Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Phoenix wins the Chaos Knight vs Phoenix matchup: Phoenix beats Chaos Knight in 52.73% of 10,415 ranked matches.
Seeing Chaos Knight get picked makes Phoenix a premium counter-pick for a reason. All of Chaos Knight's mid-game power comes from overwhelming a single target with Phantasm illusions, but that whole plan falls apart against Fire Spirits. A single cast cripples the attack speed of all his illusions, effectively neutralizing his ultimate and turning them into weak distractions. Later on, even if CK gets a good jump, a well-timed Supernova can completely reverse the fight, stunning him and his team after they waste time trying to break the egg. Phoenix can also safely burn down CK from a distance with Sun Ray, making it hard for him to stay in a fight.
