Thank you, Doublelift. I have followed your career since the time you moved in with Travis, it's been very inspirational and I have massive respect for you and your accomplishments.
Also 30, turning 31 soon. Been watching you since the dorm days, using my projector on 6 bristle boards taped together as the screen. Now I have a wife, 2 kids, and 2 businesses and the priorities, growth, and heartfelt summary of your professional career in this video is extremely sentimental and a reminiscing experience. From where it started, to starting to watch worlds again when you returned last year, it's been an honor being a part of the journey. Congratulations on all your achievements, the personal development, and best of luck to all your future endeavors. Thanks for all the years of entertainment and looking forward to more!
As much as I was a hardcore TSM fan back then during the dominant era of LCS, was always hating on you and seeing you as a rival to my favorite team. Looking back, all I can say is because of you, the rivalry between the old school CLG VS TSM saga was one of the very best moments in league. You have provided so much for us to cheer on, look forward to every game, rooting on teams. I sincerely thank you Doublelift for giving us fans what we truly wanted but don't deserve. Massive respect and once again thank you for all the amazing performance you have given us fans. Good luck and all the best in your future endeavors.
Bro, because of YOU and YOU alone, oh so many people had a chance to be great in esports, you opened the door, gave courage, inspired generations. That is something.
Damn I’m getting old, I started watching league in season 2. I’m 28 years old now and this hits me right in the feels. It’s weird to think how much league and you specifically have been apart of my life. Thank you for all the years of top level play and entertainment. I’m happy that you’re happy and starting another new chapter in your life, that’s incredibly exciting. GG my friend…..p.s everyone else is trash
Started watching and playing league since season 2, stop playing on pc 10 years ago but still watching the league and playing casual wildrift with friends, 36 years old now 😢
fuck, this makes me so sad. DL you are the greatest personality in league and I followed you the entire way. You brought an attitude that the scene sorely needed. I am thankful I got to see you win 2 titles, in Toronto and Boston. Thank you for everything
I started playing league in S3 and found I liked ADC. I went on TH-cam and saw this sick montage of this guy called Doublelift and I wanted to play just like him. Thank you so much for the entertainment and joy you’ve brought your fans. @10:15 I was 14. I’m 25 now and teaching others in the field I enjoy so much - physics.
I've played this game from 6th grade up until now in my final year in university, this has me in my feels crucially, sneaky, balls, meteos, hai, bjergsen, all good things truly come to an end, and I couldn't be any more grateful for your energy and charisma Doublelift, apart of me has grown up with you guys. Truly appreciate what you're doing and what you are standing for, good luck homie in the future, looking forward to seeing you prosper gang. Even if it there is a popularity factor, I feel like you and I have been friends since time, good luck with it all brother :).
I dont even follow league anymore but Doublelift was always one of my favorite personalities. You'll do great anywehere you go. Some how this had me tearing, long live Doublelift! Hope you are happy.
I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but your journey to get where you are was absolutely insane. Best of luck to everything you do in life. You'll definitely succeed at whatever you want to do
@@cyberpsykoh6686 He inspired me to enjoy life more with his funny charismatic attitude. The way he dealt with his hard times inspired me to be strong when I'm going through rough times as well. He is unapologetically himself even if it causes people to dislike him. Also, yes to play ADC. I became a fan because of his gameplay but the reason I stayed his fan till this day is because of the person he is.
I think people fail to recognize that doublelift went through a tragedy most pro-players will never go through. His brother killed his MOTHER and injured his father and he still continued on, bro is the definition of "thugging it out." A player that gave NA a chance at WORLDS and other adcs a run for their money at his age. As a former challenger player, it's insane to see him keep his edge as a top-tier adc at his age. The most respected NA adc by Faker... Doublelift is GOATED.
doublelift's story is one of the most motivation and inspirational stories in eSports. from being literally homeless to now making money people dream of. from going thru terrible family drama to now potentially starting one. you have given much such entertainment while I was a failure and have gotten so much more confidence after my career shift at the age of 30. you have inspired me to be better, not only in league (I main ADC), but also just life. excited to continue watching how your life will evolve over time! thank you
Damn we all knew it was inevitable but it's still bittersweet when it happens. I wish you luck in your future endeavours Doublelift. You made so much history not just for League but for gaming in general, now go make some history in the rest of life!
