Will Unicorns of Love surprise for a second time at Intel Extreme Masters San Jose?

Intel Extreme Masters San Jose is just around the corner, and with it another League of Legends tournament hosted at the SAP Center. Six teams will battle it out for a US$50,000 prize pool - five fan-voted and one directly invited. Unicorns of Love earned third place in the European fan vote, but due to Fnatic’s withdrawal from the event they will be making a second appearance in San Jose.

Harmony, harmony?

Last year, Unicorns of Love were voted into participating in Intel Extreme Masters San Jose. A new team just coming into the European LCS, no one had particularly high expectations for them. However, Unicorns surprised everyone with their impressive performance.

They started off with a 2-0 win against Lyon Gaming and moved onto the semifinals, where they faced Team SoloMid. Unicorns wowed everyone with their dominant play and their now legendary Twisted Fate jungle, beating TSM 2-0 and showing the world they were a team to be reckoned with.

New roster, same story?

Unicorns of Love are returning to Intel Extreme Masters San Jose with a brand new roster, with only the top laner and support remaining the same. Will the team manage to repeat their success from last year? We’ll find out this coming weekend!
