The VALORANT Pick’Ems system is here, and you can predict the winners of the game’s biggest events to earn exclusive rewards.

VALORANT Pick'Ems are officially live in-game. You can still go the route of VLR or making a bracket yourself, but the system put together by Riot Games gives you rewards for performing well.

If you aren't sure what Pick'Ems are or how they work, look no further. We'll go over everything you need to know.

VALORANT Pick'Ems are an in-game system that lets you predict the winners of events. The beta for the system went live with the 2024 VCT finale tournament, VALORANT Champions Seoul.

You essentially decide what teams you think will win for each portion of a VALORANT event. If you're right, you get points towards rewards.

How to make your VALORANT Pick'Ems

Now that you know what Pick'Ems actually are, you can start submitting your predictions. Here are the steps to follow within the game to get your Pick'Ems in:

  1. Load into VALORANT
  2. Open the Esports Hub
  3. Select the Pick'Ems section
  4. Click the Get Started button
  5. Press Make Picks under the currently available Stage of the tournament
  6. Set teams in their placement for their respective Group or choose the winners of matches in the Playoffs

You'll see a bar at the bottom fill up when your full selections are made, including a countdown for when your VALORANT Pick'Ems are locked. You have until that timer hits zero to change any of your predictions. Note that you can also make your selections on the web instead of in-game.

As previously mentioned, the first edition of VALORANT Pick'Ems is for Champions Seoul. On the main page of the Pick'Ems section, you'll see the available rewards. Those are:

  • Crystal Ball Spray - Make a pick
  • Gonggi Buddy - Finish top 50%
  • Pick 'Em Master: Gonggi Buddy - Finish top 20%
  • 100% Title - Perfect picks

Each event will have its own rewards and we'll update you here every time a new round of Pick'Ems begins.
