Your cs doesn't reflect the experience gained from minions. You just need to be nearby when the minions die. Cs is a better reflection of gold accumulation.

My guess is one of two things. Darius was just outside of exp range for even a single minion less than Fiora.

The only other thing that I could think of would be if Darius's jungler was top-side and just within range to soak the exp from a minion. This seems unlikely, but without vision, possible. It does make a difference though.

Alright, I actually went back and watched it again. They were both within range of exp for every minion that died, and I don't think there were any other champions in range to soak exp, so both of my explanations were wrong. I did figure it out though.

If you keep track of the number of minions that have died (again, not the number of minions killed by each champion), you will notice that at 3:13 they are both even with 3 casters clashing on either side.

However, since the wave is closer to Fiora's side, the reinforcements will meet the remaining minions first. I'm guessing that it is for this reason that Darius decided to take one more minion and back off, leaving two. This then allowed Fiora to take two of the remaining casters, putting her 1 minion worth of exp ahead of Darius, which was enough for her to reach level 4.
