Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Monkey King matchup: Grimstroke beats Monkey King in 55.65% of 460 ranked matches.
Casting Wukong's Command near Grimstroke is often a death sentence. Monkey King becomes a stationary target, guaranteeing the full stun and damage from Ink Swell, which can completely neutralize his teamfight impact. The problems don't stop there. Grimstroke's Phantom's Embrace is a nightmare for a hero who relies on mobility, latching on to silence and prevent any escape with Tree Dance. Soulbind is equally devastating, locking Monkey King to a target and negating his usual hit-and-run tactics. Every part of Monkey King's plan relies on being slippery and hard to catch, but Grimstroke has multiple reliable tools to pin him down and make his life difficult at all stages of the game.
