Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition won the Summer Split of the Prime League in the first offline final. An event that was especially unique for Top Laner Daniel “Scarface” Aitbelkacem as he achieved his first title.

Scarface: “I’ve been working toward this for years.”

In the exciting Prime League final with Unicorns of Love against Schalke 04, the Unicorns were able to show their skills and convince on stage. The team scored a 3-1, which was a great joy especially for top laner Scarface. “It’s already very very great, especially it’s my first title and I’ve just been working towards it for years to finally get this title. Especially in front of the audience is something very special,” says the LoL pro.

But this victory was not an easy one for Unicorns of Love, as the team worked hard for it. “The last weeks and months have been very exhausting. I think I have rarely played so much and rarely tried so hard to get better. And our coach has also pushed us properly to really give everything every practice,” said the top laner. This discipline and the strong team spirit are also the reasons why Scarface was able to win the title.

He is also particularly grateful to his coach Fabian “Sheepy” Mallant: “I’ve been with a lot of teams and I’ve had a lot of coaches. And what Sheepy does so incredibly well is that he has great authority. He has great influence and he is respected by everyone. He gives us a path for the team and because he has that authority, he can enforce it and everybody pulls together.”

After the Prime League is before the EU Masters

However, the Unicorns of Love could not enjoy the victory in the Prime League for long – the EU Masters are already around the corner. The team is already preparing for this.

“We are trying to refine our style of play a bit and adapt to the new patches. After all, we did a two-patch jump, which means the meta has changed a bit. We’ve been practising new picks and new drafts, […] to be a little bit better for the EU Masters than we are now in Prime League at the finals,” Scarface said.

This will also be necessary if UoL wants to beat their opponent LDLC in the EU Masters. LDLC is a French team and is considered an extremely strong opponent that the Unicorns have struggled with before. Jungler Lurox, for example, has already mentioned in another interview that he would like to avoid this team for the time being.

Scarface himself wasn’t part of the roster at the time, though, so he’s not sure if it’s a matter of respect or fear. “I just think the French teams are just very strong, but I think we still have a good chance to win even against them in a best of five format,” the top laner is optimistic.

Scarface: “We are a very good team.”

Overall, Scarface is confident in his teammates, “I think we should go very far with this team. We are a very good team. After all, we have Vitality.Bee, Giants and Zero Tenacity in the group. I think Vitality.Bee is the strongest opponent. We should be able to beat the other two. That’s why I think we’ll get out of the group and then it just depends on which opponent we have in the quarterfinals. […] But I also think we have a chance against all the teams, so we have a chance to win the whole thing.”

So with Unicorns of Love also beating Vitality.Bee recently, the team seems to be on a high right now. The next few days will then show if they can really make it out of the group stage. Unicorns of Love’s next match will be against Giants on August 31 at 10pm.
