100 Thieves' Doublelift hospitalized due to internal bleeding
LCS veteran player Yiliang 'Doublelift' Peng announced on his Twitter on July 22nd that he had been hospitalized.
Community Outreach
With this tweet, the LCS community began to pile questions of concern and worry as to what was happening with Doublelift. Many of them wished him a speedy recovery in hopes to play for this coming week of Playoffs.
Former President of TSM and Doubelift's long-term partner, Leena Xu, responded to one of the tweet's replies stating that the star ADC has been diagnosed with "gastrointestinal bleeding".
In another response made by Xu stated that Doublelift has "had internal bleeding for about a week" and that the couple were not aware of it.
Competitive Impact
100 Thieves in the last week of the regular season had a score of 1-3 resulting in their final score being 7-12. While they placed 8th and are qualified for playoffs, it is undetermined whether Doubelift was impacted gameplay-wise in that week due to his health issue.
In his four games last week, he had a KDA of 3/3/2 on day 1 in his loss to Dignitas, 4/2/5 on day 2 in a win against NRG, 3/0/6 in a loss to the Golden Guardians and 1/3/4 in a tiebreaker loss against Dignitas on day 3, averaging 3.5 KDA.
While 100T has yet to make a statement on the situation, it is unknown whether Doublelift will continue to play for this playoffs or if he will be rotated out.
