Doublelift is officially back with Team SoloMid.

Team Liquid's decision to move Yiliang 'Doublelift' Peng to TSM was originally reported by Jacob Wolf for ESPN last week. TSM officially confirmed the signing via Twitter on Sunday.

The announcement video was an almost note-for-note re-creation of the video made in 2015 when Doublelift first joined TSM from Counter Logic Gaming, including the final moments of both videos when Doublelift's jersey from his previous team gets tossed into the garbage.

Team Liquid posted a tribute video, highlighting Doublelift's successes, with the caption, 'When you're good, you'll tell everyone. When you're great, they'll tell you.' Thank you, Doublelift.'

Doublelift Internet Fame Over the years, Doublelift has gained a massive following on social media platforms, especially Twitter and Facebook, though he can also be found on Instagram. His official Twitter account has over 880,000 followers, while on Facebook, Doublelift has more than 300,000 loyal fans.

Doublelift leaves Team Liquid after four straight split championships in 2018 and 2019, and two straight worlds appearances with the team that saw them fail to advance past the group stage.

Team Liquid's 2020 spring split season was ultimately forgettable. Doublelift publicly talked about motivational challenges, battled illness, and ultimately was benched in favor of Academy player Edward 'Tactical' Ra.

Doublelift rejoins former TSM teammates Søren 'Bjergsen' Berg and Vincent 'Biofrost' Wang, with whom he found much success, including winning several splits, before leaving for Team Liquid. Doublelift holds the LCS record for most championships with seven, and is the first player to win LCS championships with three different teams (CLG, TSM and Team Liquid).

Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng is back in action. Sort of.

The League of Legends star is returning to TSM, but not to compete in the 2021 LCS. Instead, he has signed a deal with his former organization to represent TSM as a streamer and content creator on a full-time basis. The news was revealed with a video published by TSM.

Doublelift retired from competitive LoL alongside Søren 'Bjergsen' Bjerg following the 2020 World Championship, where TSM suffered a disastrous elimination after going 0-6 in the group stage. Despite that, Doublelift remains one of North America’s most popular pro players and is one of the region’s most decorated talents.

Doubleiift began competing professionally in 2011 for Counter Logic Gaming and made his way to Team SoloMid in 2015. He spent two years with the team and was a part of the 2016 TSM roster that is held up as one of the finest in North American history.

He left the organization to join Team Liquid in 2017 and enjoyed some of his most successful years with the team during that time, but returned to TSM in 2020 after a controversial divorce with TL. Though his 2020 split with TSM would ultimately be his last, it was still a strong one for Doublelift as he helped the team win the 2020 LCS Summer Split in order to qualify for Worlds.

Though Doublelift split from TSM professionally, he remained close to the team personally through his romantic relationship with TSM CEO Leena Xu. That makes his signing with the team as a streamer less than surprising.

Bjergsen also rejoined TSM following his retirement and currently works with its League of Legends team in a coaching role. Bjergsen is a part-owner in TSM.