Man.... Him acknowledging that many of his fans are simply the same age and that we grew up together just hit different. I'm the same age as him and followed him all throughout high school. I was even playing against him, dyrus, Imaqtpie, aphromoo and many other pros at the time, when I was at the peak level of league for myself. Knowing he's done professionally is a chapter ending not just for him but for a lot that have followed him in the competitive scene.
Love watching you mature. I’m 30, too. It’s cool to understand and empathize with your maturity arch. I pray you get the family you deserve. You will make a great leader.
It has been an honor to see you play DL, I will never forget when you beat IG at MSI. You've always been able to bring that magic on the rift. Thank you for bringing so much to the scene. You will be missed sir
This is just beautiful. I'll miss my favorite streamers, you're all retiring, but I love the growth that you all have achieved. I am so happy to see the ups and downs of your lives, and seeing you move towards a new chapter of your life is just admiring. Thank you for being you, and being here providing us with your greatness. I'm so thankful to have watched you Yiliang.
This made me so emotional, as a season 1 player and follower of your career, you will be dearly missed DOUBLE!!! Thank you for your courage to share so much with us, and thank you for the memories. To the next chapter in your life!!!!
You were the reason I started playing league back in season 2, the reason I watched LCS from S2 til now, and as you grew up and matured, so did I. Love you Peter, and can’t wait for more content!
The TSM era was the best, NA was actually so fulfilled with it's fanbase with that team. The feeling I got from it back then can almost come back just thinking of it I wish we could go back, c'est la vie. You're an all time superstar of the NA scene, nothing will ever change that. Thanks for being you DL.
Hey Doublelift, As I sit here reflecting on the incredible journey you've taken us on, from high school to the biggest stages in esports, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude. Your performances, whether it was that jaw-dropping pentakill on CLG, the masterful kiting on TSM, or the historic Team Liquid victories when no one believed, have left an indelible mark on my heart. Being from Vancouver, I was initially drawn into the LCS world, but even after getting to know players like Faker, there was always something special about you that kept me hooked. Your resilience, skill, and passion for the game have been truly inspiring. Sure, the dream of winning Worlds might elude us, but in the grand scheme of things, it's the journey that matters most. We've witnessed your growth, celebrated victories, and faced challenges together. No journey is without its regrets, but isn't that what makes it all the more meaningful? You'll forever hold the title of TOP 1 ADC in my heart, and I'm sure many others feel the same. Your transition to content creation is exciting, and I have no doubt you'll continue to excel. Thank you, Doublelift, for being an integral part of my life's journey. Wishing you the best in all your future endeavors! Cheers to the memories and the legacy you've built. Good luck, and may your path ahead be as remarkable as the journey you've taken us on. With gratitude, the 15 yo me to the 26 yo me now
Damn, this got me. Thank you Doublelift for everything you have done for the community and myself! You impacted so many people in so many ways that you wouldn't believe, gave people many great memories of watching you and you're teams! Can't wait to see what this next chapter has for you!
Holy shit man. I’m 33. And seeing the in game clips of when you were winning lcs championships…my goodness man I saw all of those live. It just hit me how long I’ve been watching you play. Golly I appreciate you man. I was going to thru a dark time throughout my 20s. Watching you guys helped a lot. Thanks for being great
Like do you mind.. not making me cry here! Thanks for everything, one of my big idols in league, Always performs on top and always humble! I'm so glad that you want to pursue the content creation route and I will gladly be tagging along. Love you Peter
What a ride it has been. I was there watching every single one of your wins. I started watching LCS in season 3 and you became my instant favorite player and I followed you with whatever team you were on. It was so great to watch you every weekend. I still have my CLG and TL DLIFT jeserys (never was able to get a tsm one) That 2015 win in MSG is one of my favorite memories of just watching league and your career. Thank you
I’m so glad I got to meet you in Detroit and then watch you win my favorite team their fourth in a row. So fucking crazy. I hope you continue to find happiness. I’m going to miss you on stage but glad to get this video. You’re an inspiration.
It was really fun watching you all throughout the years! Here’s to hoping for more success in the next chapter of your life! Catch you on the next stream big man
DL you're definitely one of the Greatest players to play this game. You are a Legend to the League Community and we are always gonna miss your Plays. Thanks for all of the years of dedicating your life to this game.
