Doublelift is the best pro player that has ever played in the North American League of Legends Championship Series league, at least if you go by the number of titles he won. He started his career in Season 1 2010, 3 years before the inception of LCS.
His nickname comes from one of the basic card tricks performed by magicians. The trick boils down to moving two cards as if they were one and is the start of numerous magic tricks. Certainly, during his career, Doublelift was carrying for two, so his nickname seems very well placed.
Doublelift is known for his almost yearly AMA on Reddit. Here is a slight throwback to our favourite two responses from season 1. It was certainly a different time in gaming.
Doublelift was born on July 19, 1993. His real name is Yiliang "Peter" Peng (Chinese: å½äº¦äº® Péng Yìliàng). His parents were Chinese immigrants with a traditional view on a career path; meanwhile, Peter has always dreamed about being a pro player. Back then, playing the game was mainly seen as a waste of time and the same view was shared by Doublelift's parents. Thankfully his brother was a gaming geek, and he always had a decent PC in his house that he could practice on.
He was first introduced to video games through classic Nintendo 64 titles such as Star Fox and Golden Eye. After a while, his brother invested in his first PC, and since then, he has upgraded it every few years. Thanks to this, Peter could stay up to date with new releases by sharing the computer with his brother. Not long after, he got his own PC built from parts handed down to him.
His first games with an isometric camera were Diablo 1 and Starcraft. Later on, he played Defense of the Ancients, the most popular map for Warcraft 3, then switched to World of Warcraft and Heroes of Newerth.
Source on Doublelift's first games played from his first AMA. Contrary to what many sources will tell you, he has never played Dota 2. He only played the map to Warcraft 3 called Dota. Dota 2 was released in 2013 when he was already an established and well-known League of Legends pro player.
In the deep past of League of Legends, there was no established esports circuit before Riot Games started investing in Esports. Like we have now and no leagues or official tournaments. Instead, Riot Games partnered with companies that organised major tournaments. A little bit similar to how it's in Counter Strike Global Offensive.
As you can see in the screenshot from his AMA above his Team was APictureOfAGoose started by Atlanta.
Riot Games announced the first official tournament in 2011. Due to Saintvicious's absence, the squad recruited several substitute players, one of them being Doublelift. However, Peter was not quite ready to be unleashed on Summoners Rift, as he was spotted by HotShotGG and moved to CLG again as a substitute player.
He wanted to get actual practice and stage time, so he tried joining the Rock Solid team named after the most loved League of Legends champion, Malphite. Unfortunately, he was denied and ended up joining Epik Gamer. There he had an opportunity to play with another well-known NA pro player - Dyrus.
The team participated in Riot Season 1 NA Qualifiers for a spot in the first League of Legends World Championship. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to the world.
In the qualifier, which took place on 18 June 2011, Epik Gamer finished in fourth position. Epik Gamer won the group stage by going undefeated, beating All Authority, FnaticMSI, and Team Pacific in consecutive 3-0 wins. Epik Gamer would be seeded into the semifinals with their first-place finish, where they would face FnaticMSI and lose 0-2. A loss to Team SoloMid in the loser's bracket would send EG crashing to the bottom of the rankings.
After participating in Dreamhack 2011, when DoubleLift returned home, his parents disapproved of his lifestyle decisions, and they forced him to move out while being only 18 at the time. When asked to comment on the situation, he just said:
He shared more details in his dedicated Reddit thread about it: Hi I'm Doublelift, formerly of team EG, and today I became homeless. Fortunately, Travis Gafford let him stay at his place until he found a permanent team to provide him with housing. This act of kindness proved to be a seeding ground for a lifelong friendship which lasts to this day, at least as far as we know.
Following this humiliating setback, Doublelift switched teams to unRestricted, currently known as Curse Gaming. He didn't stay long; he arrived in July 2011 and was already recruited by CLG as their new starting AD Carry in November 2011. The spot for him was made by benching Elementz and moving Chauster to support. Peter Peng played support in all of his previous teams. He was noted for his off-meta picks, particularly Blitzcrank but also Poppy.
Here are his comments from the AMA about his playstyle.
For a long time, CLG was universally recognised as THE Doublelift squad. To begin with, this is the first team where he was the primary ADC rather than the support, and he remained with the organisation until 2015. During this time, he helped them win three LCS championships. Since Doublelift has been gone, the squad has never again been as powerful as before.
