Academy Standouts highlights the players who performed best in the most recent week of NA Academy play. I’ll discuss a few of the most noteworthy players, then list some of the other strong performers below.
Lost, Bot, TSM
Lost and Treatz are the best duo lane in Academy right now. TSM Academy’s 2-0 week against 100 Academy and EG Academy featured big-time carry games from Lost, with big laning stats, damage output, and kill participation.
Oracle’s Elixir has always provided the most advanced, comprehensive League of Legends esports analytics. To help push that mission forward, a brand new Oracle’s Elixir will be launching very soon, with everything rebuilt from the ground up. Not only will the new site provide more data, faster page loads, and coverage of a ton more leagues from around the world; it will also allow me to invest more effort into innovating even more ways of measuring team and player performance.

Yusui, Mid, Team Liquid
As I said about Triple last week, there’s an opening for “best Mid in Academy” right now, and Yusui is another leading candidate. He asserted himself this week quite effectively with a pair of strong showings featuring very different play styles. His reduced shot calling burden, now that Grig has joined the team, appears to be freeing him up to perform that much better on a personal level, which is a good situation for his play style to really shine.
