Doublelift Gives Emotional Interview After Elimination from LoL Worlds

The quest for Team Liquid to capture a League of Legends World Championship has ended with North America's first seed being eliminated from Worlds 2018 on Tuesday, October 16th. Although Team Liquid came into Worlds 2018 as the top team from North America, the League of Legends roster for the popular esports organization was unable to make its way out of groups with a KT Rolster loss to EDG sealing the fate of the organization and eliminating them from the tournament.

Participating in an interview after being eliminated from Worlds 2018, Team Liquid ADC player Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng gave an emotional response regarding the fate that Team Liquid had suffered. 

"I think it's good to have high expectations of the teams you want to see succeed. It is unacceptable that I go to Worlds every year as the first seed, and I shit the bed, and I just never perform, and my team never makes it out of groups and ya I mean. Jesus, I didn't think I was going to get emotional actually," said Doublelift. 

"It's been eight years and I can't do this thing," Doublelift continued. "But, I'm never going to give up, so that is what I want to say." 

Doublelift has been a longtime veteran of the North American League Championship Series (NA LCS) and has consistently captured multiple NA LCS titles and first seed placements for Worlds. Unfortunately, the talented ADC player has yet to have a strong showing at Worlds with his team's elimination from Worlds 2018 being the latest early exit from the prestigious League of Legends tournament for Doublelift. 

However, as Doublelift stated in his emotional interview above, the talented ADC player will not be giving up his dream of securing a League of Legends World Championship anytime soon with himself and the rest of the Team Liquid NA LCS team likely to return next year to make another run for a Worlds title.
