Suppose Blue has 14 kills and Red has 18 when Blue destroys Red's Nexus. Blue wins the map. A total-kills pick uses all 32 kills, while a pick on the team with more kills goes to Red.
It concerns the first turret destroyed on the specified map. The team that takes it can still lose the map.
A team that loses map one and wins maps two and three wins the series 2-1. All three maps count for an over 2.5 maps pick.
