Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Pugna wins the Earth Spirit vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Earth Spirit in 50.90% of 8,697 ranked matches.
A game against Earth Spirit forces Pugna to play cautiously from the very beginning. Earth Spirit has multiple ways to close distance and interrupt Life Drain, using either Rolling Boulder or Geomagnetic Grip to stop the channel. Pugna's usual escape, Decrepify, can make things worse by amplifying the magic damage from Earth Spirit’s combo. This pressure isn't overwhelming, though. A smart Pugna can make initiation very costly for the Earth Spirit by placing a Nether Ward in a key spot. If Pugna also maintains distance and stays behind his core allies, it becomes much harder for Earth Spirit to find a safe opening.
