He previously played for Counter Logic Gaming, Team Liquid, Team SoloMid, and 100 Thieves, and currently plays for his own personal team, Near Airport. Peng is widely considered to be one of the greatest North American ''League of Legends'' Championship Series players of all time, with 1 Split MVP, 5 All-Pro First Teams, and 1 All-Pro Third Team in 18 splits of competitive play.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Staff |first1=LoLEsports |title=Top 10 LCS Players of All Time |url=https://lolesports.com/article/top-10-lcs-players-of-all-time/bltd116a513e26c661a |accessdate=June 6, 2024 |work=LoL Esports |date=September 7, 2022}}</ref> He is known for being a fierce competitor and trash-talking his opponents. One of his most famous statements came in 2013 at the League of Legends All-Star tournament when he claimed that, "Everyone else is trash."<ref>{{Citation |title=Doublelift Interview Calls Everyone Trash (AllStars 2013) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU_KRa1hTR0 |access-date=2023-03-04 |language=en}}</ref>

==Career== Peng comes from California, and started playing console games before jumping to PC titles such as ''DotA'', ''World of Warcraft'', and ''Heroes of Newerth'', eventually moving to ''League of Legends''.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}} In an interview with Machinima in 2013, Peng said his relationship with his parents was strained, because of his dream of being a professional esports player. "I would always struggle with my parents... we would just argue over everything, especially games. When I wanted to play they thought it was just a complete waste of time. It got worse and worse over the years."<ref name="road to success">{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=2XQQhrssnBY |title=Doublelift: The Road to Success |date=April 22, 2013 |publisher=Machinima, Inc. |access-date=September 4, 2018}}</ref> Peng first entered professional ''League of Legends'' when he gained the attention of George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis, founder of Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), who recruited him as a substitute Support player.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} Shortly after, Peng left CLG to become the starting Support for Epik Gamer.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} He later joined UnRestricted as the starting AD Carry, and the team was acquired by Team Curse later that year.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}}

Peng's first major tournament was DreamHack Summer 2011, also known as the Riot Season 1 Championship. Hosted in Sweden, he needed his parents' permission to go, but at the time his beginning esports career was a secret to his parents. "They wouldn't let me go... They were like 'You're going to die if you go to Sweden for Dreamhack'. " He was ultimately allowed to go after Doublelift's older brother helped convince their parents.<ref name="road to success" />

Peng was timid and socially awkward around his teammates. "I was really awkward and really introverted at the time. I was just that typical Asian guy who does nothing but play games. When I finally met my team I was like 'hi' and that was like the only thing I said. I said nothing after that. I was just a presence with them but I didn't interact with them very much."<ref name="road to success" /> In a Reddit AMA, Peng said he owed it to Epik Gamer for giving him the opportunity to begin his career. "Without Epik Gamer, I would have never made it into the pro scene most likely."<ref name="ama 2014">{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/25kswx/doublelift_ama_hihi/ |date=May 14, 2014 |title=Doublelift AMA ^__^ hihi |website=Reddit |first=Yiliang |last=Peng |access-date=September 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811074843/https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/25kswx/doublelift_ama_hihi/ |archive-date=August 11, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref>

When Peng returned home, he said his parents were not proud of his accomplishment at Dreamhack. "They wanted me to go to college." Tensions grew between him and his parents over his choice of career, until in 2011 his parents told him to leave the house. He did, taking his prize money from Dreamhack and his computer.<ref name="road to success" /> Peng wrote about the event on Reddit in a thread titled "Hi I'm Doublelift, formerly of team [Epik Gamer], and today I became homeless."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/izt4n/hi_im_doublelift_formerly_of_team_eg_and_today_i/ |title=Hi I'm Doublelift, formerly of team EG, and today I became homeless |website=Reddit |first=Yiliang |last=Peng |date=July 25, 2011 |access-date=September 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223070823/http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/izt4n/hi_im_doublelift_formerly_of_team_eg_and_today_i |archive-date=February 23, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> With no college degree or family to return to, he decided to go all-in on his professional gaming career. Peng began earning money for writing educational ''League of Legends'' content for Team Curse. "I pretty much made half the guides for that site...

With his new team, Peng and TSM had a shaky start to the first half of the split, with a record of 6–3. Although they were third in LCS, critics deemed their wins unconvincing and some considered their record as not properly reflective of their actual skill level.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-13 |title=LCS Summer Week 5 power rankings: Team Liquid, 100 Thieves, and Dignitas rise {{!}} ONE Esports |url=https://www.oneesports.gg/league-of-legends/lcs-summer-week-5-power-rankings-team-liquid-100-thieves-and-dignitas-rise/ |access-date=2022-03-09 |website=www.oneesports.gg |language=en-US}}</ref> In the middle of the split, Biofrost was replaced by TSM Academy support Treatz, with the team citing better communication and playmaking as the deciding factors.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-15 |title=TSM promoting Treatz to LCS for Week 6, Biofrost playing Academy |url=https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/11670/tsm-promoting-treatz-to-lcs-for-week-6-biofrost-playing-academy |access-date=2022-03-09 |website=InvenGlobal |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Esguerra |first=Tyler |date=2020-08-20 |title=TSM to choose "the better player" at support for LCS playoffs after splitting practice time |url=https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/tsm-to-choose-the-better-player-at-support-for-lcs-playoffs-after-splitting-practice-time |access-date=2022-03-09 |website=Dot Esports |language=en-US}}</ref> TSM finished the regular split in 4th place with a 12–6 record and qualified for playoffs. In playoffs, TSM faced the fifth-seeded Golden Guardians in the upper bracket of the double-elimination tournament. Although it was projected to be a close series, Golden Guardians unexpectedly swept TSM 3–0 with the TSM bot lane being perceived as the weak link in the loss. After the first-round defeat, the team subbed Biofrost back in place of Treatz. The move was in part cited to the existing synergy between Doublelift and Biofrost, especially for laning phase. TSM would drop to the bottom half of the elimination bracket to face the 8th seed, Team Dignitas. TSM swept Dignitas in a convincing fashion, as expected. With the Golden Guardians' loss to Team Liquid, TSM had to face them once again in the 2nd round of the lower bracket. Golden Guardians took the first two games of the series, but behind outstanding performances from Bjergsen, Spica, and Brokenblade, TSM managed to come back and reverse sweep the series. In the next round, TSM faced Cloud9 in order to determine the final seed for the 2020 World Championships. TSM won the series against Cloud9 3–1 and qualified for Worlds. With Team Liquid losing to FlyQuest in the upper bracket, Doublelift faced his old team in order to move on to the summer split finals. TSM defeated Team Liquid 3–2 after a grueling five-game series. TSM faced FlyQuest in the finals, with TSM once again winning 3–2 after a tough five-game series.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-07 |title=[LCS Summer Playoffs] TSM defeats FlyQuest 3-2, wins first domestic title in two years |url=https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/12181/lcs-summer-playoffs-tsm-defeats-flyquest-3-2-wins-first-domestic-title-in-two-years |access-date=2022-03-09 |website=InvenGlobal |language=en}}</ref> This win marked Doublelift's 8th NA LCS title.

Completing their miraculous lower bracket run, Doublelift and TSM headed to Shanghai for the 2020 World Championships as the NA 1st seed. During the tournament, TSM was placed into Group C along with the LCK 3rd seed Gen.G, the LEC 2nd seed FNC, and the LPL 4th seed LGD.
