EHOME vs Royal Never Give Up Prediction: The favorite will win, but not without problems

On Friday, June 17, the second game week of the third round of the DPC China Regional Dota 2 League will continue. EHOME and Royal Never Give Up will play in the only match of the elite division game day.

DPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I is an online Dota 2 tournament that will take place from June 07 to July 15, 2022. Eight of the strongest teams from the China region will compete for $205,000. In addition to the cash prizes, teams compete for four major titles and the important DPC points needed to qualify for T11.

EHOME: Trying to keep on surprising

EHOME players had a sensational showing in the opening meeting of this summer tourney, as the young players turned the tide against PSG.LGD (2-1), whom they were able to defeat. Yes, EHOME gave PSG.LGD had a lot of trouble, but it never came down to a win. And if you consider that the form of RNG is also far from ideal, then you can try to punish the second grandmother.

The spring tour for EHOME was not as successful as the winter one. This team finished fourth in January and was supposed to play in the majors, but it was canceled at the last minute. In the first regional finals (a tournament under the auspices of Valve instead of the major), EHOME, as expected, was the weakest team. In the spring, however, the Chinese squad switched their second position curry by signing Echo to their roster. The replacement didn't bring a better result for the organization, as EHOME finished in sixth place at the end of the regional league. I don't think it's to blame for the Chinese understanding that they're out of bounds for any international tournament, as the team's actual play is not yet equal to that of the big teams.

The team starts the summer tour without substitutions. The team did not participate in the second regional finals but had no game practice. In early May, they participated in a tournament, Gamers Without Borders, which was attended by teams from China and Asia. The team finished that competition in third place, but the level of the teams was far from tier-1.

EHOME is one of the oldest teams in China, but last season was such a disaster for the organization that the bosses wouldn't mind forgetting the shame. Throughout the year 2021, the team tried to find their game, changing their manager and the coach, but they still haven't managed to qualify for TI10, and the front office decided to change their strategy and plans, including the roster radically.

For the DPC season 2021/22, the focus will be on the young talented players. The backbone of the new EHOME is made up of former Phoenix Gaming players: carry shiro and two supporting players - plAnet and zzq. Phoenix Gaming generally performed well, but not for China's elite division. The recruits would have played in the elite division anyway, as they were great in the second DPC league of the 2021 season in the second division of China, but coming to EHOME is a breakthrough for the guys, but can they make it to TI11?

Royal Never Give Up: A very strange game at the start

A very strange game for the RNG team in the first match against Dandelion (2-0). On two maps, the favorite twice led economically but constantly lost the advantage. At the same time, Dandelion's game is far from the strongest, and EHOME even looks stronger. It's hard to believe in two defeats for RNG at the start. At that, not the most important competitors, but it won't be easy with such a game.

Yes, the RNG team could get through to the majors in the spring DPC round (where the Chinese teams didn't make it), but they did it in a very unsteady way. First of all, the end of the championship was a failure, losing all matches to direct competitors with a score of 2-0 - these are games against PSG.LGD, Aster and Xtreme Gaming. The management of the Royal Club could not watch as their brainchild, which just started to show something in 2022, collapsed before their eyes, and after the regional league, they made replacements.

kaka plays on the 4th position RNG now, and the 1st position is taken by a former SAG player - Ghost. The first "battle" test was unsuccessful because the renewed RNG squad failed the second regional final, losing two matches to PSG.LGD (0:2) and Xtreme Gaming (1:2), thus satisfied with only the fourth position in the important mini-tournament of the last spring.

But there were positive moments in the offseason! Royal Never Give Up won the tournament Gamers Without Borders, which included the Chinese and Asian teams, and in the Grand Final, they defeated BOOM Esports (2-0), the participants of the Majors.
