Is Mushi Forming a New Team with Ohaiyo and Coach 71 under the EHOME Brand?
When Southeast Asian Dota 2 pride Chai Yee “Mushi” Fung joined Team Malaysia, many were excited about the reformation of the powerful Team Orange roster that finished third in The International 2013 (TI3). However, his and Joel Chan “XtiNcT” Zhan’s departure shortly after destroyed whatever vision the community had for TI3 Orange to be reborn and had people wondering where Mushi would end up at. It looks like the legendary former EHOME and Team DK coach Tang “71” Wenyi has the answer.
In a recent interview, the former coach revealed that he was forming a new team under the legendary EHOME name. Aside from Mushi, 71 confirmed the participation of He “InFlame” Yongzheng, Liang “DDC” Faming and Chong Xin “Ohaiyo” Khoo. The fifth member is yet to be announced.
Aside from this new team, 71 also shared some insight regarding the disbandment of Team DK and the alleged scrim boycott from other Chinese teams prior to The International 2014 (TI4). According to a translation by Reddit user crimsonSoldier, 71 mentioned that the former EHOME boss didn’t want to be involved and was selling the EHOME brand instead. At the moment, only “the final decision of the investors to pay money” is needed to complete the EHOME restructure.
