Shanghai Major elimination: Lower Brackets

EHOME vs. Alliance

The deadly best-of-one elimination series began with Joakim “Akke” Akterhall killing the courier and getting first blood on Wang “old chicken” Zhiyong on the mid lane. After a great start, EHOME was able to make a swing in their favor, with fantastic rotations as well as coordination followed by a swing back in favor of Alliance. The game progressed as a roller coaster of advantages and momentum before Alliance was able to start taking great team fights and run away with the lead.

Shanghai Major results: EHOME 0:1 Alliance. Alliance continues in the Lower Brackets, after getting EHOME eliminated from the event.
