﻿Team SoloMid Academy﻿ are your new ﻿2019 North America Academy League Spring﻿ champions!





After a hard fought series, TSMA defeated reigning Academy League champions ﻿Cloud9 Academy﻿ 3-1. The match MVP was Jonathan “﻿Grig﻿” Armao, who delivered the team to victory with a calculated smite steal on Elder Dragon.









TSMA found great success in their wins by drafting a combination of mid game strength and late game scaling. To accelerate the pace of the game and keep C9A from executing on their comp, they constantly looked for plays around teleport and ultimate timings. Specifically, Brandon “﻿Brandini﻿” Chen's flanking on Rumble decided multiple skirmishes and teamfights around neutral objectives in games one and four.

Despite an unfortunate visa situation that kept TSMA's support, Erik “﻿Treatz﻿” Wessėn, from playing the game on stage, the team managed to exhibit great teamwork in a slew of coordinated plays. They even surprised C9A with a clean double teleport to start a teamfight around Baron.













With their first championship under their belts, it's possible that LCS teams could be looking into scouting some of the stand-out players. The Summer Split may have teams' main rosters sharing the stage with some new faces.
