Doublelift answered the questions pretty well. On the other hand, the guy handing out the questions found some really douche-y questions to ask.

[@Pipisme]

Well its his job, the interview writter's made the question, the interviewer just has balls to ask the questions.

[@akifcevik2272]

"I'd still be fat and ugly". You're right, you're not fat anymore. Much love, Double

[@timyt394]

He's a lot more humble, and I enjoyed learning that side of him. I didn't know about his hard past. Thanks for uploading

[@jonmakack1905]

Doublelift isn't even that arrogant, he simply has a good, honest view of his own skill and those of others, and isn't afraid to let others know his opinion. Great player.

[@yilingl.8756]

This interviewer is -- ugh. Doublelift handled it REALLY well.

[@mohussain99]

Every time I watch Doublelift talk/his interviews I gain respect for him. He's actually a legit guy.

[@sketch3744]

"I was an ugly awkward nerd with no money" XD

[@NullfireEQG]

Im a Gambit Gaming fan, but Doublelift's hardwork deserves a gold. He's a nice guy too. I think.

[@Rohen17]

doublelift is a pathetic, arrogant kid

[@KibaNoTsubasa]

Rohen17 Pathetic? He left his home and realized he had nothing else but to game. He made himself a great player, to the point he has been able to and now is still able to seriously compete as a professional. He has arrogance, yes, because he has confidence in himself. And he rightfully has that confidence because he has the skill to back it up. How would you fare in that situation? Granted, your personality is probably different, so I wouldn't know if you are arrogant. But would you be able to accomplish what he did? He pushed himself and got far. Yes, there was a lot of luck, as he mentions in the video - but then if he was only lucky enough to just make it as a pro, he wouldn't have survived this long. Also, if you noticed, he's not a complete prick. He admits he fell off in S3. He didn't deny his falling off. He calls himself the best ADC yet he admits he's not that far ahead.

[@willrocksBR]

Rohen17 More like you are the pathetic one.

[@bramaknox3456]

Those Jabs from the Interviewer tho, I sense so much envy and hostility. He probably was getting rekt in solo Q by Pentalift the night before.

[@planetbenis2606]

haha

[@rinleez]

You certainly do not know Carmac aka Uszat.

[@cognition26]

Brama Knox Honestly these questions are really good. It really takes about what's really going on not about bullshit they always do. Usually senseless questions.

[@kellymiller6737]

He has the balls to say what is on his mind. I would rather have an interview with someone that will lay it out on the line than with a damn PC douche that's afraid to say something wrong. That's one major reason why I enjoy watching Doublelift. When he messes up, he'll put the blame on himself. When he owns, he'll take that as well. Give the dude some credit.

[@MusicalBasics]

You know what some people think the interviewer is a dick, but I think the questions were utterly fantastic and evoked beautiful, inspiring answers from Doublelift.

[@FIFFADSFI]

You are not alone Doublelift! Cheer up!! Besides, pro game life is not going to be forever. Even if pro gaming career ends, there's tons of things you can do. Just don't lose that positivity.

[@DharkDemonBlade]

he says that he is interested in esport casting, and judging by his performance on the analyst desk during the world championships, he will do fine.

[@RonaldoHuang1]

Carmac asked all the questions that no one would ask Doublelift. Sure, he may have asked it in an uncharacteristic stern approach but it was a serious topic people were dying to know.

[@Krunschy]

The gaming gene he talked about is also known as being asian

[@StefanInvAsian]

'Do you think leaving home at the age of 18 was a life changing decision for you?' Good question man, good question....

[@loonaticaaron]

Why are the comments saying that the interviewer is douchey? His questions are great, they were actually substantial unlike most interviewers who ask meaningless questions that result in meaningless responses. He asked specific questions while still leaving them open ended, therefore, he was able to get unique responses out of doublelift.

[@Narceoda]

He's starting to become so humble and honest and it's making me love him more and more.

[@bramaknox3456]

Much respect for Doublelift tho, Yea he talk smack, so what it's competition, But like he said He has LOYALTY something this is very short supply these days. Double could have CLG when they where in a slump, Probably even went to a Korean team, and made more money and been more successful, But he stayed Loyal to Hotshot and CLG. He is also very realistic about his faults, mistakes and he knows what a crazy risk he took and how lucky he got. Nothing but respect for Double. He's a Real person that speak his mind and speaks the truth. and I love it and find it very entertaining when he talks trash. Which just makes me like him all the more

[@fraudster111]

I agree with every single word in this comment.

[@s21411]

you're pretty stupid, honestly.

[@lottdominique]

Doublelife is black guys fav LoL pro I see.

[@bramaknox3456]

weaselxx Think its more then that. He actually apperciates and understands the opportunity Hotshot gave him and in return he has loyalty. a trait commonly lost amongst our generation

[@metheriot]

I don't think he sounds arrogant at all. He knows what he's goot at, which you can't deny, he is chinese indeed and has that going for him, and also admits he is not fit for decision making, which is a skill he lacks. Being realistic about yourself is a major step towards success.

