Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sven wins the Storm Spirit vs Sven matchup: Sven beats Storm Spirit in 57.18% of 6,625 ranked matches.
Jumping on a lone Sven seems like a good idea until he turns on you. Storm Spirit relies on his mobility to survive, but Sven's kit has the perfect tools to stop him cold. A single Storm Hammer is often enough lockdown for Sven to activate God's Strength and kill Storm before he can react. Even if Storm initiates, Warcry provides enough durability for Sven to survive the initial burst and turn the fight around. Storm wants to zip in and out, but Sven only needs one good stun to completely remove him from the equation.
This forces Storm Spirit to play an entirely different game. He can't safely hunt for solo pickoffs if Sven is missing, and he has to be extremely careful in teamfights. A Sven with a BKB is Storm's worst nightmare, as he can't be controlled while he runs down the back lines. Storm has to wait for Sven to use his stun on another target before he can safely commit, but by then the fight might already be lost. Sven's objective is simple: find Storm and stun him. Storm's objective is to avoid Sven all game, which is much harder to accomplish.
