Academy Standouts highlights the players who performed best in the most recent week of NA Academy play. I’ll discuss three of the most noteworthy players, either the best performers or new standouts who haven’t shown up on the list before, and then list 7 other strong performers below.

Fudge, Top, Cloud9
Fudge contributed a Gangplank and a Sett to C9 Academy’s wins over GG Academy and DIG Academy. He’s definitely starting to make good on the promise he showed in OPL Summer 2019, earning his second Standouts appearance in the last three weeks.

Right from the start, Damonte is shouting out loud and clear that he deserves to be in LCS, not Academy. He was assertive, using his laning advantages (+500 GD10 and +307 XPD10!) to control the river, getting himself fed through skirmishes, and working hard (sometimes a little too hard?) to make plays for his team.
There’s no doubt that JayJ wants to see himself back in the LCS, after being replaced in FlyQuest’s main roster by IgNar.
