Following heavy rumours brought about by an interview with ex-DK and EHOME manager 71, it has come to light that the legendary Chinese organisation will be returning to the scene with a new squad, formed of my Chai 'Mushi' Yee Fung, my Chong 'Ohaiyo' Xin Khoo, cn He 'InFlame' Yongzheng, cn Liang 'DDC' Faming, and one more player who is yet to be revealed.

This would mark the first appearance of EHOME in the scene since their disband in late 2012, after a dissapointing 5-6th placing in TI2. The organisation enjoyed the company of many Chinese legends however, such as the revered cn Xu 'BurNIng' Zhilei and cn Zou '820' Yitian, who carried the roster to 2nd place at TI1.

Any more details other than 4/5 of the roster aren't currently known, but speculation can be made on the 5th member, with sg Benedict Lim 'hyhy' Han Yong leading the races so far, considering he is another well known player in the Asian scene without a team and has said he would like to return to playing in a recent AMA on Reddit.

Sadly for fans, it may be a while before we get to see the new roster showcase their talents on a big stage. StarLadder XI is already underway, and few major events are scheduled for the coming months. However, an announcement of this magnitude is sure to attract attention, so special events may spring up to commemorate the formation of the star-studded roster.


How do you think this roster will match up in the Chinese scene or on the world stage? Leave your opinions on that, and the possible 5th member in the comments!
