Must Watch EU LCS Week 8 Showdown: Fnatic And Unicorns Of Love
By Zac Cameron ·
These two teams aren't in close competition with each other, but nevertheless, the showdown between Fnatic and the Unicorns of Love should prove to be an explosive game from start to finish.
This week in the EU LCS will see Fnatic, the current number one team, taking on the Unicorns of Love, currently tied for sixth place. While this might seem like a bit of a mismatch, truth is the Unicorns are more than capable of giving Fnatic a run for their money.
Fnatic are coming off a 1-1 week, taking down Vitality but falling to Misfits. Their individual performances this week were very good, especially from jungler Mads “Broxah” Brock-Pedersen, and AD Carry Martin “Rekkles” Larsson. Fnatic are already safely in the playoffs, so this will be an attempt by them to keep the lower teams in their place.
By comparison, the Unicorns of Love are coming into this week with a five game winning streak under their belts. The entire split, UoL have been playing better than a team with their record would indicate, but only now have they been able to transfer that skilful game-play into victory. Jungler Jonas “Kold” Andersen will have to lead the charge as he takes on Broxah in the jungle. If the Unicorns can’t beat Fnatic on the field of battle, at the very least they can make it a bloody and entertaining match.
The last time these two teams met, it was a back and forth match that featured huge plays and skilful team-work from both teams, though ultimately Fnatic walked away with the victory. Will history repeat itself, or will the Unicorns of Love manage to take down the “Kings of Europe”?
