How this matchup plays

Dealing with Chen's army is trivial for Anti-Mage because Mana Break inflicts massive bonus damage to summoned units. This allows him to tear through Chen's creeps with a few right-clicks, completely neutralizing his ability to push or teamfight effectively. Early gank attempts are also difficult to execute, as Anti-Mage can Blink away from slows or nets. Once he has his core farming items, he accelerates far past the tempo Chen can set. Later in the game, a farmed Anti-Mage poses a huge split-push problem that Chen has no answer for, and can often jump directly on Chen himself for an easy kill.
