First Blood: 64% of the time it leads to victory
During a recent contest in IHCS (a competitive Dota league), games were recorded to determine whether a team that earned First Blood (FB) would go on to win the match. Of 50 games polled, 32 times the team that earned FB won the game, while 18 times that team ended up losing. This is a staggering result, with FB leading to victory in almost 2/3 of Dota games examined. While the sample size is too small to make any definite conclusions, this result shows that First Blood is a decent early-game indicator of who will win the game. Get it done like Rambo.

rated R, i cant watch that
yeh as you said; i think the sample size is too small and also not indicative of other factors.
i think you should also clarify that first blood itself isn’t the measure; but the players getting the first blood is.
I`m waiting for the pushing teams strategy win ratio.