@@vrmax1919 and I again I will reiterate, doesn't matter how "washed" you think he is. He made an impact on NA LoL regardless of being washed as you say. In NA he will go down a Legend of LoL.
as much as i want to see him hold that worlds cup, i still wanna see him more genuinely happy in what he wants to do... thank you Doublelift for making me love playin adc
Congratulations and thank you, Doublelift, for everything! I truly hope that you continue to thrive, find happiness, stay healthy, fulfilled, and surrounded by love. I have fond memories of growing up alongside you and other legendary players. It's truly sad to see everyone retiring one by one, including yourself (this time for real). As someone in their 30s, I made the decision to quit gaming over five years ago because there are so many other things in life to care about. Your statement about the expanding list ("Before the list ended at number one, and now there's number one, two, three, four and five...") really resonated with me. Anyway, I sincerely hope that you keep creating amazing content!
I don’t keep up with LCS as much, but I was there for the 2015 final. Thank you so much for one of the most fun live experiences I’ve had and for all the hype moments over the years
that tsm roster is so unforgettable... even their bts vlogs was so fun to watch , it honestly made me inlove with esports goodluck doublelift wherever ur career takes you
You were the main reason I was interested in LCS or league. Been a huge fan since you were in season 2 CLG, I remembered watching you with CLG, season after season, year after year until you finally won in 2015. The win felt like eternity. Then you kept winning and the once long empty trophy case filled up. To me, you were the greatest in LCS and you'll always be. All the best in whatever you may choose to do.
Was taken to watch League at movie theatre years ago and I remember you being the most memorable. Your comments were spot on as I am growing older with you and finding that it really is the journey that makes you happy not the destination. That being said, I am looking forward to your streams!
ive watched you and followed you to every team you've played on for years now... I'm going to miss you, not sure who to root for anymore or if I will even still watch lcs to be honest. Always a joy and every game felt like a win was possible when you were playing. Thanks for the good games and memories!
This hit so hard so probably more watchers than you realize. I love you and what you’ve done for this community and will be continuing to support everything you do.
Definitely. I don't even play anymore. I'm 30 just like him, this hits real hard and brought back tons of memories. The friends I had back then, everyone was so carefree, just living life, chilling with friends
I'm happy that you are happy with what you achieved. You were an amazing player. Hope you enjoy your life after retirement as well. It was a blessing to see your plays, thank you
Its kinda sad to see the big ones leave but I can totally relate to your decision and i hope for you guys that you now can finally look into the future and be excited to step into the next phase.
I'm 30 years old also and have been playing League since around Season 1. DL, its been a ride man. I've watched for so long and it has been an insane ride. I may have never known you, and may never will, but god does it feel like I do. We're not 20 year old kids trying to be adults anymore, were just straight up adults. We may not have grown up together, but we grew up at the same time. This video hits so hard on the note that feels like the rest of our lives. Thanks for showing the world everything you have shown so far, I can't wait for the rest of the journey and to keep growing up alongside the other amazing people at this same stage.
Thank you for being the reason I got into the LCS. From the lows of "Doublelift's non-existent trophy case", to the highs of 4 titles in a row at TL, you'll always be my NA GOAT.
You were always my favorite to watch on stage, I was always rooting for you, and you're my inspiration to keep playing league, we support you in any decision you make. Even with this video, I can't help but hoping you go back to TL on their current roster because that would be a sight to behold but. I also understand. We're gonna miss you big dog!
It's 2 am in Germany and I'm crying my eyes out. I started watching league season 2, became a CLG fan and Doublelift was always my favourite player. Accepting the dominance for TSM was hard for a while but I stuck with them until we won it back to back. Then I started working at stopped watching and playing league, so I have few memories of TSM doublelift and none of TL double, but watching this video brought so many memories together. I did grow up with him, and I feel so old now, but the love for the game never left. Seeing that pod with Scarra, Saint, voy and shiph was a big throwback. Thinking of the good ol' days made me realize how changed I am, and appreciate all what double did for me and the sport. Thank you man, it's a part of my life that is over and now is over for you too, wish you well for the next step. Forever CLG GOAT.
Two oceans away, in Hawai'i, know that I'm in the same spot. CLG and Doublelift are the pinnacle of American League personalities. I still wear my CLG kit when America plays at Worlds...
