EHOME Dominates Team Spirit at MDL Chengdu Major
StatBanana, the best Dota 2 strategy tool, brings you this article.
In a lower bracket best-of-one match, EHOME emerged victorious over Team Spirit at the MDL Chengdu Major. With a focus on stability rather than flashiness, EHOME dominated the CIS Spirit team in a 30-minute game.
EHOME opted for safe core picks, choosing Abbadon and Gyrocopter, while Spirit stuck to their comfort picks, selecting a mid Tiny and two unorthodox supports in Pangolier and Enchantress.
Although EHOME played it safe, Spirit went all-in with their comfort picks. Both teams started cautiously, aware that this was an elimination game.
As the mid-game approached, Spirit’s comfort seemed to give them an advantage. EHOME initially struggled to find their groove, while Spirit took a more aggressive approach. However, EHOME’s steady strategy eventually paid off, and their durable heroes were able to withstand Spirit’s pressure. In the end, Spirit crumbled and were knocked out of the tournament.
Team Spirit will be disappointed to finish in last place. Although they started the tournament strong with a win against Vici Gaming, it was their only victory. The team, now with a new sponsor, will have to regroup and prepare for their next competition, keeping an eye on the increasingly competitive CIS region with the improving Hellraisers and Virtus.pro.
EHOME’s investment in new talent seems to have paid off. Cheng “vtFαded” Jia Hao and Tang “897” Zhirui, the two new core players, performed impressively under the pressure of a best-of-one match. They were supported by two veterans from The International 6 winning squad, Zhang “Faith_bian” Ruida and Zhang “y`” Yiping. In the next round of the MDL Chengdu Major, EHOME will face Team Liquid, taking advantage of their inconsistent performance.
