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.
