Peng Yiliang, known as Doublelift, is an American professional League of Legends AD Carry player who currently plays for Team SoloMid. He has also spent several years playing for Counter Logic Gaming and has played for Team Liquid in the past. He has had one of the longest careers of any player in the North American League of Legends Championship Series and has appeared in the League of Legends World Championship several times. For much of his career, he was considered by many to be North America's premier AD Carry, and he is still widely regarded as one of the top three in the region. His previous hobby before playing video games was learning card magic, and it influenced the choosing of his in-game ID Doublelift, as double lift is a staple card trick.
Known for his Blitzcrank, Doublelift gained the attention of George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis in early 2011, and the two duo queued together. HotshotGG asked him to join Counter Logic Gaming as a substitute which he accepted, but soon moved to Epik Gamer for a starting position as their Support. Doublelift then moved on to unRestricted to become their starting AD Carry. Some time afterwards the team was acquired by Curse Inc. and he competed for Curse at LAN events such as IGN Proleague and IEM New York.
In November 2011, Doublelift left Curse and rejoined CLG, now as their starting AD Carry.
CLG prime would attend the 2012 MLG Fall Championship in Dallas on November 2 through 4th. In the first round they faced the Korean powerhouse NaJin Sword, where they were routed in two lopsided matches. Falling to the losers bracket, CLG Prime would sweep Curse Gaming in round one, and then pick up a close 2-1 series against another NA team Dignitas. They faced their sister team CLG EU in Round 3 and lost 2-1 and were eliminated from the tournament. CLG Prime finished in 4th with $2,000 in winnings.
On November 29, CLG would enter the IPL 5 tournament held in Las Vegas. In the group stages CLG Prime would dispatch the newly formed Team FeaR twice while dropping a game to CLG EU to advance. In the first round they would defeat Curse EU 2-1, and then move on to face FnaticRC. CLG Prime took the first game off Fnatic with sharp play from Jiji's Twisted Fate, however the champion was quickly banned out and CLG Prime would lose the next two games. In the losers bracket CLG Prime would face Moscow 5, they would take the first game of the set, but then fell twice against the Russian team, finishing their run in the tournament. CLG Prime would place 5th-6th with $2,500 in prize money. CLG Prime outperformed most expectations of them at tournament, with a strong showing of Chauster as the new jungler; they also challenged the perception of Team SoloMid as the strongest team in the NA scene.