[@runescapepinmem]

word

[@superfgy9614]

Man Doublelift seems pretty well educated through his grammar and speech. props

[@deepvybes]

and then he found google and learned how to search how to do something.

[@uropedala3293]

BEST AD DOWN :^)

[@ilattinnj]

if it werent for trash talking in a game, would the game have ever become competitive? thank you doublelift for all your trash talk. ty for backing it up and putting on a great show! thanks for failing sometimes, its a good laugh. win some lose some!

[@joshuatorres7328]

He is a trash that's talking

[@joshuatorres7328]

... He is still trash that's talking.

[@ilattinnj]

+Neon DemonBlade imo you are trash that is talking lol.

[@Money79478]

Very good interview!

[@madmedia370]

Man, i love doublelift

[@iKayorei]

I'm not hating on Doublelift or anything, but if he wasn't doing anything with his life at the age of 18, can't blame his parents for wanting him out cause according to what he said, he still played games all day until he was 18 and didn't know how to drive, attend college or anything.

[@Rav3nCain]

he wasnt 18 he was 16 as clarified in another interview he did

[@twongball443]

Just saying you can't really trust this interviewer. 1st of all in another interview it was said he was going to attend UC Irvine, but since he left he had no money to attend. 2nd of all, he left home at age 16. 3rd of all, alot of the time Asian parents don't really care about any culture except their own. To a lot of them grades are all that matter. Source: im asian.

[@mightysichord625]

twongball443 love the source

[@aRndm12yrOld]

twongball443 I second the source.

[@McDuls]

twongball443 dat source

[@TinuTsiom]

I dont see anything wrong in saying hes the best, he thinks hes better than his opponent but still has respect for them. Thats how you should play or u will lose your matchup.

[@vietredneck]

Awesome how blunt he is about his personal life. IMO, he's just being very honest.

[@sebastiancardoso]

I'm honestly shocked by the rudeness and incompetence of the interviewer. The remark at the 7:40 mark is offensive and unprofessional.

[@maddafakka7783]

+Sebastian Cardoso Dude , he's a major troll who became an interviewer. He's asking some questions knowing people know that he used and still is a troll. He tries to be professional but he still has those moments. I love the guy.

[@PixelMinez]

this guy holy hell the questions are tough as fuck!

[@ivi0nk3y36]

I really like this interviewer. great questions

[@rRozu]

You here tomorrow big? wow this guys English got so much better.

[@oSa33dx]

He was trolling in that video. His English has always been good.

[@D2ezbmu]

great interview

[@userpkcu]

This interviewer doesn't really have a sense of humor and keeps thinking Doublelift is arrogant and really does think he's the best and has no weaknesses lol

[@adri-ep2nw]

Why is everybody saying that interviewer is a dick? I loved that his questions werent the classic boring questions but a little deeper and im pretty sure that he knows that Doublelift can take it.

[@Alexajin]

Strong and honest, good talk imo.

[@Deadlyllama]

I love how the interviewer is trying to cut him to the core, and not a single F- is given xD That's gotta be why everyone loves DoubleLift, even if you're a C9/TSM/w.e fan, You still love DoubleLift :P

[@facebookerss]

it funny how double lift and yellowstar are now teammates

[@tweeze123]

lol @ all the league youngsters who don't know the interviewer. He's able to push such hard questions because he's experienced, he's been around the pro gaming scene for a long time.

[@don2xify]

He needs to be arrogant. He needs to believe that he's the best. He needs to, because he doesn't have anything else.

[@scooter12t]

Lol this hate for the interviewer is funny. I haven't seen any of his other interviews, so I can't judge for sure, but he's actually very good at interviewing. Pay attention to his pace: watch how he's not interrupting DL when he speaks, has an easy tone of voice, and a classy arrogance (lol they're both arrogant but it's fine) - these are all good. Even more so, his questions were spot on. We all know DL is a god amongst ADCs - we and the interviewer know this and it doesn't need more clarification. He tried to center the questions around DL's personal life to gain more insight on the pro, which I'm pretty sure we all would like to know more about. I don't see it as awkward, hell if I was DL I'd be honored because his situation is so unique that talking about it isn't bad at all. It's like the feeling you get when you tell a bunch of people how you went through hardships but came out on top in the end...pretty great. I do feel for DL's parent situation...money isn't everything =\

[@bit3m3]

To sum up this interview. Before turning his back on family, he was a 'skill-less, fat, ugly, awkward nerd' and after dedicating 2 and a half years of his life away from the people who nurtured him into adulthood, to play video games, he is a 'skill-less, skinny, ugly, awkward, nerdy superstar'.(with a decent amount of $) I admire him for chasing his dream and doing what he loves, but I also get the sense that deep down he has some major flaws as a person.

