Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King wins the Gyrocopter vs Sand King matchup: Sand King beats Gyrocopter in 55.05% of 198 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by Sand King is often a death sentence for Gyrocopter. Burrowstrike closes the gap instantly, and Gyro has no built-in escape to survive the follow-up. Even if Gyrocopter survives the initial stun, Sand Storm forces an awkward response; he can't be targeted by right-clicks without detection, completely disrupting his Flak Cannon damage. Trying to fight inside the storm is risky against its sustained damage. Ultimately, Sand King is great at getting on top of a backline hero, and Gyrocopter is exactly the kind of target he wants to find and delete with an Epicenter before a fight can properly start.
