RESULTS: Unicorns of Love take down Schalke, Extend Winning Streak

The Unicorns of Love have been called the best last placed team, and for good reason. Now sitting on a five game winning streak, the Unicorns have leaped up from the bottom of the ladder, to sit firmly in the middle of the pack, and their situation only looks to improve as time goes on.

The match started fairly evenly, with the Unicorns managing to claim first blood after jungler Jonas “Kold” Andersen roamed top to take down Schalke’s top laner Tamás "Vizicsacsi" Kiss. Using their new found positioning, UoL traded control of the Dragon for securing the Rift Herald, preferring the extra pushing power it affords. A series of deaths allowed Schalke to slowly catch up, securing a second Dragon, however a larger team fight cost them greatly, as the Unicorns managed to take down four members of the Schalke squad.

With Baron spawning soon, the Unicorns made efforts to secure the area, eventually catching out three members of Schalke before taking down Baron and adding its power to their own. Using this extra strength, the Unicorns were able to secure several map objectives, taking down a Dragon and building a sizeable gold lead. With the second Baron active, UoL moved to secure that at well, taking down several members of Schalke and setting themselves up to push hard into the base of Schalke. After securing another Dragon, the Unicorns were at the doorstep of the Schalke base, and a final running team fight would see four members of Schalke fall alongside their defences, as the Unicorns cleaned house to extend their winning streak.
