Swiss stage picks have been made harder this year. In 2024 and 2023, the Swiss stage predictions for LoL Worlds Pick’ems were only about picking the 8 teams who will qualify for playoffs.
But this year, with no play-ins predictions (and perhaps due to an absurdly high number of winners to the 2025 MSI Pick’ems), Riot decided to increase the difficulty by having us guess one team that’ll qualify 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2.
Note that this year, play-ins and Swiss predictions are grouped together, so you’ll have to predict the 8 winners out of 17 total teams qualified for Worlds and won’t get a refund in case you bet on the wrong team out of T1 and iG.
Each team correctly predicted to advance awards 10 points, and each correct score guessed grants an additional 15 points.
Playoffs picks will have you guess the winner of all 7 series, like every year.
This year, however, due to Worlds schedule, we’re returning to picking all playoff predictions once at the start of quarterfinals, instead of making quarters, semis, and finals picks separately.
The correct quarterfinal outcomes guessed grant 10 points each, with the semifinals yielding 20 and the finals giving a whooping 80 points for a correct pick!
All correct picks award points, scaling up the further into the tournament the matches are.
Every participating player will receive an emote for the Swiss pick, and an Esports capsule for the Knockout picks.
Rewards are then given out based on the points earned. For the matches:
For Crystal Ball picks, the rewards include three emotes, Esports capsules, and Trials of Twilight Xin Zhao as well (with no further details yet).
Factions are a new feature of the LoL Worlds Pick’ems 2025! You will be offered to pick a faction among content creators. And at the end of LoL Worlds Pick’ems, the faction with the highest average score will yield the exclusive “Float On” emote to all of its members.
It’s about the average score and not the total one, so whether you pick a smaller or bigger content creator doesn’t matter!
