Strategy
Ursa has low base damage so you might want to hit creep once or twice to apply Fury Swipes before lasthitting.
You can jump over walls, cliffs or into treelines with Earthshock.
Ursa typically farms very slowly before Battlefury so you need to play actively and look for kills to gain networth.
Ursa can take 
Roshan on his own fairly early due to Fury Swipes stacking. Get a 
Smoke of Deceit and 
Morbid Mask or call a teammate with you to tank Roshan early on to secure it.
Itemize against kiting as you don't necessarily want to switch targets too often due to Fury Swipes stacking.
Consider buying 
Aghanim's Shard after your 3 core items to help with tankiness.
Ursa can solo kill tormentor with Enrage to secure the
Aghanim's Shard.
Counter Strategy
Keep distance from Ursa as he is able to build up damage against you with Fury Swipes.
Consider saving your disables against Ursa's Enrage status resistance increase.
Eul's Scepter of Divinity is great for kiting Enrage as it doesn't get affected by its status resistance.
Ghost Scepter, 
Force Staff,
Eul's Scepter of Divinity and 
Hurricane Pike are great for kiting Ursa.
Ursa is able to take Roshan early on. Ward and check Roshan frequently before the 20 minute mark.
Ursa can solo kill tormentor and grant his team an
Aghanim's Shard. Place wards near the Tormentor or check it regularly when Ursa is missing to prevent a free pickup