As a reminder, there was no regular season of LCS as we know it back in 2012 because LCS didn't exist yet. 2012 started with a win for CLG in NESL Premier League Season 2 playoffs. Shortly after, they attended LoLPro.com Curse Invitational and finished second.
For a month, they moved to Korea and lived in a gaming house to practice and participate in the Azubu tournament without much success and Leaguecraft ggClassic, where they placed fourth.
CLG, Dignitas, and Curse Gaming all participated in a massive roster shuffle back in May of 2012. Saintvicious departed CLG and joined Curse, jungler Crumbzz left Curse and joined Dignitas, and CLG acquired Dignitas top laner Voyboy and shifted HotshotGG to the jungle position.
CLG's new roster helped the team finish in second place at the 2012 Major League Gaming - Spring Championship in June and third place at the GIGABYTE Esports LAN.
Here are some thoughts of Doublelift on his current team at the time.
In Worlds 2012, the team didn't have much luck, but truth be told, NA teams never had good luck or success in Worlds. They didn't advance out of groups and won only against SK gaming by running 3 teleports and 3 promote summoner spells.
This is when League of Legends esports starts to feel familiar with what we know. The first actual LCS season was divided into spring and summoner splits. CLG also gets the first real dedicated support player - Aphromoo, known for his Alistar.
While this season didn't bring a lot of fortune to CLG, they finished as a mid-tier team and haven't qualified for the world championship of 2013. It did bring the most amazing meme to life.
Plenty of gold to be found in this interview. Travis set up Doublelift and Officer Caitlyn cosplayer for a date, but the two failed to click.
Even now, we can tell that Peng does not find this interview very satisfying.
But it does reveal how he evolved from when he was a timid Asian man who spent all his time playing video games. To understand the difference it’s good to know the story when he finally met his team from season 1 in person for the first time, he hardly said hello, as he admitted in his AMA. Even if his conversational skills weren't at their peak at the end of Season 3, he had come a long way by then.
Doublelift also learnt how to interview fans. I'm sure it helped him a lot with streams and chat interaction.
Season 3 was a tumultuous moment for CLG. They attempted to relocate Chauster. Aphromoo was taken off the CLG roster in May 2013. This was part of a big set of changes that included Nientonsoh joining the team on the top lane, Chauster switching to support, HotshotGG leaving the team, and bigfatlp moving to the jungle. This went wrong fairly quickly in November of the same year Aphromoo was back in the team, and Chauster retired. Bigfatlp moved to a sub position, and Dexter joined as a new jungler.
This was the pivotal moment in Doublelift's career. After joining Aphromoo, they were considered the strongest North American duo lane.
Although destined for greatness, this squad didn't perform as well as many expected. They had a strong beginning in the 2014 LCS spring split, placing third after losing to TSM in the semifinals. For a long time in game 3, it looked like Doublelift could carry his team. However, his mid-laner Link got thresh hooked, which resulted in a big gold swing that eventually decided the game.
From there, the squad slowly imploded and placed 6th in the Summer of 2014. This was another year where Doublelift didn't qualify for worlds.
This season started with a little bit of controversy. Doublelift, like many other well-known pros, was involved in a poaching situation. Poaching, in the context of competitive esports, refers to the practice of a well-known player approaching someone on behalf of his team. If the player's present team doesn't provide permission for contact, it's against the league rules.
However, Riot Games is usually very lenient, and the situation ended with a slap on the wrists. Doublelift was fined $2,500, and CLG was fined $2,000. For the first week of the 2015 LCS Spring Split, CLG was also prohibited from fielding ZionSpartan as either a player or a coach.
This hasn't really ruined their plans. They went 1-1 in the first week, starting Benny instead of ZionSpartan.
From there, CLG was slowly picking up steam. Spring might not have been the best for them. They qualified for Spring Playoffs but dropped right after in the quaterfinals in deciding a 0-3 loss to Team Liquid.
However, summer was theirs for the taking. They swept out every team and ended up winning 3-0 in Summer 2015 Playoffs and qualified for the Worlds Championships. It seems like the missing ingredient for Doublelift to win was a mid laner who doesn't get randomly hooked. Thankfully after the spring playoffs, Pobelter joined CLG and lifted the Summer trophy with them. If you think about it, Doublelift's career might have gone very differently if not for this win. Until then, he was considered a good player but someone whose teams always choked in deciding matches in playoffs or qualifiers for Worlds. Even Doublelift's friend, Travis Gafford, mentions this at the beginning of the post-final interview. Watch it below.
