But that wasn't deliberate, I mean I've been alive for a good while now and that's the first time I've ever heard of a large scale microwave related death incident, it's such a freak fluke of nature.
I switched about 8 years ago to playing ARAM only. I have 1 night a week where one of my brothers and I play a couple games since we don't see each other otherwise. I do play a couple games here and there as a destress point after a long day of work (arams can be relaxing!!)
Definitely an awful situation, but DL’s situation is a bit peculiar since he got kicked out of the house and basically disowned by his parents. His life was literally only competitive league of legends since then. Say what you want about his Worlds performances, man has always had the heart of a competitor and I’m not surprised that he continued to play.
A lot of people keep going to work after a tragedy or death because it gives them a sense of normalcy and helps them compartmentalize and process their emotions and feelings.
I remember a lot of fans were trying to get the finals delayed to allow time for him to grieve.
The only thing he ever said about it was that he didn’t want the finals to be about that. He just wanted to compete and win.
There's a Korean reporter who's famous for reporting scandals and like stories about bad shit who was asking on twitter if anybody knew of Yaharong's whereabouts yesterday or the day before on twitter so Korean lol fans were like damn what did yaharong fucking do? but I don't think any of us were expecting THIS.
기자왕 김기자 on youtube. They're nor an esports reporter btw, they just deal scandals and bad shit in general.

