How this matchup plays
Choosing one of these heroes into the other is a calculated risk, as the lane and later teamfights become a test of spell usage. Shadow Demon has great tools for managing Primal Split. A well-timed Disruption can burn precious seconds off the ultimate's duration. Demonic Purge is also fantastic for singling out one of the spirits, as the continuous slow makes it easy for his team to focus it down and remove it from the fight. Brewmaster’s response is his Storm spirit. Its Dispel Magic can instantly save an ally caught in Soul Catcher, denying Shadow Demon’s burst setup. That same dispel also cleans up the powerful illusions created from a Disrupted Brewmaster, making the fight very dependent on who executes better.
