Match Prediction: Elephant.4AM - EHOME | Dota 2

EHOME Will win

The big bunker continues. Elephant and EHOME will face off as part of the second DPC 2021 regular season in China.

It is always pleasant to watch the fights of strong teams, and when the giants of China play, it is doubly pleasant. Although, are EHOME and Elephant specifically so good and whether they can show us the extravaganza of Dota - let's figure it out further.

EHOME Form

Let's start the analysis of the confrontation with the nominal favorite of the meeting. In the match between EHOME and Elephant, bookmakers see EHOME as such, and I completely agree with that.

In general, the situation with EHOME in 2021 is strange. It all started in January, where the team was constantly shuffling players and changing coaches.

All this confusion around the roster led to the result of the first DPC season, where EHOME almost lost their place in the first echelon. However, this result came in handy and allowed EHOME to rethink its game and work out problems within the team.

Results of last 5 matches EHOME

Defeat Elephant 2-0
Defeat Team MagMa 2-1
Victory over RNG with a score of 2-1
Lose from RNG with a score of 0-2
Win over RNG with a score of 2-0

As we can see, EHOME looks like a completely new team after the first DPC season. They won the FMWH Dota2 Championship Season, occupy the first line at i-League 2021 and started the second DPC season with a victory.

Elephant shape

Elephant has also faced some challenges since the start of the season. It seems to me that they are associated with the "star" line-up and, as is often the case, the inability to determine the leader within the eminent team.

However, it is likely that the elephants found a way out of the situation by signing rOtK as a trainer. The famous Chinese veteran has a high prestige both in China and outside the region, and if someone can put things in order at Elephant, then rOtK is the right person.

Elephant's last 5 matches

Defeat to EHOME 0-2
Defeating RNG 2-1
Defeat Team MagMa 2-0
Lose from RNG with a score of 0-2
Defeat Team MagMa 2-0

While it may seem that Elephant has not progressed much, however, it is too early to draw conclusions. "Elephants" have not yet entered the DPC-race, which is clearly their priority.

Personal meeting history

EHOME and Elephant have a rich history of official meetings. However, if we take into account the last 5 games, then the advantage will be on the side of EHOME.

EHOME have won 3 times, all of their recent games 2-0. Elephant beat EHOME in the first DPC season 2021 and at OGA Dota PIT Season 4: China.

The outcome of the duel

Having got close to the main moment of the match analysis, we come to the conclusion that we have two almost equal teams in front of us. Practically only because recently EHOME still look prettier and at risk I believe in their victory.

Bottom line: hard victory for EHOME (I advise you to keep a close eye on the live odds).

EHOME Will win

Forecast for the First Division Perfect World DPC (China) between EHOME and Elephant. This is a very important meeting, since both teams claim to participate in the Major and a face-to-face fight will decide a lot.

EHOME kicked off the DPC season by defeating Royal Never Give Up, and Elephant has yet to play the Dota Pro Circuit season.

2 weeks ago, EHOME played Elephant at the i-League Championship 2021. Back then, Exom celebrated an easy victory with a 2-0 card score. It makes no sense to take this result into account, patch 7.29 has changed, now it is 7.29b, and as part of Elephant, now on the trainer rOtk. So far, the "elephants" were able to beat Team MagMa only twice, once Royal Never Give Up, and also one defeat from the same RNGs on a new patch - 3 days ago.

EHOME often beat Elephant 2-0 on the cards, so this should be taken into account.

Match prediction: EHOME vs. Elephant in Perfect World DPC (China)

Bookmakers give odds on Elephant 2.064, on EHOME - 1.725. There is no understanding, due to what the “elephants” can defeat EHOME, Ekhom is many times stronger and now they have gained an amazing stable form.

With the arrival of rOtk, the results of Elephant have not changed much, there are no specific strategies and obvious heroes who are rated. It is worth noting that sometimes Eurus and Somnus play roles, Eurus goes mid on Morphling, and Somnus on Ember Spirit. Also, "elephants" love to play with Nature`s Prophet and flex it to different lines - easy and difficult.

Prediction: EHOME will easily outplay Elephant - 1.725 odds, with 2: 0 risk - 3.76 odds

EHOME Will win

Elephant now has huge problems in the game, they have little success with teams stronger than Magma, and if you watch the games of this team, you perfectly understand what I'm talking about. It seemed that with the arrival of the RotK coach, this team should start playing in a new way, but unfortunately, little is working out and it is strange that such a roster has not been playing very well lately. The most interesting thing is that these guys sag morally when they lose, they so wanted to play together with such a line-up and were sure that they would win, but alas, no. The match against EHOME will be difficult for them and therefore I will most likely not bet on the Elephants.

EHOME play their own Dota and they do a lot, they are played and do not hesitate to demonstrate their high skill in every match. They consistently play well and this cannot but rejoice, I see no reason not to bet on EHOME in this match. All five players show their class on each card and therefore the choice is obvious in terms of betting.

I recommend betting on EHOME in this match.
