Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit wins the Earth Spirit vs Kunkka matchup: Earth Spirit beats Kunkka in 50.31% of 4,663 ranked matches.
Thinking Kunkka's X Marks the Spot combo is a sure thing is a common mistake in this matchup. Earth Spirit has a full toolkit for ruining that plan. He can Boulder Smash the marked target to safety, completely breaking the setup. Alternatively, a well-timed Geomagnetic Grip can silence Kunkka right as the target returns, preventing the Torrent or Ghostship from being cast. Earth Spirit himself is mobile enough with Rolling Boulder to dodge these big area-of-effect spells. This constant disruption can be very frustrating for Kunkka. It's not a complete shutdown, though. The Admiral can still land his spells in chaotic teamfights and is durable enough to survive Earth Spirit's initial assault.
