Doublelift JUST retired.

You obviously didn't understand what he said.

As a correction, DL is taking the spring split off to rest. He will be returning for summer split and will help out with tryouts in the comming weeks

Did you watch the video? He said he's taking a break and will come back in the summer.

"Taking a break". Alright, the question now is what the hell is he thinking? Are TSM not paying him enough to stick around for two splits? Does the appeal of having free time to do other things really beat the appeal of playing on the big stage (He'll probably still play a ton of league on break or not)? Is this a ploy to get All-Star votes? Was not making it past groups at World's and being one of the main reasons for that really make him feel so ashamed that he can't even face his team mates again?

Not going to lie this sucks big time as a fan; I don't know how TSM will react or how they will play without D-L but honestly Bjergsen now needs to step it up and actually CARRY similar to 2014.
Bjergsen has been somewhat mid par for his standards and you could really notice Bjergsen taking a back seat to DL for the whole year.
He would play supportive type of champions or role and that's needs to change not just for NA as he has done it before but if TSM ever wants to go for in the International stage they need Bjergsen to go off.

Thanky you Doublelift for the memories and Hope to see you back during the Summer #Rest up; will need you for WORLDS 2017

Any word on who will replace D-Lift?? Rumors?

After playing 6 years, I could understand if he doesn't come back in Summer and decides to just stream or look at other ways to participate.
