Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster wins the Alchemist vs Brewmaster matchup: Brewmaster beats Alchemist in 55.23% of 851 ranked matches.
A race against the clock defines this matchup. Brewmaster has the right tools to handle a charging Alchemist, with Drunken Brawler's evasion mitigating physical damage and Thunder Clap slowing attack speed. Primal Split serves as a perfect escape from Unstable Concoction, and the Storm panda’s Dispel Magic can even remove Chemical Rage entirely. The fundamental problem for Brewmaster, however, is that none of this stops Alchemist from farming. If he and his team can't apply consistent pressure, Alchemist will eventually get items that let him brute-force his way through Brew's defensive abilities. The game often hangs on this timing, making the outcome highly dependent on team strategy.
