Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster wins the Brewmaster vs Dark Willow matchup: Brewmaster beats Dark Willow in 55.18% of 1,091 ranked matches.
Dealing with Primal Split often comes down to kiting the individual spirits, and Dark Willow has the tools to do it. Her Bramble Maze and Cursed Crown are great for locking down parts of Brewmaster’s army, buying her team precious seconds. Shadow Realm also lets her dodge the initial burst and reposition safely. The matchup isn't one-sided, though. A savvy Brewmaster can use his Storm spirit's Dispel Magic to instantly pull Willow out of Shadow Realm, leaving her exposed. He's also durable enough to often survive her spell combo and get on top of her. The winner is usually decided by who gets the jump and executes their spells more cleanly.