Your story reflects exactly what I hope to achieve some day, the ability to chose what makes me happy. I've followed you since I started playing league, TSM was THE TEAM to support. I hope that whatever you do next, you rock at it. Just know that we are all hoping the best for you. Even if it means stepping back from the competitive scene. You have done more than what the average player can do. Keep your head up.
No doublelift, thank you. I dream of becoming pro years and years. You are the one who got to live the dream for me. And for that its more than enough to be alongside your greatness. I wish nothing but the best on your endeavors ♡
Hey DL, im Dreeze played ARAM with you yesterday. You'll always be the ADC GOAT and my favorite player of all time. Super excited for what's next for you man!
Thank you for everything you have contributed. I learned playing Lucian by watching you when I was an 8th grader in school, I'm half way to my Junior year in college now. Ik we are all ver happy to be a part of your journey. You've been to some downs and unimaginable thing, yet you still kept your head up and you made it. We are so proud of you. Wish you achieve everything you wanted in your life.
You and bjergsen inspired me to be the person I am today, and I'm better for it. Thank you for your hard work and everything you've given to the community. It's insane to think that back then people making money playing games wasn't even a possiblity back then but you helped make it one, and it's what I've been trying to do ever since I first saw lcs in season 2.
Faker, Uzi and Doublelift where always the reason why I love playing league and watch worlds over and over again, wish you all the best brother in your next endeavors ❤
used to call you Doubletilt back in the days cause I was not an NA fan but watching this video I found out that we had a lot of similarities and I'm glad how you developed your character throughout the years. for me you will still go down as one of the legends of LCS, thank you for the blood, sweat and tears. I'm sure there's a lot in store for you, wishing you all the best and happiness in the world.
its so weird to me people are just against entire regions of the world... especially in gaming lol. Its like you see not a single one of the millions of players in NA as individuals, just a collective of sub humans playing the same game as you in a different part of the world.
Wow. That question at 10:16 really made me think. Doublelift, if you're reading this, thanks for being so genuinely grateful to the people that helped you get to where you are. I think you get pegged as an arrogant person because of your banter, but under the surface, you're actually so humble, it's awesome to see!
This is the most heart felt video @Doublelift has ever made and posted, you will definitely be missed on the big screen and I wish you the best in life and happiness always!! ❤😊
Thanks for everything you've done man. I was a fan when I was in highschool since S7 and you gave me something to look forward to every day. You've done well for yourself.
just saw this now, but man... glad i watched. I watched DL since I was in college during s1. DL was the best ADC with Chauster support. One of the only ADCs who could play vayne well. I watched every DL game, and followed you from CLG to TSM then to TL. It's been a journey. More than that, it's a pleasure to have watched you grow as a player and as a person. glad to see you are moving on to the next chapter. And don't forget, ... you did have international success! Beating IG at MSI was INSANE. Watched that series a few times...
As great as your league era is, your growth and maturity as a person shines above all else. You're truly a role model for appreciating what life has brought. I'm proud to be your fan, forever
Thank you for the inspiration and all you've done. I'm about the same age as you and started following you when I just got into college (when I got peer pressured into playing league) and you started to become really popular. I've also grown so much over the years and you've always been an inspiration throughout all of it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you Doublelift for being a part of the journey of how much this game has come. I’ve followed you since early CLG days and it’s sad to see you leave. Just know you will always be the GOAT of NA in my book and probably a bunch of others. Good luck on your next journey.
I am 25 yrs old now from Berlin and not even playing league anymore. Throughout highschool and college when I peaked plat I played ADC main and Doublelift was who I looked up to. Thanks for your inspiration bro, it was a legendary time
So much love for the Doublelift legacy 🙏 a hero of NA LCS taking his long earned rest. Thank you for all the time and effort you've put into this game and this community. So hyped for future content 🙌
Gosh i miss doublelift and aphromoo playing together it really was something extremely precious to watch back in the day. I hope that one day you guys can play together again. You two playing together was literally the highlight of some extremely dark times in my life after my grandma who raised me passed away. I have been watching and following you since your days on EG and you have always and forever been my favorite player. I keep that signed clg documentary poster near and dear to me. Thank you for everything youve done doublelift you can definitely be extremely proud of everything you have accomplished ❤
Great to see you move in life. It's always good to dream and complete the dream. You are on the right path and have been on the right path. Loved watching you play all along!
