Academy Standouts: 2021 Summer, Week 11
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.
Last week there were two Semifinals matches, so I’m going to highlight the standout player from each series.
Isles, Support, Cloud9 Academy
Much of the C9 Academy vs. FlyQuest Academy series was a support duel, with Isles and Dreams trading influence on the map and making big plays for their teams.
Isles prevailed in the end, picking up wins on Leona, Nautilus, and Alistar while dropping games on Karma and Nautilus.

Last week there were two Quarterfinals matches, so I’m going to highlight the standout player from each series.
k1ng, Bot, Cloud9 Academy
C9 Academy’s star bot laner carried them to a reverse sweep against an Evil Geniuses Academy team that had them on the ropes.
A quiet Aphelios in game 1 was followed by four outstanding performances, with two games each on Ziggs and Varus.
With k1ng in this kind of form, C9A might actually be contenders again.
