Why this works

Facing a gank from Io and Earth Spirit can feel impossible to escape. Tether gives Earth Spirit the extra movement speed he needs to close the gap for a guaranteed Rolling Boulder initiation. Once he's on top of a target, Overcharge provides some extra right-click pressure and makes Earth Spirit surprisingly tanky. However, the partnership relies heavily on that initial jump. If Earth Spirit misses his roll or gets disabled before he can kick or pull a Stone Remnant, the gank often fizzles out. Both heroes also require tight coordination for a Relocate play to work, which makes the pairing less reliable than it might seem on paper and keeps their success fairly even.
