"EHOME was one of the pillars of Chinese DotA, and one of the oldest teams in the scene. However they did not get the same support from their country as the other teams got and were even seen as a foreign team on the Chinese scene, because EHOME was, unlike the other Chinese teams, not part of Association of China E-Sports. ACE was therefore limiting their training partners along with other things."
"On January 7, 2015, EHOME was officially revived by legendary EHOME player and coach Tang "71" Wenyi"
"ELeVeN's first team was Subvert, a team which entered the Fengyun Dota 2 Tournament but after being eliminated by Speed Gaming.int, disbanded. In summer of 2014, ELeVeN joined U5 as his team entered the Dota 2 Secondary Pro League but they did not manage to perform well in this tournament either and he left the team shortly after. Later that year, he joined Immortal Magneto Gaming as their offlane player and began to gain notoriety for his offlane performances during his time on the team. After having left the team in March of 2015, he had finally joined a top-tier team in EHOME during the post-TI5 reshuffle.
"Despite many people thinking that EHOME was extremely unstable after rOtk had departed for LGD Gaming, ELeVeN and his team managed to surprise everyone by qualifying for the Nanyang Dota 2 Championships and ESL One New York 2015 after defeating the likes of Invictus Gaming and Vici Gaming, solidifying ELeVeN's status as a top-tier offlane player."
I still think ex orange should have stuck together. Kyxy covered all of mushi flaws, so they could have done pretty much any draft they want. You want safe lane invoker + carry mid, or standard mid invoker, kyxy and mushi could swap roles without any issues. Core meepo? Sureeeee
Now it appears mushi will play support if invoker gets drafted. Not sure how good that will be. Also not too sure on inflame's support play and pool since he used to play mid.
Team seems pretty good, I feel bad for Whisper and demons though, especially Whisper, since I thought he was pretty good and now he's back to not having a team.

So far so good for EHOME, inflame seems to do well and isn't strictly hard support + Mushi's drafting has been the most refreshing change of team hero compositions so far for 6.83.
Ehome, Vici Gaming and Hellraisers have been equally refreshing but I see ehome as the team as the most capable of executing on their ideas though I see Hellraisers after their win in the EU scene becoming a trendsetter for that region.

Isn't whisper/Lin playing for LAI gaming?
Oh, is he? I haven't had a chance to see any of their games. That's cool.

I am pretty sure inflame drafts for EHOME since Mushi's drafts in Dk were rly standard iirc

I mean you literally see the captain/drafter sign on inflame's name during B/P lol

Mushi's drafting for DK definitely wasn't really standard. I mean his longest drafting stretch was right after they formed, when they were drafting and winning with literally everything.
edit: and yeah i realise this has nothing to do with the discussion. i'm just a nostalgic fanboy who's still sad his favourite team doesn't exist anymore.
EHOME vs Big God is one of my more anticipated matches for the qualifiers (DK reunion!), but honestly assuming EHOME can continue dominating and eventually qualify, the real test for them as a team will be against the tier 1 (newbee, vg, eg, secret, lgd) teams and if they can actually win bo3s against them, or if they are doomed to be another team malaysia of sorts, forever sitting top of tier 2.
