Answer

Ruling: The winner of the coin flip gets to choose who goes first in game 1. In subsequent games of a Bo3, the loser of the previous game gets to choose who goes first.

Sequence:

  • Game 1: Random method (coin flip, die roll, etc.) determines who chooses first player
  • Games 2+: Loser of previous game chooses who goes first

Nuances:

  • The definitive ruling will be confirmed in the Tournament Rules Document (TRD), but this is how players have been playing
