The second day of the main event of The International 6 saw titans fall to the new guard. Two former TI victors dropped their series today, and a favorite for the top saw an earlier exit than anyone could have predicted.In the first upper bracket series, the wild card underdog EHOME continued its dominating streak in the tournament against Alliance. Despite Gustav s4 Magnusson drafting comfort picks for his longtime teammates, EHOME seemed to have the teams number at every turn, always seizing the net worth advantage back in teamfights. In two 36-minute matches, EHOME secured a spot in the quarterfinals and sent Alliance to the lower bracket.Evil Geniuses, the victors of TI5, faced an intimidating Newbee squad in the second upper bracket match. Newbee was one of the strongest competitors coming into the tournament, but EG made the matchup look lopsided. Over two games, Syed SumaiL Sumail Hassan put on a mid-lane masterclass.
