EHOME was one of the pillars of Chinese DotA, and one of the oldest teams in the scene. However they did not get the same support from their country as the other teams got and were even seen as a foreign team on the Chinese scene, because EHOME was, unlike the other Chinese teams, not part of D.ACE (Association of China E-Sports). ACE was therefore limiting their training partners along with other things.
After a period of instability, EHOME reformed in 2010 with the all-star lineup of 820, Burning, Dai, KingJ, and . With 820 opting to play support for the team, it became armed with arguably the best individual talent for each position as well as the veteran experience of DC, who became the team’s coach. With stunning form and complete mastery over the trilane 4-1 metagame that became the mark of the era, EHOME claimed 10 consecutive championships over the second half of 2010. Notable among this series of stunning victories lie a number of epic clashes between Burning and LGD’s ZSMJ, as well as the complete dismantling of the International Scene at ESWC 2010, where EHOME strode undefeated through some of the best teams in the world, including the pre-cursors to EG, Na’vi, and Zenith, cementing the Chinese Hegemony over the DotA scene.

- With its lineup shattered and the remaining veterans lacking in motivation, EHOME posted lackluster results, failing to reach any major finals. Despite its seemingly moribund form, EHOME had a last flash of brilliance when the veterans, along with LaNm and Crystal, fought its way through the loser’s bracket of The International 2011 to fall to Na’vi 3-1 in the finals. Despite this performance, EHOME was no longer able to remain competitive in the Chinese DotA scene.

- May 14th — Former TongFu player LaNm joins the ranks of EHOME because he wanted to focus on Dota 2 and felt like his old team could not provide what he asked for. However the player was still under contract. EHOME, after long negotiation with ACE, had to pay 50,000 RMB ($6,300) on behalf of LaNm for contract violations. The Runner-Up of 2011’s International, who was seen at the strongest Chinese team at that time, was the seventh team to be invited to the The International 2012 in late May, even before Chinese powerhouses like LGD and TongFu(who had to fight their way through the East Qualifiers) were invited. ACE did not approve of Valve’s decision and this arguably was the reason why they chose the original DotA over Dota 2 for their upcoming season of ACE Professional League.[8][9][10]
