Why SSG was All games in Blue Side?

Who makes the decision to choice the side to play? SSG on blue side always take advantage in picks and bans, forcing SKT perma ban Galio, Kalista, Shen losing one critical ban to quit Crowns Malzahar away. So Malzahar no interactive champ, pushing line and cancels Fakers play making with his silence and supress. Sad end to a Monster Team, can SKT return next year? Never knows the future.

Game 1 SSG chose blue Game 2 SKT CHOSE red Game 3 SSG chose blue

SKT wanted to pull off the Yasuo pick. So they purposefully took red.

I think it's coin flip for side choice in first match, and then they alternate which team gets choice. In any case, in game 2 skt chose red side themselves, presumably desiring the counter pick potential.

In some cases first choice might be based on who has better stats (e.g. lower average game times), not entirely sure what was the determining factor here.

If I'm correct they vote & if they both want the same side they flip a coin.

Doesn't the losing team picks the side for next game?

SKT had side choice in game 2 and chose red.

Outside of that not entire sure how game 1 or 3 was chosen.
