Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Broodmother vs Grimstroke matchup: Grimstroke beats Broodmother in 50.41% of 1,954 ranked matches.
Clearing out a wave of spiderlings with a single Stroke of Fate gives Grimstroke a simple way to manage Broodmother's pressure. It is a low-commitment answer that slows her farm and makes it much harder for her to build a critical mass of spiders to take objectives. Phantom's Embrace can also be a problem, locking her down and revealing her inside her webs if she tries to escape. The matchup is not completely one-sided, however. A smart Broodmother can play around these cooldowns by splitting her army or focusing on a different lane. If Grimstroke is not present to defend, she can still take over the map, meaning his constant attention is required to maintain this advantage.