In this emotional interview, Doublelift even mentions that he was considering retiring this season, but their new head coach, Chris "Blurred Limes" Ehrenreich convinced him to give it one more season. With their new analyst Zikz and Chris breathed a new spirit into the team. They turned seasonal soloq players like Pobelter and Doublelift into a team. In the video, they both talk about how important it was to go from being players to good teammates who can give and take criticism and still trust each other.
Even though the team had meaningful results and looked really dominant, they haven't had any significant results in the Worlds Championship. However, it's worth noting that no NA team has ever had any.
During the preseason, it was announced both Pobelter and Doublelift would depart from the team. Doublelift landed a spot in the NA's most established team at the time - Team Solo Mid.
Doublelift was regarded as the top ADC in North America and, without a doubt, the strongest NA native carry player at the start of 2016. He was set up for success with the current lineup. Great things were expected from the Team of Hauntzer, Svenskeren, Bjergsen, and Yellowstar (Kasing before and during IEM San Jose). Still, the season didn't go as planned. As common with a squad of prominent players, the team has experienced internal personality difficulties. They had a 50% victory rate over the first three weeks of the LCS. At the moment, it appeared that TSM was poised to have their worst playoff performance in NA LCS history.
Fortunately, TSM brought in Weldon, a renowned sports psychologist who, like Chris's coach at CLG, assembled a team out of disparate players. The squad quickly recovered, defeating Cloud9 3-1 in the quarterfinals and then crushing Immortals 3-0 in the semis. At the Spring finals, TSM had to face a dominant Doublelift's ex-team - CLG. Ultimately CLG won in a close 3-2 match and ended TSM's wonder run.
After the finals, a legendary support player Yellowstar departed from TSM and returned to Europe due to homesickness and not being comfortable in his current role. Perhaps a toxic management that no one spoke about played a part in his decision? European players and employees are not used to a treatment that American corporations deem completely appropriable. Yellowstar returned to his previous team Fanatic.
After a Korean boot camp, it was announced that Biofrost, an LCS rookie, would join TSM. A lot at the time doubted choosing an unknown rookie to fill the shoes of a legendary player like YellowStar. However, very soon, Biofrost proved all his doubters wrong, and TSM had one of the most dominant seasons in the organisation's history. They didn't lose a single series until week 8 of the summer split and swept through playoffs, dropping only one game to C9 in the finals.
Per tradition, TSM has not had any meaningful successes during the Worlds Championship and dropped out without advancing to the knockout stage. It's worth noting that they had an exceptionally hard group with Samsung Galaxy, Royal Never Give Up and Splyce.
During preseason Doublelift decided to take a break from professional play to relax from almost 6 years of constant competition. He already thought about it in season 5. After winning the Summer Playoffs for the second time, he decided now it was the time. He communicated on Reddit that professional League of Legends is not like many people imagine it to be: you either practice 16 hours a day or lose. In fact, many pros grind their asses out and end up with no meaningful results. It's also worth noting that there is little to no downtime between professional games if you qualify for the Worlds Championships.
Bjergsen on what he thinks about Doublelift leaving in 2017
Bjergsen on what he thinks about Doublelift leaving in 2017
Doublelift was still under TSM's contract but as a streamer. He could return at any moment if he went through the tryouts again. WildTurtle took his place for the time being. In 2017, he was loaned to Team Liquid to save them from being demoted to the Challenger Series.
WildTurtle finally moved to Flyquest during Summer Split, while Doublelift returned to TSM. They still won convincingly, but the team was not the same as before. This was Doublelift's third playoff victory.
TSM qualified for the World Championships and was placed in the easiest of four groups, along with Flash Wolves, Misfits, and Team WE. Once again, failure to advance to the knockout stage.
TSM most certainly chose to discontinue Doublelift due to these recurring failures. Fortunately, he had little trouble joining a new team. Steve from Team Liquid secured him a seat on their squad, which needed dependable players to help establish their brand. Doublelift was certainly one of the most reliable players at the time. He even had a Riot Games official video made for him to hype him up for Worlds.
