but when he also dies first that doesn't really matter as much. first deaths are just as important as first kills. a top duelist should have almost 2x more first kills to first deaths
That is an absurd expectation.
Not counting support players who have pretty few FKPR (specifically D4v4i, Chronicle, Suygetsu, C0m, Boaster), there are only two players at this tournament who reach this quota: Keznit and Sayaplayer. Keznit played two series, Saya three.
Among the playoffs players who have at least 0.10 FKPR, the best FK:FD ratios are (possibly with slight rounding errors)
Boaster: 2.2
Alfajer: 1.875
Aspas: 1.72
Demon1: 1.7
Nobody else is even above 1.5. According to your expectations, the only good duelists in this tournament are Saya, Keznit (and Boaster? Haha)
