Licorice is headed to the Golden Guardians and FlyQuest are playing their full Academy roster in LCS for week 6. What’s going on??
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 standouts, then list some other players whose performances caught my eye below.
The king of Academy was back on top this week. Well actually, k1ng was in bot lane, but never let facts ruin a good tagline.
It was a pop-off kind of week for C9A’s star carry, with kill counts of 6, 6, 9, and 6 on 4 different champions and high damage output, despite some struggles getting going in lane, partly due to gank attention.
