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.
Keaiduo seems to have found his footing in Academy. He had an incredible week, pairing with V1per to lead TSM Academy to a 4-2 record and generating some real momentum going into Proving Grounds. His 9/1/11 Corki game against EG Academy was explosive, his LeBlanc against TL Academy was dominant, and he posted 8 kills on Viktor against DIG Academy, too. This was the kind of Academy performance you expect out of a player of Keaiduo’s calibre. Now we have to wait and see whether that puts pressure on the TSM management to incorporate him back into the LCS squad.

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.

There’s a very strong case from ry0ma as the MVP of Proving Grounds, and certainly the MVP of 100T’s reverse sweep to win the Grand Finals.
His control mage work on mostly Ryze and Orianna was a huge stabilizing factor for 100A, and he carried hard game in and game out. Just look at his DPM number.
