EHOME to be the first team to go home for MDL Chengdu!

Despite playing in homegrounds and a brilliant performance in the upper bracket, EHOME was forced back into the corner of the lower bracket elimination today at MDL Chengdu. Luckily
It wasn’t “Best of 1” series to fight for elimination, still it’s a fight for their tournament lives.

Team Liquid’s previous game wasn’t going well in their way since former alliance roster joined the organisation, struggled to find their footing and feeling the pressure of the organisation’s
name to keep up to the hype. Although the team had a minor breakthrough at DreamLeague Season 12, finished the event in fourth place, most of their journey have fallen short. With this tournament
right now, this is their chance to redeem and live up to the name of Liquid and after finishing top of their group that seemed likely – unitl J.Storm managed to overcome them in the upper bracket.
Today they will facing up against the chinese powerhouse “EHOME” which consists of two ex-Wings Gaming TI winners and who were also fresh off a best-of-one victory over Team Spirit.

EHOME and Liquid entered the battle in game one on an even match. Nearing 40-minutes of the game, things shifted to be a “stalemate” situation, with neither able to achieve an advantage. However it cost one quick
mistake from vtFaded sven that caused him to use buyback and started a series of mistakes that lead to Team Liquid’s certain victory. While EHOME keeps the dream alive, Liquid were also facing the same situation
with EHOME and won’t allow EHOME to win the series. Thus moving to game 2 with flawless execution as they dominate EHOME.
