Game Changers Championship announces Pick’Ems challenge

Riot Games has announced that Pick’Ems will debut in VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025 in collaboration with AWS.

The challenge allows players to place predictions ahead of the VALORANT tournament in exchange for in-game rewards.

Group Pick’Ems will be open from November 13th at 9:00 AM PT, with picks locked 20 minutes before the first game of the championship, which begins on November 20th, 2025.

A variety of rewards can be claimed for both participating in the challenge and climbing the leaderboards with successful guesses.

Making one pick will grant the ‘Aura Farming’ title as a participation reward. Reaching the top 50% on the leaderboards will reward players with the ‘Pocket Killjoy Buddy’ gun charm. A golden version of the gun charm will be given to the top 20% on the leaderboards. Finally, a ‘100%’ title will be given to those who achieve a perfect pick run during the Game Changers Championship.

Here is how to sign up for the Pick’Ems Challenge ahead of the VALORANT Game Changers tournament:

Pick’Ems can be accessed through the official VALORANT esports web page, and is open to most regions.

Riot Games has regularly held Pick’Ems incentive for its tournaments. It recently brought Pick’Ems to the League of Legends World Championships 2025, and has featured the predictions challenge in other tournaments such as the Mid-Season Invitational.

Game Changers is an initiative by Riot Games that brings women to the competitive VALORANT scene. The championship is an annual prestigious event where the best teams from across the world compete, this time in Seoul, South Korea.

10 teams, including Team Liquid Brazil, Shopify Rebellion Gold, G2 Gozen and more, will compete in a Double-Elimination format. Draws were done at the Riot Games Arena in São Paulo after the Americas Last Chance Qualifier, deciding the first round of matches for the tournament.
