RESULTS: Unicorns of Love Finally Climb out of Last Place

It has taken a while, but the Unicorns of Love have finally managed to leave last place behind, taking down H2K to do so. It was close match full of ups and downs, but thanks to the power of the new Banner of Command, the Unicorns proved that they do indeed have what it takes to win games, going on a four game winning streak.

The early game was very tense, with H2K drawing first blood and making moves to build a small gold lead. UoL were able to fight back, however, taking down several members of H2K in back-to-back team fights. H2K still had the better objective control for now though, securing the first Dragon of the game.

Once the Unicorns secured their first turret however, things kicked into gear, as they would take down opposing jungler Ilyas "Shook" Hartsema, and secure the first Baron of the game. From there, it was all the power of the new Banner of Command, allowing UoL to take multiple turrets in rapid succession, even cracking open the base of H2K and destroying an inhibitor.

After more posturing, the Unicorns were able to secure their second Baron of the game, however a massive team fight broke out as they attempted to use this to push another lane, resulting in two members of H2K falling, while H2K’s AD Carry Patrik "Sheriff" Jírů was able to secure a Quadra-kill, for an overall ace of UoL.

The Unicorns bounced back, however H2K seemed to have their measure, winning another large team fight and taking all of the Unicorns members down for only two of their own. H2K would secure the third Baron of the game, but would not get the chance to really push, as the Unicorns quickly rallied to stem the tide. After another skirmish around the Elder Dragon, the Unicorns were finally able to start pushing into the base of H2K again, and with a final team fight, take down the carries for H2K and end the game, extending their winning streak to four games and finally leaving last place.
