After tragedy struck Team Liquid player Yililang "Doublelift" Peng's family, it became unclear if the talented AD carry would play for Team Liquid in the NA LCS Spring Finals.
Today, Team Liquid Owner Steve Arhancet announced on his Twitter account that he had spoken to AD carry Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, and he has told Arhancet that he is going to be playing with Team Liquid in the North American League Championship Series Spring Finals.

Until now, the League of Legends community did not know if Doublelift was going to compete with his team in the organization's first appearance in a NA LCS Final, as tragedy struck Doublelift and his family when his older brother, Yihong Peng, was arrested and charged with murder for allegedly stabbing their mother to death and severly injuring their father.
100 Thieves will be waiting for the Team Liquid roster after defeating Clutch Gaming in the semifinals. Team Liquid had qualified for the championship match after defeating Echo Fox in the semifinals this past weekend. The NA LCS Spring Finals will be taking place in Miami, Florida on April 8th at 4:00 PM EST.
