How to beat Warwick as Urgot: the early game

Levels 1-2 are yours — Eternal Hunger only heals Warwick below 50% health, so while he is topped up your auto-Q poke and Echoing Flames chunk him for free. Keep your own HP above 50% so Blood Hunt never marks you, and shove the wave to keep him off resets.