Thank you so much doublelift. Have been watching you since season 2. When I was like 13-14 and now I’m 24. I still remember when I was in school I kept supporting clg mainly because of you. And I was frustrated because all my friends supported tsm and they kept rubbing in the win whenever clg lost. Although you kept losing at that time I still supported you. But when finally you won in MSG the first time, I was so damn emotional😢 Probably the most memorable thing in my life. Also whenever you switched teams I always supported that team. Thank you for a decade worth of memories❤
thanks for everything doublelift ❤ you’re an inspiration and have truly left an incredible legacy in the LCS. congrats on this next chapter in your life-we’ll be there along with you :)
Thanks for making the LCS Finals one of if not the best eSports event Toronto had my guy, I don't think anyone here in Toronto will forget when you guys and TSM vs C9 here. You'll always be a icon to League and the scene appreciate that shi homie.
I don't even watch or play league anymore. Haven't for years. But you were the first player I supported way back in the early days of league and I have always rooted for you. Sad to see you go but I wish you the best of luck. You've done a lot for esports.
Gonna miss you Doublelift, thank you for all you have done for the game and the LCS🫶

This made me so emotional, as a season 1 player and follower of your career, you will be dearly missed DOUBLE!!! Thank you for your courage to share so much with us, and thank you for the memories. To the next chapter in your life!!!!
You were the reason I started playing league back in season 2, the reason I watched LCS from S2 til now, and as you grew up and matured, so did I. Love you Peter, and can’t wait for more content!
The TSM era was the best, NA was actually so fulfilled with it's fanbase with that team. The feeling I got from it back then can almost come back just thinking of it I wish we could go back, c'est la vie. You're an all time superstar of the NA scene, nothing will ever change that. Thanks for being you DL.
Hey Doublelift,
As I sit here reflecting on the incredible journey you've taken us on, from high school to the biggest stages in esports, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude. Your performances, whether it was that jaw-dropping pentakill on CLG, the masterful kiting on TSM, or the historic Team Liquid victories when no one believed, have left an indelible mark on my heart.
Being from Vancouver, I was initially drawn into the LCS world, but even after getting to know players like Faker, there was always something special about you that kept me hooked. Your resilience, skill, and passion for the game have been truly inspiring.
Sure, the dream of winning Worlds might elude us, but in the grand scheme of things, it's the journey that matters most. We've witnessed your growth, celebrated victories, and faced challenges together. No journey is without its regrets, but isn't that what makes it all the more meaningful?
You'll forever hold the title of TOP 1 ADC in my heart, and I'm sure many others feel the same. Your transition to content creation is exciting, and I have no doubt you'll continue to excel. Thank you, Doublelift, for being an integral part of my life's journey. Wishing you the best in all your future endeavors!
Cheers to the memories and the legacy you've built. Good luck, and may your path ahead be as remarkable as the journey you've taken us on.
With gratitude,
the 15 yo me to the 26 yo me now
Damn, this got me. Thank you Doublelift for everything you have done for the community and myself! You impacted so many people in so many ways that you wouldn't believe, gave people many great memories of watching you and you're teams! Can't wait to see what this next chapter has for you!
Holy shit man. I’m 33. And seeing the in game clips of when you were winning lcs championships…my goodness man I saw all of those live. It just hit me how long I’ve been watching you play. Golly I appreciate you man. I was going to thru a dark time throughout my 20s. Watching you guys helped a lot. Thanks for being great
What a fun career it's been to watch! Blessed to be a part of it.
Like do you mind.. not making me cry here! Thanks for everything, one of my big idols in league, Always performs on top and always humble! I'm so glad that you want to pursue the content creation route and I will gladly be tagging along.
Love you Peter
What a ride it has been. I was there watching every single one of your wins. I started watching LCS in season 3 and you became my instant favorite player and I followed you with whatever team you were on. It was so great to watch you every weekend. I still have my CLG and TL DLIFT jeserys (never was able to get a tsm one) That 2015 win in MSG is one of my favorite memories of just watching league and your career. Thank you
I’m so glad I got to meet you in Detroit and then watch you win my favorite team their fourth in a row. So fucking crazy. I hope you continue to find happiness. I’m going to miss you on stage but glad to get this video. You’re an inspiration.
