The next year, his stream was going so well that he continued to be a streamer. But the return of live in-person events restored his competitive itch, so he decided to return to pro play for 2023.
  • During that time, he was also co-streaming LCS, often alongside Sneaky and Meteos, and the three of them were known as the “tricast”.
  • At the end of 2023, Doublelift decided to retire for good, wanting to move on to the next chapter of his life. He plans to continue being part of the League community with streaming and making content.
