ONE of the fastest-rising teams in the Dota 2 world, EHOME, is joining forces with another squad to participate in the Chongqing Major<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chinese squad, featuring eGo, ASD, Faith_bian, \u5929\u547d and Y aka y\u2019 Innocence, is heading to the tournament, held January 19-27.<\/p>\n

EHOME\u2019s performance in the recent Bucharest Minor was fascinating. They only lost one game, to Gambit Esports in the Grand Finals, and played a total of four games in group stage and eight games in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

In the group stage, they started off their first match against Playmakers Esports, one of the weakest squads in the tournament. Following EHOME’s whitewash over Playmakers Esport 2-0, they played against OG in the Winner\u2019s Match of Group B.<\/p>\n

OG were no match with EHOME, thanks to EHOME\u2019s understanding of the patch. They drafted Elder Titan in both games and successfully beat down OG with 2-0.<\/p>\n

After finishing in first place of Group B, they faced off Keen Gaming, the second placed team of Group A in Upper Bracket Round 1.<\/p>\n

Despite lacking any advantage in drafting against Keen Gaming, their wonderful decision making and game play skill still let them advance into Upper Bracket Finals without high pressure.<\/p>\n

In the Upper Bracket Finals, they once again showed their drafting abilities and used that overwhelming against Gambit Esports.<\/p>\n

Although Gambit Esports picked Medusa in game one, but EHOME reacted to that pick by drafting sniper in the last pick phase.<\/p>\n

Medusa is very imbalanced in late game thanks to his level 25 talent, split shot modifier. However, Sniper long-range attack up to 1075 (550 from his basic attack range+ 400 from his third skill ability + 125 from his level 25 talent) allowing him to free hit Medusa without any pressure in late game.<\/p>\n

In game two, Gambit Esports drafted Gyrocopter and IO picks along with Tidehunter as core. These draft are very strong because Tidehunter is a core that can transit from position three into position one according to the situation.<\/p>\n

However, EHOME out-played Gambit Esports because eGo, the position one player from EHOME played Anti-Mage, one of the most annoying hero in this meta of the patch thanks to his second ability – Blink and third ability – Counter Spell. Both skill increases his survivability a lot, as long as his team was able to drag the game for him after the 30-minute mark. EGO was always able to split push and join team fight whenever he wants.<\/p>\n\n\n
