The first Pick'Ems event of the 2025 VCT season is about to launch, giving Valorant esports fans the chance to predict match outcomes and earn exclusive rewards. Starting May 28 with the 10.10 patch, players can access Pick'Ems through both the in-game client and the official website to test their esports knowledge during Masters Toronto.
How Masters Toronto Pick'Ems Work
Pick'Ems will be accessible in two convenient ways: through the Esports tab in the Valorant client (starting with patch 10.10) or via the web at valorantesports.com/pickems. The system allows players to predict match results throughout the tournament, with picks automatically saved as they're made.
The prediction window is divided into two distinct phases to match the tournament structure:
- Swiss Stage Picks: May 28 at 10:00 AM PT through June 7 at 9:15 AM PT
- Playoffs Picks: June 11 around 5:00 PM PT through June 13 at 9:15 AM PT
What rewards can players earn?
Riot Games has prepared a tiered reward system based on prediction accuracy:
- All participants receive the "EH?" title just for making their first picks
- Top 50% of participants earn the "Sweet Victory" gun buddy
- Top 20% of participants receive the exclusive "Pick'Ems Master: Sweet Victory" gun buddy
- Perfect bracket predictors (100% correct) will earn the ultra-rare "100%" title
Regional Eligibility Restrictions
While the Pick'Ems feature is widely available, some regions are excluded due to local regulations. Players in China, Taiwan, several Southeast Asian countries (including Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Hong Kong, and Macau), Quebec, and certain other regions will not be eligible to participate.
Additional restrictions apply to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Crimea, Sudan, Venezuela, and Syria. Players should check the official eligibility requirements if they're uncertain about their region's status.
How To Follow The Tournament
Beyond participating in Pick'Ems, fans can follow all Masters Toronto action through Valorant Esports' official channels on Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. The tournament represents a major milestone in the 2025 VCT season and will feature top teams from across the global competitive regions.
For players new to Pick'Ems, the process is straightforward—simply sign in, navigate to the Pick'Ems section, and start making predictions based on your esports knowledge or intuition. As Riot Games playfully suggests in their announcement, "Sometimes flipping a coin is the strategy."
