EHOME and CDEC will face each other in the DPL-CDA Professional League Season 2 semifinals. The DPL-CDA Professional League is one of the best Chinese Dota 2 tournaments with the top Dota 2 teams in attendance. The tournament has a ¥1,300,000 prize pool with ¥600,000 reserved for the winner.

EHOME Preview

EHOME barely scraped through the group stage of the DPL-Professional League Season 2. The team finished the group stage with four wins and five losses. However, its only match in the quarterfinals evoked an impressive performance by the team. The 2-0 victory over PSG.LGD saw EHOME win Game 2 even with (or despite) the Techies pick.

EHOME’s performance in the past few months has been far from impressive. Despite counting famous players such as Faith_bian and Sylar on its roster, EHOME only managed to finish in the 5-6th place at the OGA DotaPIT Season 2: China and the ESL One: Birmingham Online China.

EHOME defeated CDEC 2-0 in their last match. The group stage match of the DPL-CDA Professional League Season 2. The team’s final match in the group stage was a 2-0 win over Team Aster, one of the best Chinese Dota 2 teams.

CDEC Preview

CDEC was the third-best team in the group stage of the DPL-CDA Professional League Season 2. CDEC has lost its matches to PSG.LGD, EHOME and Team Aster.Former PSG.LGD player, Ame has been instrumental in CDEC’s recent success. The player usually prefers a passive farming playstyle that gives him a huge gold and XP advantage over his counterpart on the enemy team.

He works well with his teammates who create the necessary farm for the player. Ame played the Anti-Mage twice in the team’s last match against EHOME. The farm-heavy dependent draft did not favor the team’s playstyle in that match.CDEC won the OGA DotaPIT Season 2: China after a 3-2 victory over Vici Gaming.

Pick: Over 2.5 Games (+110 @ Pinnacle)

CDEC’s performance has shown significant improvements and the team has a great understanding of the current meta. EHOME and CDEC have faced each other multiple times in the past few months. Three of their last four head-to-head matches resulted in the games going the distance of over 2.5 games. I am taking this match to end up in a similar fashion and the total number of games to be over 2.5.
