Pick'Em Challenge Trophy

The Pick’Em Challenge trophy is a badge that can be displayed next to your avatar in game.

Correct picks in either Pick’Em Challenge game award points and a bronze badge that can be leveled up to silver or gold. To make a pick, you must own an unused sticker for the team you choose. A single team sticker is sufficient for picking that team multiple times throughout the event.

Making a pick will lock the sticker for the day, it will not be usable or tradable until the next day. Undoing a pick will not unlock the sticker, it will still be unusable and untradable until the event day is complete. Trophies will be awarded after the tournament.

Leaderboards for you and your friends

In addition to winning a trophy for each game, you can compete with your friends on the Pick'Em Friends Leaderboards. Each stage of the event provides an opportunity to score points.

What is the Pick’Em Challenge?

In the Pick’Em Challenge, your goal is to score as many points as possible by correctly picking winning teams and top players as the tournament progresses.

How do I play?

There are two Pick'Em Challenge games to play, the Team Pick'em Challenge and the Player Pick'Em Challenge. Your score for each game is added together, and your total score determines your reward.

In the Team Pick'Em Challenge, your task is to correctly pick the teams that will advance from each stage of the tournament. For example, on the first day of the event, you would pick a team you think will advance from Group A to the quarterfinals by winning both of their matches that day. In the Player Pick'Em Challenge, your task is to pick a player who will top the leaderboard in their group or match for a particular statistic. For example, on the first day of the event, you would pick a player who would have the highest headshot percentage in Group A on that tournament day.

To make a pick in the Team Pick'Em Challenge, you must own an unused sticker for the picked team. To make a pick in the Player Pick'Em Challenge, you must own an unused sticker autographed by the player you would like to pick.

How do I score points in the Pick’Em Challenge?

You can score up to 200 points by making correct picks in the Team Pick’Em Challenge and the Player Pick’Em Challenge.

For both Team and Player Pick'Em Challenges, each day of the event provides an opportunity to score 25 points: 24 for correct picks and 1 just for playing.

What do I get for picking correctly?

You can earn a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Pick'Em Challenge Trophy by scoring 25, 50, or 75 points, respectively. Pick'Em Challenge Trophies are badges that are displayable on your CS:GO avatar and on your Steam profile. In addition to winning a trophy you can compete with your friends on the Pick'Em Friends Leaderboard.