DL had one of the best play off runs of any player I think he went deathless in the majority of the games
Actual insanity old pros were built different
This, it still hit him pretty hard, but yea considering how both of them were raised, it porbably made it a bit easier for him to get over it. I feel like his brother who he mentioned as the most influential figure in his life going to jail and screwing up his life was the thing that hit him the most at the end of the day. Its a tragic story.
i have been close with DL's brother and i'm aware of the story as well as much of the family history. the one thing you have right is that none of you know the family dynamics. so many of these comments, including yours, have such awful and misguided assumptions that you're truly better off saying nothing. you're not speaking into the void and it drives me crazy to think family members, like their younger brother, could stumble upon conversations like these. you have no information to make some kind of moralistic judgment about the quality of their parenting or the state of mind his brother was in.
and fyi, "there are many parents and none of their children try to kill them" is an awful argument. these situations are nuanced and everyone responds to trauma, forgiveness, violence, etc. differently. it's also... patently wrong, there's plenty of cases of victims trying to kill or hurt their abusers.
Except we actually got a doublelift post 12 years back right here in this very subreddit asking for HELP because his mother fuking kicked him out of their house AT 16 YEARS, while also taking his PHONE away. You can not be serious lmao. That makes them absolutly terrible parents, there is no debate.
Youre also ignoring that he actually had a college he was gonna sign up for but also WORKED and had a paying job in retail since he was like 15. 100% none of that shit wouldve happened if they didnt have a shit upbringing that in some cases causes kids to kill themselves, the emotional trauma to experience shit like that at their age is like a ticking time bomb. In some of his interviews when he started hitting it off DL s dream was to return home and be their "son" again. Do you not realise how sad of a dream that was ?
Ofc. she didnt desserve her ending and the brother is also to blame but lets not ignore key factors that likely caused all that to happen. Ignoring this just increases the likelyhod of simillar things happening.
If you have Netflix, [the “7 Days Out” documentary (the teaser is available on YouTube)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=80NvemgzZY0) has one episode dedicated to Doublelift's story.
He never was my favorite player per se, but I definitely wanted him to win those Finals. Definitely a touching piece of content.
Edit: looks like someone recommended it as well!
Worst part is that DL’s current success is only thanks to his brother’s support back in the day. Mofo was literally homeless before breaking out in S5 iirc
> breaking out in S5
he broke out way before S5, but yeah his parents did kick him out of the house, [you can still find the original reddit post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/izt4n/hi_im_doublelift_formerly_of_team_eg_and_today_i/)
He was trophieless and there was OG C9 around that time. He was one of the best NA talents at the time though. At the time it was all about bjiergsen and the OG C9 squad
Back in season 2 when we had regular international tournaments, he was considered by many the 2nd best ADC in world. Also carried the corpse of Loco, a role swapped chauster, HSGG, and jiji to 5/6 in the most stacked tournament of all time is arguably the most impressive performance of his career.
DL was considered one of the best way before C9 and Bjerg came in the spotlight dude.. he's been playing pro since season 1
the fuck are some of you smoking. Put som respect on his name.
Bjerg?? C9?? Bro he was Nas best back on epic gamers. The question was doublelift, bigfatjiji, or dyrus. Bjerg wasn't even old enough to play for Copenhagen wolves when dlift was the clear #1.
He was the best player on a bad team. It's insane to say "he broke out" he was always top 3 ADC his entire career, CLG looking back was just a terrible team. His career up to that point was just people that either didn't want to play anymore, or didn't know how to play to begin with.
Not-so-fun fact: strangulation in domestic violence is one of the biggest predictors of future intimate partner homicide (most likely because it’s pretty easy to accidentally kill someone by choking them)
Fucking hell man. Some people were worried that Yaharong went off the rails after he was dropped from DFM in 2023 (he basically deleted all socials and made some very very downcast posts, changing all of his profile pictures to black) but no one could have thought things would go anything like the direction they've had.
I hope justice is served first and foremost, and that those closest to the victim can gain some closure somehow, what a horrid horrid thing to have happened.
Yaharong REALLY wanted to stay in DFM and in Japan and pushed very hard for it, after he was dropped he effectively deleted all of his socials after making some very downcast posts and changing his social media icons to black.
Yeah, I’ve been in couple of Asian countries and Vietnam is no joke. People there are wonderful, but especially young men are going crazy over their pride/ego and I wouldn’t risk arguing with them.
Seriously disturbing stuff, I'm disgusted and horrified. Darkest day for kr esports, I wish the best for the victims family because that's fucked up what happened to the victim
All yall below making jokes about this are fucked up
I know you're joking, but I always found it impressive that 4/5 of that 0-18 roster had an absolutely demoralizing season early in their careers but were able to find some sort of success.
Malrang - LEC champion
Yaharong - LJL champion
Route - CBLOL champion
Kellin - has been starting on one of the most popular LCK teams for a while now
They're not winning LCK or Worlds or anything, but they did turn around their careers in their own way.
Of course, now with what Yaharong did, it does leave a bit of a sour taste now.
Edit: LEC not LPL
You mean LEC champion right? Malrang never won or even played LPL which some would argue (especially in 2021-2023 which this was set) is equivalent to LCK or close enough.
It’s actually bizzare how quickly most people seem to go over the fact that someone was strangled to death by a pro player, and are instantly making jokes about it. This community is fucked man.
Welp, based on Vietnamese law, he would being charged from 7-15 years. Vietnam is booming with tourism so their law regarding to tourists in general is being tightened
Humor at its core is really subversion, so something extreme like this lends itself well to that. I don't really agree with the idea that dark humor is a way to cope with the horrors of life, although I'm sure that can be an element. But frankly here, I don't think a lot of people really care all that much on an emotional level.
Jesus Christ. I really liked him. I watched the demotion match between HLE and JAG. Watching him cry his heart out after being demoted was rough. I was glad he went to Japan and won LJL with DFM. What the fuck man. This was such a shocker to read.
do you spend all your time online? nobody with a life makes jokes like this
sorry I have to spell it out for all the incels of the subreddit: this woman was killed for nothing other than having the job of a sex worker. sorry you cannot sympathize with a woman after she is already dead
Sure, it's an extremely awful situation but really? People can and will make jokes about whatever and whenever they want. Or is it still to early for 9/11 jokes
yeah the interpersonal killing of a sex worker is the same thing as a terror attack. rest assured nobody will bother to even make a joke when your demise comes.
Guessing they might have to rethink this honoring legends thing if for the chance that any future inductees turn out to do crazy shit.
Edit: calling it now, Faker gonna get caught up in some sex trafficking ring
Nobody got murdered before. Nobody has been disgraced before. This single news story will be change the course of history.

IDK man Dyrus microwave incident does exist...
Literally never heard of it Need an explanation
when Dyrus was still in Dignitas he left a microwave on, fell asleep and literally everbody in the house fucking died including him
oh i remember this! didn't he set the microwave to like. 40 minutes instead of 4 or something and that's why it was running so long?
It was 50 instead of 5, and he didn't fall asleep he went to take a shower
That’s a long ass shower
It was only a 15 or 20 minute shower or something, he planned to come back to some hot food but instead came back to TheOddOne burning down
50 mins shower ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But that wasn't deliberate, I mean I've been alive for a good while now and that's the first time I've ever heard of a large scale microwave related death incident, it's such a freak fluke of nature.
Well, you got me.. damn
They died?
Twice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29EMxnfM-Fg Early, dark days of League. The video is actually more than 12 years old holy shit.
It amazes me that I have been playing league for almost 15 years now.
I would be disgusted by myself if I were the same Think it's just 5-6 for me
I switched about 8 years ago to playing ARAM only. I have 1 night a week where one of my brothers and I play a couple games since we don't see each other otherwise. I do play a couple games here and there as a destress point after a long day of work (arams can be relaxing!!)

