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.
While the former FLY Academy roster has been up in the LCS taking names, Palafox has been back down in Academy showing how he earned his way into the LCS in the first place.
Sylas, Irelia, Yone, and Akali were his tools of choice this week. He was assertive, applying a lot of pressure on his lane opponents, picking up solo kills and threatening a few more. He created leads in lane and carried some big team fights, too.

The king of Academy was back on top this week. Well actually, k1ng was in bot lane, but never let facts ruin a good tagline.
It was a pop-off kind of week for C9A’s star carry, with kill counts of 6, 6, 9, and 6 on 4 different champions and high damage output, despite some struggles getting going in lane, partly due to gank attention.
I have already revealed my choices for the strongest possible team that could be built out of Academy and amateur players, and now it’s time to narrow things down even further by crowning the unofficial 2021 Spring AC/AM MVP.
Criteria My definition of an Academy/amateur MVP is: the player whose performance across the entirety of the split was both of the highest quality and most important to the success of their team.
