Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit wins the Earth Spirit vs Medusa matchup: Earth Spirit beats Medusa in 50.05% of 3,267 ranked matches.
Teamfights often come down to dealing with Medusa. Earth Spirit has the perfect tool for isolating her with Boulder Smash, kicking her away from her team and into a bad spot. The issue is that Medusa is incredibly durable thanks to Mana Shield, and she might survive the initial burst even when caught. More importantly, for Earth Spirit to make that play, he has to get right on top of her. This puts him in immediate danger of being petrified by Stone Gaze. He has the theoretical counter-play, but trying it is a massive risk. Medusa can frequently survive his attempt and punish him for it, leaving the outcome of their interactions down to execution.
