Kumo, Top, FlyQuest Academy

If he can keep up that level he can definitely become a player to watch once again.

Well, he delivered an even stronger week this time around, driving FLY Academy to a 4-0 week over Golden Guardians Academy and Dignitas Academy (which may not sound like the stiffest opposition until you note that DIGA 2-0ed C9 Academy in their other series this week).

Academy Standouts: 2021 Summer, Week 3

ry0ma, Mid, 100 Thieves Academy

Photo of 99566406313688735.pngWith the amount of time the 100 Thieves Academy mid laner spent in the river and side lanes in the early game this week, it’s obvious that he’s making a very intentional effort to become a more map-mobile player. Roamin’ ry0ma’s Lee Sin created all kinds of action and took control of games, in ways that I haven’t been used to seeing from him. He also played Tristana and Syndra, using the latter to counter Triple’s Lucian in lane and showing his flexibility between different champion archetypes.
