With the LoL Worlds Pick’ems 2025 opening on October 7th, new rules, and tons of picks to make, here are our own picks, alongside their reasoning, to help you with your guesses!
Before anything else, if you aren’t familiar with what’s going on here, make sure to acquaint yourself with how they work and what you can win.
Here’s where you can keep track of what choices are currently in the lead for Crystal Ball, and how! These sections will be updated after major stages of Worlds 2025. (Last updated on November 10th, after the LoL Worlds Finals.)
Note: The “Competition” column has been replaced with second and third places, when applicable. Having one of these as your pick still grants you points. Correct pick yields 50 points, second 30, and third 10.
