Pick'Em is in its name: from the group stage of Worlds onward, you basically play prediction on where each team will turn out in their respective Group Stage and Knockout Stage in two intervals. The catch is: once you lock in and the deadline is past for each interval, you cannot change your predictions.

Winning the grand prize is a miracle and a half as you need to get EVERY SINGLE PREDICTION RIGHT! Past pick'em winners and players who made it far took some madman-level predictions. Last year's pick'em only had 1 single player left by quarterfinals.

Yup!

The winners are very very few, I think there was one year there were actually 10 people that got it but it's still next to no one.

So we guess which team will win?

For the group stage, you simply predict the end results of each group (who gets 1st, 2nd, etc). A maximum of 64 points is awarded here; 16 points per perfect group. You don't necessarily pick who wins game for game. But because of the way it's done, this is the biggest killer of like 99% of all pickems.

If you survive or still need points for the secondary prize, the Knockout Stage is where you predict who ultimately wins the whole tournament, predicting the winners of each match up to Finals just before the KO Stage starts.

To get the ultimate skins (all 5 they are giving away) you have to get them all right. That means you have to pick groups order of finish 100% (ie one through 4) right and then you have to pick playoffs 100% too.

You can get a poro thing just for signing up and another one if you get 34 points.
