Xiao8, EHOME's coach, will stand-in for Faith_bian this month due to an injury.
EHOME was considered as one of the most promising teams in China this year. However, their results so far have not been on as good as people wanted them to be. After a series of mistakes, the Chinese team failed to qualify for either DPC tournaments in January. This means that they will have a lot of time to prepare themselves for the ESL One Los Angeles, which will be the third Major of this DPC.
Faith_bian will be absent from the following matches because of tenosynovitis that needs to heal. Our coach xiao8 will play instead of him until Faith_bian back in the team.
Hope bian can recover soon. pic.twitter.com/ZuXpWgpM6W— ehomecn (@EHOMECN) December 10, 2019
Even though EHOME didn’t make it to the DPC events, they will still play in two tournaments this month. Unfortunately, one of the stars in their roster won’t be there to help them out. Due to an injury, Zhang “Faith_bian” Ruida will be stepping down for a bit. Instead of him, Zhang “xiao8” Ning will be taking the offlane role in EHOME.
Xiao8 is a living legend in the Chinese Dota 2 scene, where he played for numerous teams. However, in the last couple of years, he has mainly taken the role of a captain.
It will be very interesting to see EHOME’s new captain back in action. Who knows, he might be exactly what the team needed to start winning.
