AC/AM Standouts highlights the players who performed best in the most recent week of NA Academy and amateur play. I’ll discuss a few of the most noteworthy standouts, then list some other players whose performances caught my eye below.
Contractz dominated FlyQuest Academy with a pair of Nidalee games where he exerted relentless pressure all around the map, especially working around Tony Top’s Camille and Jax picks to set up the side-laning win condition. His Nidalee javelins around the Baron pit in game 1 changed the story of the series, and his play overall was the main factor behind EGA’s upset over FLYA and their advancement in the upper bracket.

Luger, Bot, 100 Thieves
The 100 Thieves org has been waiting for Luger to get to the US so he could join his team, and he was finally able to join in the action. What an arrival! In two games of Kai’sa he asserted himself in lane, picked up multikills in team fights, and put out over 800 damage per minute.
