Why this works
Facing this duo often feels manageable because their pressure is rarely coordinated. Sand King is looking for that perfect multi-hero Burrowstrike, but Chen’s controlled creeps have a tendency to spread enemies out or get in the way, making it difficult to find a clean initiation. On the other hand, when Chen groups his army to push down a tower, it's a slow and obvious process. This gives the enemy team plenty of time to get into position and prepare for Sand King, who wants to jump on an unsuspecting group. Their ideal scenarios are fundamentally different, with one wanting a chaotic teamfight and the other a methodical siege, so neither hero gets to execute their game plan properly.
