It’s a North American League of Legends tale as old as time: TSM versus Cloud9, the original fan favourites against the team that stole their crown as NA’s best. As the LCS squads prepare to fight for a World Championship spot on Saturday, their Academy teams will put an Academy Championship on the line the day before. Both matchups have the potential to be close, and hotly contested, but I’ll leave my LCS preview for tomorrow; today, let’s look into the Academy series that will cap off an excellent year of tier 2 North American competition.
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 other strong performers below.
Kenvi, Jungle, 100 Thieves
Even though I have no photo for Kenvi, I’ve been waiting to talk about this guy for a while.

Ablazeolive, Mid, Golden Guardians
With a massive 95.5% kill participation and 830 DPM, Ablazeolive was wreaking havoc all over the map this week in GGA’s wins over IMTA and DIGA. It was very much a “player of the week” pair of showings.
