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.
A triumphant 4-0 week capped off the summer split for Eyla and TLA, and Eyla was the constant driver of their victories. He played Thresh twice against FLY Academy, then Rell and Leona IMT Academy. Those are two pretty stiff opponents, especially when you consider that the FLYA bot lane of Johnsun and Dreams spent much of the summer in the LCS.
