Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster wins the Brewmaster vs Bristleback matchup: Brewmaster beats Bristleback in 50.93% of 1,661 ranked matches.
Facing a Primal Split is often a death sentence, but Bristleback has the tools to make it an awkward engagement for Brewmaster. The long duration of the spell gives him plenty of opportunity to layer Quill Sprays, and because the pandas tend to clump up, they all take repeated damage. This can turn Brewmaster's biggest teamfight contribution into a war of attrition that favors Bristleback. While the initial stun from the Earth spirit is a threat, he can often survive the opening and start running, becoming more dangerous the longer the fight goes on. Brewmaster struggles to apply enough focused burst to take him down quickly.
