To illustrate this point, looking at all the 1v1 league games posted to OSN over the past 3 months for players who have played at least 100 games and been the first player at least 95% of the time results in the following:

472/477 - 320 - (50,45,33,36,40,48,42,51,51,52,29)
256/261 - 91 - (14,23,26,27,28,21,25,23,26,28,20)
241/245 - 148 - (20,21,20,22,27,25,35,14,18,18,25)
157/160 - 112 - (19,16,18,17,9,16,13,12,14,13,13)
114/116 - 94 - (12,9,13,10,11,11,7,16,9,10,8)
105/110 - 95 - (11,11,9,6,3,11,17,4,11,9,18)
103/108 - 92 - (13,13,11,8,12,12,10,6,9,7,7)

The first entry is the first player ratio, the second entry is the number of distinct opponents, and the third entry is the number of games per map.

Looking at all the 2v2 league games posted to OSN over the past 3 months for teams who have played at least 10 games and been the first team at least 90% of the time results in the following:

98/98 (Top 200 Arranged Team)
78/86 (Top 200 Arranged Team)
14/14
12/13
