Why this works
Creating two major threats at once can really open up the map for your team. Bristleback can run at one part of the enemy lineup, forcing them to turn and deal with his Quills, while Brewmaster uses Primal Split to disable and disrupt everyone else. This forces opponents to split their attention between multiple durable targets. The chaos from the spirits combined with a tanky Bristleback can give your other cores the space needed to farm or push lanes. The plan depends on the fight developing correctly, though. Both heroes occupy a similar frontliner role, and if the enemy team can burst one down quickly, the other can be left exposed without support.
