How Brewmaster and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Phantom Lancer win 59.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 274 matches.
Securing the mid-game allows Phantom Lancer to hit his item timings without much pressure. Brewmaster is excellent at forcing fights and creating chaos across the map with Primal Split, which naturally draws attention away from wherever PL is farming safely. Later on, the control from Brewmaster’s pandas is a huge help in teamfights. The Storm panda can cyclone a problematic hero who might otherwise cause trouble for Phantom Lancer, while the Earth panda's stun adds another layer of lockdown. This makes it much safer for PL to close the gap, build up his illusions, and overwhelm targets without getting focused down himself.
