How did the blue team win this event?

Is it just defaulted to the losing team when the timer runs out?

That's the Attack/Defend variant.

In order to win, the attacking team must successfully attack. If time runs out, the defending team has successfully defended, and therefore wins.

How is the Attacking team determined? Whoever controls the mine? What happens if they wrest control of it 1 second before it ends. Do we just win? SO we would have done better to have just let it kill the inhibitor 1 second before this video started?

The cart has to detonate at nearby enemy structure. If it doesn't then the defending team wins.

Gaining control 1 second before the event ends does nothing if the cart won't detonate.

How does it pick the attacking / defending team? The first person to take control of the cart? The losing team?

I'd say randomly.

From my personal experience, the 'winning' team is usually assigned as the attacking team and the 'losing' team is assigned as the defending team.

I don't recall being the underdog in a Nexus Blitz match and being forced to be the attacker during a cart event. If the other team clearly had the upper hand, it was either a neutral cart event or my team was the defending team.

I've had this when I was (in my own estimation) the defenders because we had most of our structures down (and we had less kills), and we were pushing the cart to destroy our first tower, and it blew up on us cuz it timed out and so the enemies won.

I can accept that answer. Figured I'd put it in bug report just in case of that :) It's happened twice now since the new release. Do not get me wrong. Fucking love this mode.
