The first of two American teams is eliminated after an even performance against EHOME. The Chinese keep presenting themselves as top teams, using Morphling in an excellent way.
This game did not show a leading team for a long time. EHOME and compLexity playing on the same level, no clear advantage visible at all. With compLexity relying a bit more on the early game with pushing heroes, EHOME gets the better endgame, making it basically impossible to counter Morphling and Chaos Knight at the same time.
Tension gets higher has compLexity thinks they can take Roshan savely after half an hour, but once again lose the fight, though getting the Aegis, with one more kill going to the side of EHOME. On top of this, Rubick manages to steal the Aghanim's Scepter and Level 16 ultimate of Brewmaster from Jeyo.
In the end, it's EHOME's effective kiting that secures the win in the second lower bracket round. Not using Ravage and Phantasm as long as not possible gives them the middle barracks after 40 minutes.