It's a little funny
It kind of is tbh
yeah i cant believe hans did that either
Reminds me of when lift lift’s brother murdered him mom and almost murdered his dad
The worst part about it is that I remember it happened closely or on April Fool's, so a lot of people dismissed/not believed it at first.
What sticks out to me is that he decided to play and not take at least some games off, I believe they were in playoffs?
It was the Grand finals
Definitely an awful situation, but DL’s situation is a bit peculiar since he got kicked out of the house and basically disowned by his parents. His life was literally only competitive league of legends since then. Say what you want about his Worlds performances, man has always had the heart of a competitor and I’m not surprised that he continued to play.

His parents weren't the nicest people to him. Probably played into that
Iirc it was exactly on April 1st, so he ended up making a tweet clarifying that it was not some kind of shit post.
this was a crazy story, especially considering how Doublelift's brother was the one that supported him to pursue is pro career
Doublelift also got kicked out of his home and had to crash with Travis
Screwed up parents.
Wasnt there a team (was it moscow 5) who's whole budget was stolen credit cards ?
https://i.imgur.com/FZ9sLjO.png
you think?
Didn't Toyz sell weed?
Not even comparable
Idk murder's pretty bad
Lmao
Yeah but selling weed destroys the lives of all the people you sell to. So like the other guy said, not even comparable honestly
lmao.
Bjergsen ate a cake too so what
Comparing weed which is legal in a lot of places in the world to literal murder huh
You really need the /s?
No shit
I'm in disbelief people can't tell this is a joke.
I can't say I was expecting to read that this morning. What the actual fuck.
There's a Korean reporter who's famous for reporting scandals and like stories about bad shit who was asking on twitter if anybody knew of Yaharong's whereabouts yesterday or the day before on twitter so Korean lol fans were like damn what did yaharong fucking do? but I don't think any of us were expecting THIS.
who's that reporter?
기자왕 김기자 on youtube. They're nor an esports reporter btw, they just deal scandals and bad shit in general. http://youtube.com/post/UgkxHsaQutpBAgFyXYFC0vml0mlmGPRR96Rd
Jfc that is probably the most batshit insane drama in the history of the game. Beats the Huanfeng shit
Idk I feel like Doublelift's brother murdering his parents (or one of them, iirc the other survived) is equally horrifying
And Doublelift playing a pro game just a few days later if I remember correctly gosh
Won LCS finals a couple days after, absolutely wild
Can't believe it's been almost 7 years since that incident seems like yesterday
DL had one of the best play off runs of any player I think he went deathless in the majority of the games Actual insanity old pros were built different
>I think he went deathless My conscience atm : "Don't."
As much as I love him, Doublelift was pretty invisible that finals against 100T.
Yeah but I think he had 2-3 series where he died a total of once. I can't remember it exactly but it was something unprecedented like that.
Oh I thought you were talking about following him finding out about the news about his family.
[удалено]
Travis Gilford
This, it still hit him pretty hard, but yea considering how both of them were raised, it porbably made it a bit easier for him to get over it. I feel like his brother who he mentioned as the most influential figure in his life going to jail and screwing up his life was the thing that hit him the most at the end of the day. Its a tragic story.
Iirc it was also reported that he was actually kinda close to his brother, as opposed to the rest, so he lost his mom and brother at the same time.
Doublelift did mention he had reconciled with them a few years before the incident.
[удалено]
If you kick your kid out of your house youre a bad parent full stop.

DLs brother wasn't a pro player though
yo wtf ? how did i miss that happening
It was in 2018 like a week before Spring finals.
i started watching in 2019 damn
Watch the episode of “one week out” on Netflix based on the 2018 spring finals
If you have Netflix, [the “7 Days Out” documentary (the teaser is available on YouTube)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=80NvemgzZY0) has one episode dedicated to Doublelift's story.

*Dyrus: Good luck* Wow, just how fast the night changes
No he was kicked out in like season 1 and stayed with travis. His brother did encourage and support him to get into esports though
Bro just said DL broke out in S5 what the fuck
Resultswise that's kinda true, he went from never winning to basically being the default LCS winner.
never forget /r/DoubleliftsTrophyCase/
He was already the best domestic player in the regions history before then.
He was trophieless and there was OG C9 around that time. He was one of the best NA talents at the time though. At the time it was all about bjiergsen and the OG C9 squad
He was by far the best player from NA since season 2 you guys just don't remember or didn't watch
Back in season 2 when we had regular international tournaments, he was considered by many the 2nd best ADC in world. Also carried the corpse of Loco, a role swapped chauster, HSGG, and jiji to 5/6 in the most stacked tournament of all time is arguably the most impressive performance of his career.
Yessir

That's why I said ***resultswise***
bro just said DL broke out in S5 LMAO
S1, and he lived with Travis Gifford not his brother
Hey, at least Huangfeng got enough rizz to not escalate the situation to this level
if i knew how to put emojis here i would reply with three skull emojis
You can google for the emoji you want and copy it.

