MSI 2026 Pick'Ems and Crystal Ball are officially live. Riot Games is inviting all fans to lock in their predictions before the tournament kicks off on June 28 in Daejeon, South Korea. Both features are available on lolesports.com or directly through the League of Legends client.
Pick'Ems: Predict and earn
Pick'Ems powered by AWS let you predict match results throughout the entire tournament. Rewards are tiered based on accuracy: just participating earns the El Tigre Braum "Pinfall" emote. Finishing in the top 50% adds the Zenith Games Blitzcrank "Settle the Score" icon. The top 25% also picks up the Janitor Thresh and Zac "Clean Up" emote. A perfect prediction record rewards you with the Broken Covenant Jhin skin — plus the Jhin champion if you don't own it — alongside all previous tier rewards.
Crystal Ball: A first for MSI
Crystal Ball powered by AWS makes its MSI debut this year, challenging fans to forecast the tournament's biggest trends: most-played champion, biggest upset team, potential MVP, and more. There are 20 total predictions to fill out — four resolve after the Play-In Stage (June 28 - July 1) and the remaining 16 at the end of the tournament on July 12. Locking in your Crystal Ball answers before June 28 earns the "Doesn't Look Good" Smolder emote. The top 100 players globally on the Crystal Ball leaderboard will also receive the Broken Covenant Jhin skin.
Eleven teams heading to Daejeon
MSI 2026 will feature eleven teams from every major region: Hanwha Life Esports and T1 from the LCK, Bilibili Gaming and Top Esports from the LPL, G2 Esports and Karmine Corp from the LEC, LYON and Team Liquid Alienware from the LCS, Team Secret Whales and Revolve Deep Cross Gaming from the LCP, and FURIA from the CBLOL.
