How Brewmaster and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Sand King win 51.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 510 matches.
Setting up for a teamfight with this pair can feel a bit redundant. Both Brewmaster and Sand King want to be the primary initiator, but their abilities don't always overlap effectively. Sand King needs to find a moment to channel Epicenter before jumping in with Burrowstrike, which can be hard to coordinate with Brewmaster's own timing for Primal Split. Often, one hero's big ultimate will go off, causing the enemy to scatter or use defensive items before the second hero can have their own moment. The control from both heroes is strong, but it can be difficult to layer it perfectly, leaving gaps for opponents to react and survive the initial chaos.
