Key points
- Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng’s League of Legends accounts are being banned, according to him.
- He said the reason was due to some of his accounts used for content creation being bought from suspicious websites.
- Doublelift is considered one of the best AD Carries in the history of League of Legends.
Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng received news from a Riot developer during his stream who said that all his League of Legends accounts were being banned. The reason provided by Riot is that the accounts he’s been using for unranked to challenger videos were bought from suspicious websites.
Peng mentioned that he believes the punishment is fair and that he’s not going to do anything to avoid the Riot bans on his accounts. He said that when he bought those accounts from suspicious websites, he knew he was playing with fire but thought that he wouldn’t be the first one to be caught because there are a lot of people who do the same.
His accounts will be banned for three days, according to Peng. As such, he’s going to go for a “Riot-mandated vacation starting tomorrow.” He also said that Riot had told him the bans would start the following day to avoid banning him mid-stream.
Peng is considered one of the best AD Carries in the history of League of Legends. He has won LCS titles with teams such as Team SoloMid and Team Liquid.
While technically retired since 2020, he still competes, returning to play for Team SoloMid one more time in 2021 and then 100 Thieves in 2022. His latest endeavor with professional play was this year, when he played for Near Airport, an American team consisting of former pros.
