However in their most recent professional matches in Liga Pro Gaming Season 5, they displayed disappointing result as they lost against some tier 3 team including Gorillaz-Pride and Thunder Predator in the group stage.
As Playmakers Esport is showing such inconsistency result by taking down Infamous (tier 2 team ) easily but lost against tier 3 team badly, we believe EHOME is having better hand in this match-up.