It was really fun watching you all throughout the years! Here’s to hoping for more success in the next chapter of your life! Catch you on the next stream big man
DL you're definitely one of the Greatest players to play this game. You are a Legend to the League Community and we are always gonna miss your Plays. Thanks for all of the years of dedicating your life to this game.
??? Maybe in NA 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@vrmax1919 bro who are you xD thats the funny part. Imagine coming in here and spreading hate and negativity. You must be sad and lonely
@@AsaekHD people are acting like he was a legend tho he was good ik the early days but man has been washed for the last like 4 years
@@vrmax1919 and I again I will reiterate, doesn't matter how "washed" you think he is. He made an impact on NA LoL regardless of being washed as you say. In NA he will go down a Legend of LoL.
It’s beautiful to see you realize it truly is about the journey. You are a blessed man with your mindset. Pay it forward.
Started watching from the travis/CLG days! Thanks for all the great memories. From someone that just turned 30 as well. Thank you LiftLift
as much as i want to see him hold that worlds cup, i still wanna see him more genuinely happy in what he wants to do... thank you Doublelift for making me love playin adc
But you know an NA team would never ever get close to touching that again 😂
Legend. Thank you Doublelift. Inspirational story. Congrats on reaching happiness!
You mature alot Doublelift not gonna lie watched you since season 2 and it's been great watching you play!! all the best!!
good bye my friend, live your life like never before... thanks for everything... hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Congratulations and thank you, Doublelift, for everything! I truly hope that you continue to thrive, find happiness, stay healthy, fulfilled, and surrounded by love. I have fond memories of growing up alongside you and other legendary players. It's truly sad to see everyone retiring one by one, including yourself (this time for real). As someone in their 30s, I made the decision to quit gaming over five years ago because there are so many other things in life to care about. Your statement about the expanding list ("Before the list ended at number one, and now there's number one, two, three, four and five...") really resonated with me. Anyway, I sincerely hope that you keep creating amazing content!
I don’t keep up with LCS as much, but I was there for the 2015 final. Thank you so much for one of the most fun live experiences I’ve had and for all the hype moments over the years
that tsm roster is so unforgettable... even their bts vlogs was so fun to watch , it honestly made me inlove with esports
goodluck doublelift wherever ur career takes you
You were the main reason I was interested in LCS or league. Been a huge fan since you were in season 2 CLG, I remembered watching you with CLG, season after season, year after year until you finally won in 2015. The win felt like eternity. Then you kept winning and the once long empty trophy case filled up. To me, you were the greatest in LCS and you'll always be. All the best in whatever you may choose to do.
Was taken to watch League at movie theatre years ago and I remember you being the most memorable. Your comments were spot on as I am growing older with you and finding that it really is the journey that makes you happy not the destination. That being said, I am looking forward to your streams!
What a video man...
kinda grew at the same age when it all began..
made me emotional damn
ive watched you and followed you to every team you've played on for years now... I'm going to miss you, not sure who to root for anymore or if I will even still watch lcs to be honest. Always a joy and every game felt like a win was possible when you were playing. Thanks for the good games and memories!
This hit so hard so probably more watchers than you realize. I love you and what you’ve done for this community and will be continuing to support everything you do.
Would you like to buy back your soul?
@@daylifeyonahno but I’d like your mom 🤤😛
Definitely. I don't even play anymore. I'm 30 just like him, this hits real hard and brought back tons of memories. The friends I had back then, everyone was so carefree, just living life, chilling with friends
I'm happy that you are happy with what you achieved. You were an amazing player. Hope you enjoy your life after retirement as well. It was a blessing to see your plays, thank you
Its kinda sad to see the big ones leave but I can totally relate to your decision and i hope for you guys that you now can finally look into the future and be excited to step into the next phase.
I'm 30 years old also and have been playing League since around Season 1.
DL, its been a ride man. I've watched for so long and it has been an insane ride. I may have never known you, and may never will, but god does it feel like I do. We're not 20 year old kids trying to be adults anymore, were just straight up adults. We may not have grown up together, but we grew up at the same time. This video hits so hard on the note that feels like the rest of our lives. Thanks for showing the world everything you have shown so far, I can't wait for the rest of the journey and to keep growing up alongside the other amazing people at this same stage.
