We continue to closely monitor the Chinese region. It so happened that we saw him least of all at the start of the DPC, as the teams had difficulties with moving and other aggravating circumstances.
All adversity is over and China is back. The teams catch up on lost time and delight us with bright meetings.
Today on review we have a potentially central match of the week. EHOME will play with Team Aster.
If one could expect a good game from Aster at the start of the DPC, then few people expected revelations from EHOME. As it turned out after several rounds, they hadn't waited in vain.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this far from predictable match.
Team Aster Form
Team Aster will play as the nominal favorite in this match. Perhaps one can agree with this.
Aster is the title team, the giants of China and all that. Recently, various Aster squads have shown a very dubious level of play on the international arena, however, within the region, Aster have always shown good play, which was last season, and what we are seeing at the start of this season.
Team Aster Roster
- Monet
- Ori
- Xxs
- Boboka
- Siamese.C
The composition of the battle, the backbone of the players in place, and the arrival of Ori is only in favor. At least that's how it seems now.
Team Aster Recent Results
- Beat TNC Predator 1-0
- Lost to Team SMG with a score of 0-1
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Vici Gaming 2-0
- Defeat LBZS 2-0
The season for Aster is also complicated by the fact that the top three players cannot come to China and are forced to play the DPC season from hotel rooms. However, so far this does not prevent Aster from performing well.
Team Aster Heroes
In patch 7.30 Team Aster favored Pangolier (11 matches, 45% wins), Storm Spirit (10 matches, 70% wins), Chen (9 matches, 77% wins).
The most successful heroes of the patch: Batrider (3 matches, 100% wins), Rubick (2 matches, 100% wins), Slark (2 matches, 100% wins).
EHOME Form
EHOME will play as the nominal outsider in this match. On paper, it really looks like this.
EHOME has assembled a new roster with an emphasis on young and inexperienced players. Since Spirit's victory at The International 10, this is standard practice for most teams, so there is nothing to be surprised at.
EHOME Roster
But what is really surprising is the performance of the seemingly raw players. She is very much even nothing, how to start.
EHOME Recent Results
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
- 0-2 defeat to ShenZhen
- Lost to LBZS with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Phoenix Gaming 2-0
- Defeat Invictus Gaming 2-1
At the start of the season, EHOME confidently bypassed Phoenix, and quite unexpectedly outplayed Invictus Gaming, who have not yet joined the season. At the time of writing the predictions, EHOME have outplayed RNG on the first map, which already indicates that they are serious about their intentions during this season.
EHOME Heroes
Most Picked EHOME Heroes in Patch 7.30: Razor (3 Matches, 33 Win%), Bane (3 Matches, 0 Win%),
The most successful EHOME heroes in patch 7.30: Wraith King (1 match, 100% win), Ogre Magi (1 match, 100% win).
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams did not play against each other in these lineups. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation within the framework of official events.
Outcome
In this match, I am sure, we will have a close game. I don’t presume to accurately predict the winner, but the taken card from EHOME looks like an obvious thing.
