Doublelift\u2019s urge to return to pro play in North America begs a question too\u2060\u2014where would the eight-time champ actually be able to find a starting position?<\/p>

Of the top four LCS teams right now, Cloud9 and Liquid boast import AD carries in Berserker and Hans Sama. Both have been standouts in 2022 so far, and are irreplaceable for their lineups. FBI starts for 100 Thieves and is equally key. The Australian star even has the added bonus of being a resident player.<\/p>

Evil Geniuses did have the option to sign Doublelift in the most recent League<\/em> offseason, but chose to keep the faith with youngster Danny. That decision has paid off big time too\u2060\u2014the 18-year-old has looked sensation in the first nine games of the year. One possible landing spot for the veteran would be FlyQuest, over Johnsun (also a resident player) but it\u2019s unlikely FLY would want to shake up their high-flying roster.<\/p>
