How Faceless Void and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Sand King win 46.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,771 matches.
Feeling the pressure to get key items online can define the early midgame for this pair. Faceless Void needs to farm, but Sand King also needs a Blink Dagger to initiate properly, which can create some tension on the map. Their signature combination also requires a lot of coordination. Sand King has to channel Epicenter and get into position before Chronosphere is cast, but he gets frozen if he's caught inside. If Void uses his ultimate first to catch a target, SK often can't follow up effectively with his own stun or damage.
When it works, a pre-channeled Epicenter into a multi-hero Chronosphere can win the fight on its own. The problem is that the setup is often obvious. The enemy team can see Sand King channeling and will try to stun him or simply spread out, forcing a bad ultimate from Faceless Void or making him hold it entirely. This turns big teamfights into a risky gamble on whether you can execute the combo before the opponent disrupts it, leading to very swingy and inconsistent results from game to game.
