Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Brewmaster vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Brewmaster in 52.10% of 119 ranked matches.
Using Primal Split in a fight with a Pugna on the field is a big risk. His Nether Ward will punish the initial cast and every spell the individual spirits use, dealing a lot of damage back to Brewmaster. Pugna can also use Life Drain to quickly pick off the spirits one by one, since they're much squishier than full heroes. This can completely neutralize Brewmaster's biggest teamfight contribution. That said, I haven't seen this specific matchup come up much lately, so the real-world dynamic might have shifted a bit.

These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
