In what was widely recognized as a two-horse race for best marksman in North America, Yiliang “ Doublelift ” Peng found himself third. Some could argue, it was a relief. Some could argue that it was expected. And the cynic could argue it wasn’t earned.

In his first split of competitive

since his unceremonious exit from TSM in 2020, he received six “Player of the Game” awards and his performance in the final two weeks dramatically shifted the story on 100 Thieves’ split from a disappointment to a third-place regular season finish. Balancing the life he had built as a content creator with a return professional play and the addition of drama with his past was a heavy ask.

To his credit, Peng has handled it better than most could ever dream of.

There was the reality that the split ended on a sour note. Golden Guardians’ would eliminate the team in five games and the final moment featured his

ill-fated attempt to secure additional creeps

being punished, leading to the team’s nexus falling. If matters could not get any worse, his partner-in-crime Søren “ Bjergsen ” Bjerg retired.

100 Thieves will enter the summer split with a new look – featuring a new top laner, a mid laner and a new head coach. Yet the expectation will be fairly similar to the start of the spring and the eyes will still be on Doublelift.
