RESULTS: Fnatic Rookie Helps Secure Top Spot in Victory over the Unicorns of Love

The wheels of the EU LCS keep on turning, and Fnatic manage to find themselves still sitting on top. Their performance today allows them some breathing room, having locked in the playoffs bye with their performance this week. Rookie top laner Gabriël "Bwipo" Rau made his EU LCS debut, and managed quite a good showing for his first time out.

Fnatic made the top lane a priority this game, helping out rookie top laner Bwipo for his first outing and securing first blood on opposing top laner Matti "WhiteKnight" Sormunen. Fnatic was also able to secure the first turret of the game, and while UoL managed to get one back, it was at the expense of control of the Rift Herald. With the top lane secure, Fnatic moved to the bottom side of the map, taking the first Dragon of the game, before pushing in another turret to extend their gold lead. A skirmish that broke out allowed Fnatic to claim two more kills, and while the teams traded turrets and the Unicorns scored their first kill, Fnatic was still able to secure the second Dragon of the game.

A small lull in the game followed, as both teams looked for an advantageous engage, before Fnatic once again took down WhiteKnight, and in the following skirmish over the third Dragon, also managed to take down the support from UoL, Eun "Totoro" Jong-seop. Fnatic then turned their eyes to the Baron, and once that was secure, pushed into the base of the Unicorns, taking down their bot lane duo. With not many members remaining to defend, the Unicorns were quickly taken down, as Fnatic closed out another dominant performance to lock in their top spot.