This season Peng seemed to have all stars aligning in his favour. He reunited with his ex-Counter Logic Gaming teammates Pobelter and Xmithie, with whom he lifted his first LCS Trophy. They had a decent showing in the Spring Split. Team Liquid dropped only 8 games and won 12, securing the Playoffs and landing short on former Team, TSM. Team Liquid cruised through the playoffs like a hurricane defeating Cloud9 3-0 and dropping only a single game against EchoFox in the semis. This was the first final for a new organisation. It all seemed to be a combination of Doublelift and his ex-CLG teammates…
Then a week before the finals, the league community was shaken by the news of Peng's mother, Wei Ping Shen, murder by his older brother; his father was wounded but recovered. We do not know the reason for the incident, but it started with an altercation and ended with a fatal stabbing wound. It's easy to speculate what might have happened based on the strict upbringing that Doublelift received, and most likely, his brother was not spared of that either. However, respecting the wishes of Peng, we will not do that. Whatever might have happened was not a justified reason for violence.
Tons of support was offered, and a lot of people were saying that if Doublelift ended up with a severe decrease in performence, he could not have been blamed. However, nothing like this happened. Team Liquid announced his will to participate in the final and cleanly swept the challenging 100 Thieves in a convincing 3-0 fashion.
2018's summer split saw Doublelift and Team Liquid continue their Spring Split success. Team Liquid won the regular season by a single game more than Cloud9, earning them the top seed, a first-round bye, and an automatic spot in the playoffs. Doublelift and team liquid swept their series with 100 Thieves, 3-1, and advanced to face Cloud9 in the finals.
Doublelift finally  won the NA LCS summer split MVP award the day before the finals. This is the first time he's won the MVP.
Team Liquid won their second consecutive North American LCS championship with a 3-0 sweep of Cloud9 in the finals and high hopes for a good performance at Worlds 2018.
Sadly as always, the year ended for them anticlimactically. They didn't make it to the knockout stage during the Worlds Championship.
Steve from Team Liquid is a dedicated guy. His team went from the brink of elimination right before franchising the league to two consecutive wins and now aiming for a third one. To guarantee not only LCS wins but also good showing in Worlds Championships, Team Liquid picked up former world champion CoreJJ to support role and replaced Pobelter with Jensen. While the latter might not be seen as such a huge improvement to some, CoreJJ is undoubtedly one of the best support players even now after so many years.
With their overhauled lineup, Team Liquid went 14-4 throughout the 2019 Spring Split and met Doublelift's previous Team, TSM, in the finals. Team Liquid beat TSM in a reverse sweep after losing the series' first two games and looking like they were about to be eliminated. This was Doublelift's sixth championship and third in a row.
Team Liquid had a rough start in the group stage of MSI 2019, despite their good performance in the LCS Spring playoffs. However, they finished the group stage well and earned a fourth-place seed for the playoffs.Doublelift advanced through the preliminary round of a major international competition for the first time ever.Doublelift advanced through the preliminary round of a major international competition for the first time ever. Team Liquid, the No. 4 seed, shocked the world by sweeping the defending world champions Invictus Gaming in a best-of-four series. Team Liquid made it to the finals, where they were beaten by G2 Esports in a 3-0 rout.This is the highest international success achieved by North American Team to this day.
Team Liquid struggled initially to the 2019 LCS Summer Split, going 2-2, matching them for fourth place. This followed a disastrous performance at MSI 2019. But they recovered and were in their first position in a matter of weeks. With a 14-4 LCS record, they repeated as champions. After a hard-fought five-game series in the summer playoffs, Liquid prevailed over Clutch Gaming and earned a spot at Worlds 2019. They made it to the summer LCS playoffs finals, where they faced the number two seed, Cloud9.
Game 1 went to Liquid. However, the team dropped Games 2 and 3 of their series with Cloud9. Liquid won games 4 and 5 to secure their fourth straight LCS triumph and Doublelift's eighth overall. Doublelift, at that point, has now earned the most North American League Championship Series titles of any player in the league's history.
Liquid's performance at Worlds 2019 was underwhelming, ending in a 3-3 record and an early elimination in the group stage for the second year.
