjergsen’s retirement has apparently troubled Doublelift.
Shortly after, it was announced that TSM would sign SwordArt, the supporter of WM finalist Suning. Doublelift would have received a high-class partner for the bot lane in his later years.
But the deal became complicated for visa reasons and dragged on. Insider Jacob Wolf reported: Doublelift did not want to play for TSM anymore if he did not receive “foreign support”.
It is likely that these circumstances played into the retirement decision. Perhaps Doublelift would have played for TSM in 2021 if the deal with SwordArt had gone through sooner.
At the moment, this situation still seems to be hanging in the balance. TSM appears to be completely restructuring for 2021. For Bjergsen, they have already found a replacement in the German player “Power of Evil”, who should follow Doublelift, seems completely open at the moment.
