Unicorns vs JSK: Wukong Tests Vi in EMEA Masters
Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition face JSK Gamefy in EMEA Masters Game 1, where Wukong challenges Vi despite a 39.6% global matchup win rate.


TL;DR: In EMEA Masters Game 1, Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition face JSK Gamefy with the draft model favoring Unicorns 75% to 25%. JSK’s Wukong pick into Vi is the pivotal risk: Wukong has a 39.6% global WR over 139G against Vi, so Shanks2 must turn early skirmishes into a lead before Vi’s reliable engage takes over.
Compositions: Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition vs JSK Gamefy
JSK Gamefy’s Shanks2 locks Wukong into White’s Vi despite that 39.6% global matchup win rate. It looks like a deliberate teamfight bet rather than a safe counter-pick: Wukong needs to find multi-player engages and snowball early fights, or Vi’s point-and-click access can expose him before he gets value from his ultimate.
Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition have a more direct engage-and-skirmish setup. White’s Vi and Kanin’s Ahri can lock down a target, while FornoReason’s Ambessa adds follow-up pressure. Kalista and Renata Glasc give DenVoksne and Twiizt tools to contest early objectives and reposition allies. Unicorns want to establish tempo early, then use pick potential to control mid-game fights.
JSK’s Renekton, Wukong, Mel, Yunara and Lulu combine frontline, area control and scaling. Dionelux and Shanks2 need to create space for Aeru’s Yunara to deal sustained damage, with marlon’s Lulu protecting the carry. If JSK reaches the late game evenly, its backline can punish a failed engage; the challenge is surviving Unicorns’ early pressure.

Draft Edge
The model’s 75%–25% split reflects Unicorns’ stronger team form (0.700 vs 0.333), Elo (0.653 vs 0.347) and season WR (0.594 vs 0.462), alongside the Vi-Wukong and Kalista-Yunara matchup edges. JSK’s route is to make Wukong’s engages count and keep Yunara safe; Unicorns can force fights around Vi’s reliable initiation. Given the counters and the strong individual Ahri and Kalista records, the draft supports the model’s advantage.
Polymarket Market
No Game or Series market percentages, pre-match prices or movement were provided, so a market comparison cannot be verified. The available 75%–25% figure is the draft model prediction, not a Polymarket quote.
Prediction
The model favors Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition at 75% to JSK Gamefy’s 25%, and the draft gives that lean a clear foundation. The main swing factor is whether Shanks2 can overcome Wukong’s unfavorable historical matchup and create an early lead; Kanin’s 7.3 KDA on Ahri also gives Unicorns a strong mid-game threat. Team form strengthens the pick, though Game 1 volatility leaves room for an upset.
