Unicorns of Love Claim Their First Back-to-Back Win of 2018

The Unicorns of Love have taken down Splyce on day one of week six to claim their first back-to-back victory of 2018 in the EU LCS. Despite seeming to have all the advantages throughout the game, it did take some time for the Unicorns to get rolling, however, with Splyce managing to maintain a gold parity for much of the game.

Splyce managed to claim first blood, but the Unicorns were able to fire back quickly, claiming two kills of their own. Despite being down on kills early, Splyce were able to edge out a gold advantage over the Unicorns that lasted until the first neutral objectives began to fall. The Unicorns were able to secure several turrets in succession, as well as a two Dragons and the Rift Herald, edging out a gold lead of their own. This was not to last however, with Splyce managing to repeatedly take down members of the Unicorns squad, allowing them to equalize the gold once more.

Come the mid-game, and while the Unicorns were able to secure more objectives, like the Baron, Splyce were able to take down more members of the Unicorns herd, keeping the gold relatively level. With both teams trading objectives, it seemed that neither was able to gain enough of an advantage over the other, causing the game to become something of a stalemate for the time being. Despite securing a second Baron, the Unicorns would be forced to wait some time before a flank attack by Splyce that went poorly allowed the Unicorns to wipe their team and begin preparations to end the game.

Taking their third and final Baron buff, the Unicorns pushed their way into the base of Splyce, taking down the team once again and finally ending the game, giving the Unicorns of Love their first back-to-back victory of the year. In the post-game interview, Unicorns AD Carry Samuel "Samux" Fernández Fort talked about the plans for the Unicorns, as well as a message for the fans of the team.
