Doublelift pulls off insane quadkill vs DAMWON at Worlds 2019 RiotIn their first match of League of Legends World Championships is already producing some big plays. In the closing moments of the DAMWON vs Team Liquid match in Group D, Liquid\u2019s trusted late-game carrier Doublelift delivered an extraordinary play to seal it for the top-seeded North American team. Despite losing Jake \u2018Xmithie\u2019 Puchero early in that teamfight, Liquid dealt so much damage to the enemy team that DAMWON tried to run away. But Doublelift smelled blood in the water and flashed in to pick off the two players on their last bit of health, and then chased down the other two to secure the quad-kill and the team ace. With all of DAMWON dead with at least 30 seconds before any of them could resurrect, Liquid marched down the midlane and broke down the enemy team\u2019s base to take the match, and move to a 1-0 record in Group D. The quadkill from Doublelift and subsequent victory for Team Liquid sent Twitter into an absolute frenzy. LCS reporter Travis Gafford successfully backed up his prediction that Liquid was going to prove that the Worlds theme \u201cPhoenix\u201d is about them. \u201cI told you,\u201d he tweeted. Gafford\u2019s Worlds theme parody co-star, avid Team Liquid fan and LCS interviewer Ovilee May expressed her excitement for Liquid and the North America region as well. \u201cFIRST WIN OF GROUPS,\u201d she tweeted. \u201cLET\u2019S GO NA!\u201d FIRST WIN OF GROUPS EZPZ LETS FUCKING GO @TeamLiquidLoL LETS FUCKING GO NA!#WORLDS2019 #LCS #TLWIN \u2014 Ovilee May (@OvileeMay) October 12, 2019 But the Doublelift play and the Team Liquid victory weren\u2019t the only things gaining Twitter traction, as several people honed in on Jung \u2018Impact\u2019 Eon-yeong\u2019s ponytail. The official G2 Esports account hailed it as the \u201creal MVP\u201d of the match, and ESPN Esports writer Tyler \u2018FionnOnFire\u2019 Erzberger created a clever rhyme to celebrate the terrific game Impact had. \u201cTHESHY OUTDATED, NUGURI OVERRATED, FOR SO LONG WE\u2019VE WAITED, IMPACT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED,\u201d he tweeted.

Liquid had a poor performance in the group stage of last year\u2019s Worlds, and in 2019, a magical run at the Mid-Season Invitational came to a crashing halt in the grand finals, where they lost an embarrassing 3-0 series to G2. With the exception of the very first Worlds in 2011, when Doublelift played for Epik Gamer, he has never made it out of the group stages of Worlds. A North American team has also never finished at the top of their group. With a 1-0 start for Liquid, they are on the right track to erase both curses, but it\u2019s still a long way to go.
