You are "killed by the guardians" when somebody kills you slightly before you kill them. We're talking nanoseconds here. This is best proven in a good ol' game o' smacks. When you and a guy are charging each other and swing close to the same time (since it's nearly impossible to hit at the EXACT same time) one of you is bound to hit the other ever so slightly sooner. So, whoever makes contact first, gets the kill. Since the other guy was mid-swing when he died, the punch still carries through. So, literally, you were KILLED BY A DEAD GUY. Well, the game can't say that can they? No. Hence, you were "killed by the guardians."
