Match Prediction: EHOME - Elephant.4AM | Dota 2
The International 10: China QualifierThe Chinese qualifier for The International is coming to an unexpectedly fast end. The moment, of course, is an exciting one. The fate of the penultimate trip to Bucharest will be decided in one episode.
In the grand final, perhaps the two most obvious contenders for the 5th slot from China came together. Both Elephant and EHOME predicted great results in these qualifiers. But the "big" result will only be a victory.
It doesn't matter who will take 2nd place and who played how during these qualifiers and seasons. What matters is a specific bo5.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from the potentially most epic match of the qualifying period.
EHOME Form
Let's start with EHOME. Quite unexpectedly, Sylar and company were in the rank of the first favorite to win the qualifiers. Unexpectedly for me.
EHOME's long-suffering 2021 season has been a challenge for EHOME. Starting with chaotic transfers, continuing with an indistinct performance during the first season and an equally not very confident second season, everything can change significantly today. To do this, you need to win 3 cards.
And EHOME can do it for sure.

In the match against Elephant, EHOME proved their effectiveness, taking advantage of the weaknesses of the “elephants” and turning the meeting in their favor. But will the scenario repeat itself this time?
Elephant shape
Elephant is very similar to EHOME this year in terms of performances. Gathered in a roster of "mega" players and the main stars of China, led by rOtK, they had to instill terror in their opponents. It turned out exactly the opposite.
If we recall the DPC seasons and tournaments outside (i-League 2021), then, in addition to toothless attempts to impose a fight on the big Chinese four, we will receive a defeat from teams of the MagMa level. Not that MagMa were weak, but such losses are not the case for the Elephant team.
By the way, perhaps this chaos with Elephant was influenced by bureaucratic problems. We remember how the players from their own pockets paid extra for the transfer of Eurus from VG, we remember that the team was supposed to play under the auspices of the 4AM organization.
As I said above, one bo5 series is important.

In the course of the qualifiers, Elephant has already faced difficulties. And it's not just me about losing from EHOME. Problems flashed in the match against RNG.
Personal meeting history
In personal confrontations, EHOME are leading with a score of 3-2.
Match outcome
So far, at the qualifiers, we have developed a tradition that the teams that have passed from the upper bracket win. Well, I think today the tradition will be broken.
In the match for reaching the grand final, it seemed to me that the Elephant themselves gave EHOME a victory, in particular, by performing an uncertain Dota. I think in the final the "super" five will come together and show their class.
Outcome: victory for Elephant.
