How Brewmaster and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Grimstroke win 53.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,348 matches.
Teamfights with this pair can feel a bit disjointed. Grimstroke excels when he can lock two heroes down with Soulbind, setting up for clean follow-up. Brewmaster’s main teamfight contribution, Primal Split, often does the opposite: it creates chaos and encourages enemies to scatter as they deal with his pandas. This can make it difficult for Grimstroke to get full value from his spells, as his targets may be forced apart. While Brewmaster’s Earth panda can stun both Soulbound targets, the overall game plan is frequently pulling in two different directions. The success of a fight depends on which hero’s tempo takes over, making for an inconsistent pairing that doesn't build momentum easily.