After another Team Liquid's failure at Worlds, Steve was posing to make more changes to his team. First, they removed Xmithie, Doublelifts old teammate, and signed Broxah. At first, their bad results were somewhat justified by Broxah's issues with his visa, but when he finally got to NA, the returning champions still couldn't find their form.In week 7, Peter got benched in favour of TL's Academy ADC, Tactical.
When asked to comment on why he got benched Doublelift said:
"I'm benched because I had no motivation until very recently. Being sick and unable to compete gave me my passion back, but too late. I'm sorry towards every one of my teammates, and I'll be working from now on to regain their trust." ~ Doublelift 2020
This seemed like a returning pattern, first at TSM and now in TL. Peng seemed like the kind of person who could only be happy if he competed in a good team, but at the same time, after so many years, he had no motivation to continue the grind. This has always happened after disappointing losses in Worlds and at the beginning of Spring. The only thing keeping him in the game after winning everything in his own region is the hope of doing well at Worlds, but that seems like a pipe dream when the season starts in the Spring.
Perhaps in a quest to find a team that can achieve his dream, he Team Liquid traded Doublelift to TSM. He once again joined a team of Bjergsen and Biofrost for the Summer Split. This time they had a young and promising jungler, Spica.
They were set to a rocky start with Doublelift lacking motivation and a rookie in the Jungle.
Sceptics said their regular split record didn't do justice to the team's real performance level, and that their victories weren't impressive enough to warrant their position as the LCS's third-best team. Towards the middle of the Split, team subbed Biofrost for a TSM Academy support Treatz, claiming improved communication and maybe improved playmaking as the reasons for the switch. TSM maintained their winning record in the second half of the Split, going 6-3. There was widespread agreement that Doublelift's play this summer was below average compared to his years of domination in the past. TSM had a 12-6 record at the end of the regular season, good enough for fourth place.
As the playoffs began, TSM was the fourth seed and would face the fifth-seeded Golden Guardians in the top bracket of the double-elimination competition. Despite predictions of a close series, Golden Guardians shockingly won the best-of-three against TSM with a score of 3-0. The TSM bot lane was seen as the team's weak link. After being eliminated in the first round, the squad brought back Biofrost to replace Treatz. The decision was justified in part by the fact that Doublelift and Biofrost already work well together, especially during the laning phase. With the number eight seed, TSM would face off against Team Dignitas in the elimination bracket's lower half. As was predicted, TSM easily defeated Dignitas. TSM's rematch with the Golden Guardians in the second round of the lower bracket was made necessary by the team's loss against Team Liquid. While Golden Guardians stole the series' first two games, TSM returned with a 2-0 victory because of stellar play from Bjergsen, Spica, and Brokenblade. As the playoffs continued into a conclusion, TSM took on Cloud9 for a spot in the 2020 World Championships. TSM defeated Cloud9 3-1. After Team Liquid's upper bracket loss to FlyQuest, Doublelift had to face his former squad if he wanted to continue on to the summer split finals. After a hard-fought five-game series, TSM came out on top, 3-2. Improved performance by Doublelift was acknowledged as a significant factor in the victory by the critics. In the grand finals, TSM battled FlyQuest and emerged victorious in a hard-fought five-game series, 3-2.
Doublelift won his eighth North American League of Legends championship with this victory. Thus pushing his own record further.
Now finally, with the Worlds Championship starting again, Doublelift's dream was within arm's reach, but it was quickly shattered. With around a 10% win ratio in scrims and lacklustre results on stage, the team ended their group run with a 0-6 record. This was a time when NA earned their nickname of Near Airport region. This was the weakest performance of any 1st seed team in Worlds history and, certainly, one that can not be beaten.
Yet again, Doublelift announced his retirement to dedicate his time to his girlfriend Leenah, TSM's exec at the time, and to a full-time streaming career.
Based on Doublelift's life history, it would be hard to anticipate that he can last a long time as "only a streamer".
During 2020 Peng went from 5-8k average viewers to almost 20k viewers and over a million followers in total. He still is one of the most popular League of Legends streamers.
It's funny because this was probably the most scandalous 2 years, with G2 and TSM both imploding and losing their CEO/Founders, and Doublelift played not a small part in it.
First, his chat asked him if he got any offers from TSM. He went on a small rant about Andy "Reginald" Dinh on stream.
As most bullies do, Reginald reacted emotionally and shortly after made a Reddit post on /r/TSM. It seems that this is what Doublelift was only waiting for because he made a 30-minute video explaining why Andy is toxic.
