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.
DIG Academy jungler eXyu had two absolutely enormous games last week, one on Hecarim against CLG where he went 3 oh and 10 with a series of ganks, counterganks, and engages, and one where he posted 5 oh and 13 as Udyr against FlyQuest with an absolutely brutal series of jungle invasions and a top lane campout. There are a lot of strong Academy junglers, but even though he’s a rookie, eXyu might just be leading the pack.

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!

RoseThorn extended his strong start to his sophomore year as a pro, leading CLG Academy to a 5-1 super week, posting an 8.4 KDA, 79.3% KP, and +337 GXD10, not to mention 6 First Blood kills or assists in 6 games. He had two huge games on Viego, looking especially dominant in game 2 against Evil Geniuses. He also played Jarvan IV twice as well as Gwen and Volibear. The CLG main team may be struggling, but CLG Academy is doing great and RoseThorn is at the forefront.