Gonna miss you on stage 😢 thanks for growing the sport and community
Thank you for being the reason I got into the LCS. From the lows of "Doublelift's non-existent trophy case", to the highs of 4 titles in a row at TL, you'll always be my NA GOAT.
You were always my favorite to watch on stage, I was always rooting for you, and you're my inspiration to keep playing league, we support you in any decision you make. Even with this video, I can't help but hoping you go back to TL on their current roster because that would be a sight to behold but. I also understand. We're gonna miss you big dog!
It's 2 am in Germany and I'm crying my eyes out. I started watching league season 2, became a CLG fan and Doublelift was always my favourite player. Accepting the dominance for TSM was hard for a while but I stuck with them until we won it back to back. Then I started working at stopped watching and playing league, so I have few memories of TSM doublelift and none of TL double, but watching this video brought so many memories together. I did grow up with him, and I feel so old now, but the love for the game never left. Seeing that pod with Scarra, Saint, voy and shiph was a big throwback. Thinking of the good ol' days made me realize how changed I am, and appreciate all what double did for me and the sport.
Thank you man, it's a part of my life that is over and now is over for you too, wish you well for the next step. Forever CLG GOAT.
Two oceans away, in Hawai'i, know that I'm in the same spot. CLG and Doublelift are the pinnacle of American League personalities. I still wear my CLG kit when America plays at Worlds...
Crying? Wut lol 😂
why the hell are you crying lmao
@@Chris-dj1wz why tf do u care? Men have emotions
@@sebastianiglesias4 if you're a real CLG fan you've definitely shed some tears 😆
Comes w the territory
Your story reflects exactly what I hope to achieve some day, the ability to chose what makes me happy. I've followed you since I started playing league, TSM was THE TEAM to support. I hope that whatever you do next, you rock at it. Just know that we are all hoping the best for you. Even if it means stepping back from the competitive scene. You have done more than what the average player can do. Keep your head up.
Its crazy to think how Doublelift's life is so different from us and yet he is still so relatable. I had a smile the entire video. Great video
No doublelift, thank you. I dream of becoming pro years and years. You are the one who got to live the dream for me. And for that its more than enough to be alongside your greatness. I wish nothing but the best on your endeavors ♡
Hey DL, im Dreeze played ARAM with you yesterday. You'll always be the ADC GOAT and my favorite player of all time. Super excited for what's next for you man!
One of if not the most iconic LCS players of all time . Enjoy life Peter
Thank you for everything you have contributed. I learned playing Lucian by watching you when I was an 8th grader in school, I'm half way to my Junior year in college now. Ik we are all ver happy to be a part of your journey. You've been to some downs and unimaginable thing, yet you still kept your head up and you made it. We are so proud of you. Wish you achieve everything you wanted in your life.
You and bjergsen inspired me to be the person I am today, and I'm better for it. Thank you for your hard work and everything you've given to the community. It's insane to think that back then people making money playing games wasn't even a possiblity back then but you helped make it one, and it's what I've been trying to do ever since I first saw lcs in season 2.
Faker, Uzi and Doublelift where always the reason why I love playing league and watch worlds over and over again, wish you all the best brother in your next endeavors ❤
yesss. thank you!
Caps is 100% part of that list. Guy is stupidly entertaining to watch because he isn't perfect, he makes mistakes but damn he's bold
not caps @@PerfectParry
@@YNWGrandfather ?
used to call you Doubletilt back in the days cause I was not an NA fan but watching this video I found out that we had a lot of similarities and I'm glad how you developed your character throughout the years. for me you will still go down as one of the legends of LCS, thank you for the blood, sweat and tears. I'm sure there's a lot in store for you, wishing you all the best and happiness in the world.
its so weird to me people are just against entire regions of the world... especially in gaming lol. Its like you see not a single one of the millions of players in NA as individuals, just a collective of sub humans playing the same game as you in a different part of the world.
Wow. That question at 10:16 really made me think.
Doublelift, if you're reading this, thanks for being so genuinely grateful to the people that helped you get to where you are. I think you get pegged as an arrogant person because of your banter, but under the surface, you're actually so humble, it's awesome to see!