This opened a floodgate of users finding examples of toxicity from Andy first to Bjergsen (a TSM coach at the time of the tweet) and later to more people.
Doublelift said that back in season 10, he met with Walter and Soren Bjergsen about how to keep Andy away from the team because he makes them all depressed before playoffs.
A clip of Andy's toxicity that was perhaps the most influential was an old clip back when Dyrus was a starting top laner for TSM. This was playing into the hands of Doublelift and his fans.
Shortly after his flame to Wildturtle ran circles around the community.
It's hard to disagree with Doublelift's statement:
A master of PR, Andy tried to spin it the other way around and hired a third-party law firm to conduct an "investigation". Surprise, surprise, TSM came to a conclusion after investigating themselves that they found nothing wrong.
The poisonous status of Andy "Reginald" Dinh has been widely speculated upon and is now proven. In July 2022, after conducting their investigation, Riot Games found Reginald guilty of persistent harassment toward its gamers and other staff members. He was fined $75,000 and required to undergo sensitivity training. Unfortunately, it seems like this is the norm in the business sector, even if the punishment barely amounts to more than a slap on the wrists. Nonetheless, TSM went from being widely regarded as a top organisation for professional gamers to being widely reviled.
Doublelift also ran a successful podcast called Trash Talk, inviting prominent figures from the esports world. A lot of the time, his GF, Leena, was setting up podcast guests for him. With her and his influence, they had no problems inviting notable names like Carlos from G2, Joe Marsh from T1 and Steve from Team Liquid.
The CEO episode where they appear is nearly 2 hours long. When you start watching it, there is an apparent difference between Steve, Joe and Carlos. Carlos seems rugged up and a bit over-excited. I would have said he's a bit too stimulated if I didn't know any better. Anyway, I'm mentioning it because, during the podcast, the T1 trucks controversy came up.
For those who do not know, T1 fans were buying trucks with banners demanding changes in the teams' staff. Carlos had some strong opinions about that and said:
"Mate Joe. You know if I Were you. Actually, Oh my god, I would love to be in this position. Oh my god, one day, g2 fans demand I leave my role as G2 CEO. I would make the biggest middle finger content. Like I would not give a single isolated fuck."
If you have time to watch, it notice how others react while he says it. Maybe T1 fans are deranged, but at that moment, Carlos was even more deranged than them. Not realising the fans are who make or break any team.
This macho posturing was nothing else but posturing. When Carlos got into a controversial situation by partying with an alleged human trafficker and controversial person, Andrew Tate. At first, Carlos tried to play his macho card by saying:
It appears that someone will police that. After 8 days, he was forced to step down as the CEO of G2.
Somehow, Doublelift makes waves no matter what happens in his life. Immediately after quitting professional esports, he became a major League of Legends streamer and a pioneer in numerous community-entertaining scenarios. The Reginald and Ocelote situations are just examples. If you want to find more, it's as easy as watching his Trash Talk podcast or some of his VoDs from that time.

Doublelift and Bjergsen's surprising return to 100 Thieves during the season 13 previews drew positive reactions from fans. Only time will tell whether this is another successful run for an LCS trophy. The Spring Split started for them as it often does for Peng's Team, with minor setbacks. They are the middle of a pack team, but knowing Peter, he will be back in full-force in Summer to make his Worlds dream come true.
Here are all the achievements of Doublelift as of the time of writing this article (March 2023):
| Year | Title won | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 1st place in NA LCS Summer Split | CLG |
| 2016 | 1st place in NA LCS Summer Split | TSM |

Without a shadow of a doubt, Doublelift is the best North American League of Legends player ever. He hasn't achieved anything on the world stage, but neither has any North American team or player. Nonetheless, he was a force to be reckoned with in the North American League Championship Series (NA LCS) from season 5 onward. It now appears certain that the team he is a part of will win the Summer Split and get the number one seed at Worlds.
Maybe you think he's a choker and that any chance he has at making it big on the world stage is already a lost cause. Suppose you've been following the scene for any length of time. In that case, you'll remember that Doublelift wasn't always viewed as the undisputed North American Championship Series (LCS) champion.
There is no question in our minds that Peter Peng will welcome any chance to compete with the best in the world and prove his doubters wrong one more time.
