This happened in many of the BOTB's, for example the mage botb you had diplo and strydur against each other round 1 and firebowlt dreyo round 1 where nihilum members are knocking each other out. I looked @ all the BOTB's and this occurred time and time again where nihilum members faced each other in pre title rounds.

tl;dr: that statistic is completely pointless
the only reason that happens more often is because you had more people signed up

you had 5 out of 8 people signed up in the mage botb, it's impossible for there not to be team-kills pre-title rounds, and the fact that all 3 non-nihilum mages were on the top side of the bracket meant that nihilum was guaranteed at least a 2nd place finish

in the same vein you look at things like agatha vs sickpuppy round 1, pudge vs bamzal round 1
