Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark wins the Brewmaster vs Slark matchup: Slark beats Brewmaster in 51.98% of 2,093 ranked matches.
Thinking you can lock down Slark with Primal Split often leads to disappointment. While the control from Brewmaster's ultimate seems ideal for catching a slippery target, Slark has multiple ways to ruin the plan. A well-timed Dark Pact purges off the slow and damage from Cinder Brew, letting him keep moving and fighting back. If he gets caught, he can use Shadow Dance to become untargetable and wait out a good portion of the split's duration, or simply Pounce away to reset the fight. Brewmaster needs perfect timing to chain his disables before Slark can react. Otherwise, Slark survives the initial assault and can easily clean up the vulnerable Brewmaster once the ultimate expires.
