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.
(No video this week, sorry… I’ve been under the weather.)
Joey is an important piece of IMT Academy as a playmaker and one of their veteran voices. This week he performed very well on Thresh and Lux in his team’s opening series against CLGA, and had a solid showing on Leona and Nautilus against FLYA, as well. Teeing up kills for Arrow is a great way to ensure his team’s success, so Joey just needs to keep doing exactly that!

If you talk to people inside the 100 Thieves org, they’ll proclaim Busio as the saviour of the NA Support talent pool. In his first week in Academy, he looked like it, especially in the series against CLG Academy where he absolutely popped off on Thresh and followed it up with a Tahm Kench game where he seemed to connect his knockup on every W he used. If Busio can play this well for even 50% of his games this year, he’s going to become everything 100 Thieves say he is.

Pretty, Mid, Immortals
Three weeks in, and Pretty makes his second appearance in the top 3. You might look at his 1.9 KDA and wonder why he’s on the Standouts list, especially when his team went 0-2 this week, but if you watch the way he played on Azir and Galio, the mechanical and situational plays he made, the positions he put himself in, and the opportunities he created for his team, you can’t help but be impressed by what this man is bringing to the table.
