When TSM’s star AD carry Yiliang \u201cDoublelift\u201d Peng said at the end of last year that he was taking a hiatus<\/a> from competitive play, League of Legends<\/em> fans were stunned\u2014especially when his former teammate Zaqueri \u201cAphromoo\u201d Black claimed<\/a> that \u201cthere\u2019s no way he will come back.\u201d How wrong he was. Doublelift is back, although not on the roster fans were probably expecting. Instead, he’ll be suiting up with Team Liquid. TSM will lend Doublelift to Liquid for the remainder of the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split, pending Riot\u2019s final approval, the organizations announced today<\/a>. Doublelift replaces Jung \u201cYoungbin\u201d Young-bin, who dropped out of a League<\/em> scholarship at UC Irvine two weeks ago to join Liquid and only played one LCS week on the roster. Team Liquid find themselves in a heavy slump this split. The bottom-placed team has 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. \u201cThe split has not gone well; we are disappointed and are continuing to work hard to ensure our team\u2019s success,\u201d Steve Arhancet, Team Liquid\u2019s Co-CEO, said in an announcement<\/a>. \u201cWe have tried all options and this is the best temporary solution for Team Liquid to finish the Spring Split.\u201d This Saturday, Liquid faces off against Cloud9, who currently sit at the top of the standings. There\u2019s little hope that Liquid can get an upset in this match\u2014even if Doublelift performs at an all-time high. Cloud9 is simply looking too strong right now. Liquid’s match against Team EnVyUs on Sunday is a safer shot, and a chance for the team to step up and claim a much needed win. EnVyUs is currently tied in last place with Liquid. It seems Doublelift is eager to prove himself on Summoner\u2019s Rift once again, declaring his ambition to return to TSM\u2019s starting roster after the conclusion of the Spring Split. \u201cDuring my break, I realized that playing competitively is my calling and although I didn’t intend to come back before Summer Split, an opportunity came up for me to return the to pro play earlier,\u201d Doublelift said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cMy time on TL will help me ease back into the competitive environment and prepare me for my tryout with TSM in the summer.\u201d Until then, there\u2019s a lot of weight on Doublelift\u2019s shoulders. It\u2019s all eyes on him when it comes to the rest of the split and Team Liquid\u2019s fate in the NA LCS. If anyone can prevent the club from relegation and get them back on track, it\u2019s an experienced player like Doublelift. With the addition of Doublelift, Liquid’s roster restructuring isn’t over yet. On Twitter, Arhancet said<\/a> that another roster change took place before the deadline, which is still pending Riot’s approval. With the new additions, this weekend’s matches will prove an important test for the whole Team Liquid roster.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

taking a hiatus from competitive play, League of Legends fans were stunned\u2014especially when his former teammate Zaqueri \u201cAphromoo\u201d Black claimed that \u201cthere\u2019s no way he will come back.\u201d How wrong he was. Doublelift is back, although not on the roster fans were probably expecting. Instead, he'll be suiting up with Team Liquid. TSM will lend Doublelift to Liquid for the remainder of the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split, pending Riot\u2019s final approval, the organizations announced today. Doublelift replaces Jung \u201cYoungbin\u201d 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 find themselves in a heavy slump this split. The bottom-placed team has 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. \u201cThe split has not gone well; we are disappointed and are continuing to work hard to ensure our team\u2019s success,\u201d Steve Arhancet, Team Liquid\u2019s Co-CEO, said in an announcement. \u201cWe have tried all options and this is the best temporary solution for Team Liquid to finish the Spring Split.\u201d This Saturday, Liquid faces off against Cloud9, who currently sit at the top of the standings. There\u2019s little hope that Liquid can get an upset in this match\u2014even if Doublelift performs at an all-time high. Cloud9 is simply looking too strong right now. Liquid's match against Team EnVyUs on Sunday is a safer shot, and a chance for the team to step up and claim a much needed win. EnVyUs is currently tied in last place with Liquid. It seems Doublelift is eager to prove himself on Summoner\u2019s Rift once again, declaring his ambition to return to TSM\u2019s starting roster after the conclusion of the Spring Split. \u201cDuring my break, I realized that playing competitively is my calling and although I didn't intend to come back before Summer Split, an opportunity came up for me to return the to pro play earlier,\u201d Doublelift said in a statement. \u201cMy time on TL will help me ease back into the competitive environment and prepare me for my tryout with TSM in the summer.\u201d Until then, there\u2019s a lot of weight on Doublelift\u2019s shoulders. It\u2019s all eyes on him when it comes to the rest of the split and Team Liquid\u2019s fate in the NA LCS. If anyone can prevent the club from relegation and get them back on track, it\u2019s an experienced player like Doublelift. With the addition of Doublelift, Liquid's roster restructuring isn't over yet. On Twitter, Arhancet said that another roster change took place before the deadline, which is still pending Riot's approval.
