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 players, then list some other strong performers below.
Ablazeolive, Mid, Golden Guardians
With a massive 95.5% kill participation and 830 DPM, Ablazeolive was wreaking havoc all over the map this week in GGA’s wins over IMTA and DIGA. It was very much a “player of the week” pair of showings.

Yusui, Mid, Team Liquid
We’re back with my pick for the best currently available Academy Mid, Yusui, who once again managed to look good despite his team being inconsistent around him. He carried on Irelia in a win over CLG Academy, then had a really solid Orianna game despite a loss to GG Academy.
I’ve been watching Academy closely all split, and highlighting the standout performers each week. Now that the regular season has wrapped, it’s time to assess the entire nine weeks of work and honour the best player at each position.
NOTE: I’m unable to report full-split stats for these players due to ongoing issues with Riot’s match history service, but you can see the stats for weeks 1 through 8 here.
Scroll to the end for the TL;DR of 1st-team and 2nd-team selections.
