However if the sum of the numbers called were even, then team orange picks map, in this case.
Pre4 b. Exceptions: If a player has a Map Veto Pass, they can veto the 'map pick' and replace it any other map of their choice (See rule Pre4 b-c for more information on the Map Veto Pass).
Pre4 c. Pre-match Forfeit Rule: Once the 'map pick' has been decided, the 4 players are locked into the match.