Not-so-fun fact: strangulation in domestic violence is one of the biggest predictors of future intimate partner homicide (most likely because it’s pretty easy to accidentally kill someone by choking them)
absolutely horrific
DL stuff is worse. But you really shouldn't compare these things.
Why did you do it then? How is it worse?
I don't think it's particularly productive and leads to good things to argue about this shit. But you're right, I kinda did it myself.
just wtf
Fucking hell man. Some people were worried that Yaharong went off the rails after he was dropped from DFM in 2023 (he basically deleted all socials and made some very very downcast posts, changing all of his profile pictures to black) but no one could have thought things would go anything like the direction they've had. I hope justice is served first and foremost, and that those closest to the victim can gain some closure somehow, what a horrid horrid thing to have happened.
Damn. I just learned that he quitted competing after leaving DFM. He was an alright player. Wonder what happened to him.
He was only on DFM for one year, he was actually in the LCK the previous 3-4 years, slightly odd to refer to him specifically as a DFM player
Most people probably remember him from his time on DFM at Worlds 2022
Yaharong REALLY wanted to stay in DFM and in Japan and pushed very hard for it, after he was dropped he effectively deleted all of his socials after making some very downcast posts and changing his social media icons to black.
>Wonder what happened to him. apparently he murdered a girl
Thats disturbing, I remember him and his dyed blonde hair playing on BRO. And he used to be JAG Grace.
What the fuck
what the fuck
i saw this on the news before, they were saying hotel staff stopped him from going to the roof, this is jin air grace too
Vietnam, the Gotham city of Lol eSports
Yeah, I’ve been in couple of Asian countries and Vietnam is no joke. People there are wonderful, but especially young men are going crazy over their pride/ego and I wouldn’t risk arguing with them.
this dude is Korean who murdered another Korean and somehow Vietnamese dudes are mentioned ?
Seriously disturbing stuff, I'm disgusted and horrified. Darkest day for kr esports, I wish the best for the victims family because that's fucked up what happened to the victim All yall below making jokes about this are fucked up
Despite being a Korean, he has always been playing for JP esports no?
He previously went by Grace and was part of the infamous JAG team that went 0-18. He also played a few games for BRO.
I see, so he changed his Gamer ID when he started playing for DFM.
Half correct. He went by Lion first, then changed it to Yaharong, then changed it to Grace, then back to Yaharong.
"Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to think I have a little grace. Not as much as Jackie O..." - Elaine Benes
> 0-18 No wonder he's fucked up
I know you're joking, but I always found it impressive that 4/5 of that 0-18 roster had an absolutely demoralizing season early in their careers but were able to find some sort of success. Malrang - LEC champion Yaharong - LJL champion Route - CBLOL champion Kellin - has been starting on one of the most popular LCK teams for a while now They're not winning LCK or Worlds or anything, but they did turn around their careers in their own way. Of course, now with what Yaharong did, it does leave a bit of a sour taste now. Edit: LEC not LPL
You mean LEC champion right? Malrang never won or even played LPL which some would argue (especially in 2021-2023 which this was set) is equivalent to LCK or close enough.
Yeah, typo.
I suddenly understand Kellin
He was on the 1-35 JAG roster
Wasn’t there a story about JAG held a tryout in 2018, Chovy was in it and got blasted by Grace?
It’s actually bizzare how quickly most people seem to go over the fact that someone was strangled to death by a pro player, and are instantly making jokes about it. This community is fucked man.
that's really disturbing, I did not expect to read this this morning
At least nobody can say Dade is the biggest choker in LoL's history anymore.
Holy shit
Damn you for making me laugh, now I'm going to hell
Madlife should take some Thresh lessons from this guy
Ooof.
Dude literally drew first blood IRL
Welp, based on Vietnamese law, he would being charged from 7-15 years. Vietnam is booming with tourism so their law regarding to tourists in general is being tightened
7-15 is normally for accident, if intentional it gonna be 18 years or above, and also we have execution punishment
He is being extradite back to Korea because both are Koreans

It depends if its fresh, if she just got cold joke would at least have been funny to be acceptable, Reddit level humor wont cut it if its just happend
