The roster EHOME will use to participate in the upcoming Major will consist of only two players from their TI5 roster.
This season's EHOME roster will consist of mostly of newer Chinese players as opposed to last season's team of three Chinese scene veterans and two new players. Players from last season who have left the roster are offlaner, Bai 'rOtk' Fan, support player, Leong 'ddc' Fat-Meng and Carry player Yang 'YJ' Pu. Filling in these gaps will be three players from various Chinese teams such as EP and HGT.
EHOME's new roster:
Zhang 'LaNm' Zhi Cheng
Chen 'CTY' Tian Yu
Wang 'oldchicken' Zhi Yong
Hu 'KAKA' Liang Zhi
Ren 'eLeVeN' Yang Wei
This EHOME roster reflects an increasingly popular trend in the Chinese Dota2 scene where a well known team such as EHOME or LGD picks up a few new talents in the scene. This trend is most likely an indication that the Chinese scene is slowly transitioning to their next generation of players as the tier one teams are making space for the newer players by mixing them with the veteran players; in EHOME's case LaNm is mixed with the players. This slow but steady transition is good news for the Chinese Dota scene that was struggling with finding new blood to replace the veteran players who were retiring a few years ago.
