Doublelift

Yiliang "Peter" Peng is an American former professional League of Legends player and current content creator born on July 19, 1993. Known by his pseudonym Doublelift, he built a career as one of the most recognizable figures in competitive gaming. His journey took him through major organizations including Counter Logic Gaming, Team Liquid, Team SoloMid, and 100 Thieves. He now competes with his own squad, Near Airport, while maintaining his status as a semi-professional player. Across eighteen splits of competition, Doublelift secured five All-Pro First Team selections and one Third Team honor, earning a Split MVP title along the way.

His reputation extends beyond statistics. Doublelift became famous for his aggressive playstyle and willingness to taunt opponents. During the 2013 League of Legends All-Star tournament, he made headlines by declaring that "Everyone else is trash." This moment cemented his image as a fierce competitor who thrived on pressure. While he retired from full-time professional play, he continues to influence the scene through streaming and occasional matches. His longevity in an industry known for short careers speaks to his adaptability and skill. [edit]

Peng grew up in the United States where details about his childhood remain relatively sparse compared to his public career. He was a dedicated student who prioritized mechanical skill over formal education. As a young gamer, he spent countless hours grinding ranked matches in League of Legends, quickly rising through the North American Challenger circuit. His early days were defined by a high-risk playstyle that defied conventional meta strategies and showcased aggressive mechanics that set him apart from peers.

The pivotal moment before global stardom occurred during his time in the amateur leagues. Peng established himself as a dominant bot laner long before signing with a major organization. He focused entirely on improving his game rather than pursuing traditional schooling, eventually dropping out or focusing solely on his gaming career to pursue professional play full-time. By the time he joined Counter Logic Gaming in 2013, he had already honed a reputation as a prodigy capable of carrying games single-handedly. [edit]

Doublelift's breakthrough arrived when he joined Counter Logic Gaming in 2013, leading them to their first LCS title in 2014. This victory marked the beginning of a decade-long reign where he played for major organizations including Team Liquid, Team SoloMid, and 100 Thieves. He won multiple LCS championships, including the 2016 Spring and Summer splits with TSM, and secured the 2018 LCS Summer Championship split MVP award. His commercial success is measured not only in trophies but in viewership; he became one of the most-watched streamers on Twitch, driving significant revenue for platforms and sponsors.

In 2019, he led Team Liquid to two finals runs at the World Championship, solidifying his legacy as a top-tier competitor. In 2025, he formed his own squad, Near Airport, competing in the NACL before its disbandment in June 2025. As of mid-2026, he remains active as a semi-professional player and content creator, having returned to Team Liquid as a content partner in May 2026. Industry impact is evident in his role as a bridge between the old guard of NA LoL and the modern era, influencing a generation of players with his confidence and mechanical prowess. [edit]

Media portrays Doublelift as the archetype of the "troll" turned legend, a player whose confidence bordered on arrogance but was backed by undeniable skill. His content tone is unapologetic, humorous, and self-aware. He has evolved from a controversial figure into a respected elder statesman of the NA scene, known for mentoring younger players and maintaining relevance through adaptability. His distinctive style, often sporting dyed hair and casual streetwear, has become part of his brand identity. [edit]
