Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Earthshaker vs Grimstroke matchup: Grimstroke beats Earthshaker in 51.83% of 1,420 ranked matches.
It looks like a dream setup for Echo Slam when two heroes are tied together, but this matchup rarely plays out that way. A smart Grimstroke player uses Soulbind defensively against Earthshaker’s initiation, binding him to one of his own allies to ruin a Blink-in. Before the fight even gets to that point, Grimstroke can use Phantom’s Embrace from long range to silence Earthshaker, completely shutting down his combo before it even starts. Earthshaker relies on finding a perfect moment to jump in, but Grimstroke is excellent at creating chaos and preventing that clean setup from ever happening, often from a safe distance.
