Is it just me or does anyone else think that these folks deserve some recognition as well? I mean with the Groups stage being as crazy as it was how hard do you think it was to get 0 points in Groups? I'd venture it was pretty hard!

As a reward I think these players should get a Dunce Cap Poro Icon to show just how professional their skills of picking brackets COMPLETELY WRONG are.

And this isn't even a troll, I really think they deserve this. It's got to be pretty awesome knowing your part of only 0.11% of people (more exclusive than RANK 4 EVEN!) to get it that much wrong. I give them props! Keep up the... bad... work? XD

Couldn't you just not pick anything?

For real tho, it is kind of a braggable achievement. I mean, I would look at it like*[slayer-jinx-unamused]* but still, impressive.

There are players with 0 points every year. No, they shouldn't get anything just for making a pick'em. It isn't a troll? Sure sounds like one.

Some people just like to pick upsets and under dogs.

There actually were people who legitimately had 0 points during the group stage, there were very few of them. Now you see a couple thousand because people never actually filled them out and they were added to the 0 point total when the bracket stage started.

I have exactly 33 points and forgot to pick for the knockout stage...can I get an icon that's half the cool one and half the normal one? :>

No lol

the 2k people you are talking about have 0 points because they didn't pick for group stages, only knockouts. There are 2k people who picked c9 and rng to win.

There were only 6-7 people who had 0 points from group stages. 2145 of them didn't even participate.

You just want an icon so you can be cool and unique, "oh ya lol XD i got 0 points im dumb XD XD," even though winners are clear in all of the knockout brackets.

I'm curious (since i didn't participate in pick 'em), what were the scores for the group stage? Did anyone got it right?

I don't feel Riot did a very good job promoting the pick-em contest this year. I completely forgot about last year and how even then, I only found out about it in a rather out-of-the-ordinary way.

I'd have liked to participate, even if I didn't get anything out of it. It feels bad to have missed out entirely.

they didn't pick, therefore, they didn't participate.

Blakiepug10/15/2016, 2:23:34 PM1 votes

There were actually only 6 players at the end of the groups stages who still had 0 points. The other 2000 something players with 0 points that you mention are players who did not make any picks for the group stages and have gotten every knockout round pick wrong so far.

After RNG Vs. SKT T1 there's only one person with a perfect Pick'Em..

im part of that 2151, I didnt participate at all and was counted, strange. I didnt get that poro icon either.

If im in the 2151 that should mean I participated lol, weird how this works.
