How this matchup plays
Controlling the fight really comes down to who gets the first move. Axe can instantly delete Grimstroke if he manages a clean Berserker's Call initiation. The challenge for Axe is actually getting into position, because Grimstroke is excellent at kiting from the back lines with slows and his Phantom's Embrace. If Axe jumps a different target, a good Soulbind can lock him down and completely reverse the gank.
