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.
Kumo, Top, FlyQuest Academy
Kumo is technically the LCS starting Top laner for FlyQuest now, but with FLY’s new Academy Top not ready to join the team yet, and the LCS starters all playing Academy this week, Kumo was still playing for the week, and he delivered another strong set of games in the vein of what he’s been doing to earn his promotion over the past month.
Kumo Stats
| KDA | KP | GXD10 | DPM | CSPM | |
| Week 6 | 6.3 | 62.5% | +1,963 | 628 | 7.3 |
| Overall | 4.8 | 61.7% | +323 | 533 | 7.7 |
CLG have had a relatively weak Academy program overall this year, but Tuesday has really been stepping up lately and giving the team something to be proud of. His pair of Rumble games in week 7 was almost enough to earn a couple of wins, but even though CLG came out 0-2, Tuesday’s personal contributions were still worthy of highlighting.