This is the most heart felt video @Doublelift has ever made and posted, you will definitely be missed on the big screen and I wish you the best in life and happiness always!! ❤😊
Thanks for everything you've done man. I was a fan when I was in highschool since S7 and you gave me something to look forward to every day. You've done well for yourself.
Didn’t expect to cry today but here I am. One of the two legends that got me into League. Forever thankful!
just saw this now, but man... glad i watched. I watched DL since I was in college during s1. DL was the best ADC with Chauster support. One of the only ADCs who could play vayne well. I watched every DL game, and followed you from CLG to TSM then to TL. It's been a journey. More than that, it's a pleasure to have watched you grow as a player and as a person. glad to see you are moving on to the next chapter. And don't forget, ... you did have international success! Beating IG at MSI was INSANE. Watched that series a few times...
the best NA adcarry ever step on stage.
Status Legendary.
As great as your league era is, your growth and maturity as a person shines above all else. You're truly a role model for appreciating what life has brought.
I'm proud to be your fan, forever
Watching your climb and become the greatest of NA was a pleasure. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the scene 😢
Your a legend DL, always gonna be one of the greats of LCS and league as a whole thanks for all the entertainment ❤
Thank you for the inspiration and all you've done. I'm about the same age as you and started following you when I just got into college (when I got peer pressured into playing league) and you started to become really popular. I've also grown so much over the years and you've always been an inspiration throughout all of it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Best wishes to you! I've always enjoyed watching Doublelift compilations! :D
You went from the Villain of the LCS story to the Hero, slowly, just by growing as a person and a player. Truly legendary 👑
Congratulations on nothing short of an incredible career. Your performance in the 2018 Spring Finals is still mindblowing to me to this day.
Thank you Doublelift for being a part of the journey of how much this game has come. I’ve followed you since early CLG days and it’s sad to see you leave. Just know you will always be the GOAT of NA in my book and probably a bunch of others. Good luck on your next journey.
Naughty Peng Yilang is a legend! Thanks for all you’ve done for league DoubleLift
I am 25 yrs old now from Berlin and not even playing league anymore. Throughout highschool and college when I peaked plat I played ADC main and Doublelift was who I looked up to. Thanks for your inspiration bro, it was a legendary time
So much love for the Doublelift legacy 🙏 a hero of NA LCS taking his long earned rest. Thank you for all the time and effort you've put into this game and this community. So hyped for future content 🙌
You're a big inspiration Doublelift, thanks for everything ❤
Gosh i miss doublelift and aphromoo playing together it really was something extremely precious to watch back in the day. I hope that one day you guys can play together again. You two playing together was literally the highlight of some extremely dark times in my life after my grandma who raised me passed away. I have been watching and following you since your days on EG and you have always and forever been my favorite player. I keep that signed clg documentary poster near and dear to me. Thank you for everything youve done doublelift you can definitely be extremely proud of everything you have accomplished ❤
Damnit, making me cry. Been watching you since the very beginning Dlift, it has been a pleasure. Excited about your next chapter, I'll be watching!
Great to see you move in life. It's always good to dream and complete the dream.
You are on the right path and have been on the right path.
Loved watching you play all along!
Thank you so much doublelift. Have been watching you since season 2. When I was like 13-14 and now I’m 24. I still remember when I was in school I kept supporting clg mainly because of you. And I was frustrated because all my friends supported tsm and they kept rubbing in the win whenever clg lost. Although you kept losing at that time I still supported you. But when finally you won in MSG the first time, I was so damn emotional😢 Probably the most memorable thing in my life. Also whenever you switched teams I always supported that team. Thank you for a decade worth of memories❤
Proud to have seen you win your first title live. You have inspired me in my personal life through your perseverance. DL fanboy forever
thanks for everything doublelift ❤ you’re an inspiration and have truly left an incredible legacy in the LCS. congrats on this next chapter in your life-we’ll be there along with you :)
Thanks for making the LCS Finals one of if not the best eSports event Toronto had my guy, I don't think anyone here in Toronto will forget when you guys and TSM vs C9 here. You'll always be a icon to League and the scene appreciate that shi homie.
I don't even watch or play league anymore. Haven't for years. But you were the first player I supported way back in the early days of league and I have always rooted for you. Sad to see you go but I wish you the best of luck. You've done a lot for esports.
This made me cry. I can't wait to see what you can cook up for the future.
Cheers, Doublelift
