Why did SKT and SSG play on the same sides for all their games?

Does anyone know? What are the rules on this because this is the first time I've noticed this happen in any series.

The teams get to choose sides alternating. SSG wanted blue 1 and 3, SKT wanted red 2.

SKT played red all 3 games.

Yeah that's what he said? SSG wanted blue side for games 1 and 3 -> SKT is red.

SKT chose Red side for game 2 -> SKT is red.

Yeah, because Riot has each team alternate pick their side. Game 1 they let SSG pick. They chose Blue side. Game two Riot let SKT pick, they picked Red side. In game 3, SSG picked Blue side. That is why SKT was red side all 3 games.

Samsung picks side on Game 1 (Blue) SKT Picks Side on Game 2 (They go Red to specifically counter the Gnar) Samsung picks side on Game 3 (Blue again, they want first pick, don't care about counters)

Crown was countered by Faker twice actually due to this.
