Why this works
Setting up an Arena of Blood often creates a situation where Chen's army is ineffective. Mars traps key targets, but Chen's creeps are either stuck outside the wall or get wiped out by the same area damage meant for heroes inside. This reduces Chen's impact during these crucial fights to little more than a Hand of God save, which often isn't enough. Their overall game plans are also out of sync. Chen wants to apply constant pressure with his units from early on, while Mars needs specific levels for his teamfight timing. They end up operating on different schedules and wanting to play in different areas of the map, preventing the pair from building momentum.
