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 of the other strong performers below.
Fudge, Top, Cloud9
Fudge keeps on keeping on, playing Ornn against CLG Academy and Camille against DIG Academy this week and excelling both in the rank role and the carry / split push position. His ownership of side lanes and big-time flank engages on Camille were especially impressive.

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.
