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.
Keaiduo seems to have found his footing in Academy. He had an incredible week, pairing with V1per to lead TSM Academy to a 4-2 record and generating some real momentum going into Proving Grounds. His 9/1/11 Corki game against EG Academy was explosive, his LeBlanc against TL Academy was dominant, and he posted 8 kills on Viktor against DIG Academy, too. This was the kind of Academy performance you expect out of a player of Keaiduo’s calibre. Now we have to wait and see whether that puts pressure on the TSM management to incorporate him back into the LCS squad.

A big playmaking week from Diamond couldn’t salvage more than 1 win in 4 games for FlyQuest Academy, but it was more than enough to catch my eye. He led 2v2 kills, made roaming ganks, and set up key picks as Leona, Thresh, and Lux.

eXyu got to play Lee Sin twice in week 2 for some reason. He picked up 7 kills in each game, and his 7/1/9 showing against C9 Academy must have felt especially good since he was part of the org’s now-defunct Amateur team last year and they opted to import Malice instead of bringing him up into Academy themselves. His constant trap plays with JayJ paid off beautifully, and he capped his week with a game-winning Baron steal against TLA.
