AC/AM Standouts highlights the players who performed best in the most recent week of NA Academy and amateur play. I’ll discuss a few of the most noteworthy standouts, then list some other players whose performances caught my eye below.
V1per entered the amateur circuit this Spring hoping to rebuild his confidence and prove to the LCS that his potential is not defined or limited by the version of himself that we saw during 2019 and 2020. He became the focal point of the No Org team, developed a great partnership with AnDa, and ramped up his play continuously over the course of the past four months, starting by absolutely wrecking all of the amateur Top laners and ending by doing the same to the Academy players en route to winning the first ever Proving Grounds tournament.

EGA’s budding star Mid laner had a huge series against TSM Academy on Saturday, destroying his mid lane opponent and carrying in a pair of Orianna games and one mid lane Renekton pick that brought some great flexibility into the best-of-five series. Earlier in the week, Jojo also brought out a mid lane Sett pick that nearly won game 2 against Cloud9 Academy but wasn’t quite enough.