[@Nikotastik]

He finally gave them 1st place. ^^

[@FangLoL]

Would fire that interviewer. Those questions are worded in a way that says "fuck you, I'm gonna try to make you sound like a horrible person with no life". Doublelift may seem arrogant, but I have a hard time taking it seriously, or to get even get annoyed about it. He responded to those questions with a smile and honesty, kudos.

[@icytadbull]

interviewer very direct

[@adilhussain8252]

He got one thing right...it was a stomp

[@Hermitboi289Produc]

In my genes LOL..... Skill level asian

[@kakapoleon]

Just remember one point, he's a top adc for s1, s2, s3, s4. Is there any other NA adc can do that?

[@mx6115]

[@austenslost]

[@peterc2672]

"you are used to your parents pampering you" ummm wtf?

[@pewpew2]

The interviewer is either hates doublelift or doesn't know how to be polite...

[@danielgrvff]

7:41 that wasn't a nice statement by the interviewer - - proud of you doublelift for answering them well

[@Eirwyn]

bike and PC...priorities!!

[@LevelOneCimber]

@Sona, Maven of the Strings Didn't he also state that he is not bitter and understands the decision his parents made? Can't remember, not trying to sound like a douche but he does say that he will amend which probably means he has forgiven them.

[@gazingabunga]

I like this interviewer, dunno what da faq you guys are talking about...

[@ImmortalAssasinable]

So true about Asian parents lol All about dat $$$$$$$$$!!!

[@harald2011]

I don't really like doublelift, but seriously, wtf, we don't have anything with how he live his life.. His real life skills? da fuq.. seriously.

[@Snow_Pulse]

yyyyeeeaaahhhh

[@alexnguyen4081]

[@pedroterminator]

[@mimicbytes2992]

Fire the interviewer.

[@J040PL7]

[@Zeldene810]

[@jasano1234]

[@cumburgler]

sponsors, riot salary, tournaments and many other things

[@michael_riffs]

I think WildTurtle is better than DoubleLift anyone else?

[@resrierin0857]

really heavy really fast.. hehehehehWHEHWETHEHHUE

[@vitord1]

imagine one day aphro stops carrying him, will he be ruined?

[@yellowcolourteam]

+vitord1 Have you seen his games 2015 games? His mechanics are absolutely insane.

[@Spin793]

+vitord1 Well he isn't on CLG anymore, so we will see.

[@SteveAboagye1]

lol

[@fabricatidiem8014]

1st na seed in worlds. Ahh run and grab aphro!

[@alexjorg8463]

No way, I hate Travis too!

[@javanskeebs]

Hate this commentator.

[@m3gusta17]

Seriously, I was about to comment and ask if no one else thought this guy was a crappy interviewer. I'm not saying I'd be great, but this guy is doing it as a job, for money, not volunteering. Phreak, Jatt, Sjokz, Quikshot, pretty much every other interviewer does a better job than this guy.

[@omgnette]

m3gusta17 do you guys even know him? like serieusly?

[@m3gusta17]

NorthyDoxy Do we need to? I'm not saying he's a terrible person with no character, I'm just saying that he not only asks some less-than-tactful questions, he has no sense of humor and often just ends up insulting Doublelift while trying to be "funny". It's both awkward and rude.

[@m3gusta17]

***** lol have you ever seen a commentator who "sucks doublelift's dick"? Of course you haven't; every interviewer recognizes he's skilled, but no one's delusional enough to think he's the best when he's not (interviewers ≠ fans). This guy was just bad; Sjokz, the primary casters (like Phreak, Jatt, Kobe, Deman, Deficio, etc.), and even Travis are far superior. I'm not saying he's a horrible person, he's just not good at interviews.

[@EclecticMick]

REKKLES IS NOT OVERRATED!!!!!!!

[@golsonkp]

marijuana

[@ianspivey2366]

I know carmac trolls a lot, but this was too much

[@tzo5075]

[@lelandbarratt9558]

Still a little awkward.

[@JUSTmeESTFG]

[@noc141]

[@Snow_Pulse]

hahaah

[@charlesdicus6451]

His jeans still don't even fit. Life skills still lacking

[@isaacturner5156]

he isnt the best ad carry in NA...

[@thefangster7]

but hes the most epic!

[@isaacturner5156]

***** wildturtle is one of the best adc's in the world, him and xpecial won their lane against skt in worlds

[@SuperBobbydj]

Isaac Turner He is in my opinion, a lot of tsm fans are bronze or silver and take 1 fact from 1 game and use that to carry their argument. But just as he said, not by much.

[@ado_4297]

Aarin Henning your assumptions make me sick

[@ellis0896]

He definitely is the best adc in NA.

[@Nidaleee]

So arrogant
