Worlds 2025 Pick’Ems: Detailed Guide, Rewards, and Streamers’ Picks

The World Championship 2025 is about to begin — the biggest event of the year! And to make it even more exciting for us fans, Riot Games is once again bringing back Pick’Ems! Your task is simple — don’t miss it, and here’s why. First, it’s fun; second, it’s a great way to test your League of Legends knowledge or intuition; and third, you can earn awesome rewards for correctly picking the winning teams. So, let’s take a closer look at what Worlds 2025 Pick’Ems is all about and see which teams top casters and streamers consider the favorites.

What is the World Championship 2025 Pick’Ems?

So, what exactly is the World Championship 2025 Pick’Ems? It’s pretty simple — it’s an event created by Riot for fans to predict the winners of the tournament. All you need to do is go to the official LoL Esports website and open the Pick’em section (just make sure to log into your account first). There, you’ll immediately see a window with your nickname and the tournament stages, which will unlock gradually as the event progresses.

To make your own Pick’em, go to the tab with the current stage — right now, that’s the Swiss stage. From there, it’s very simple. You’ll see fillable slots, and when you click on them, all available teams will appear. Based on your knowledge or intuition, you’ll need to place the teams according to their predicted scores. In the Swiss stage, you can select the sections for teams you think will advance to the Knockout Stage with a 3–0, 3–1, or 3–2 record.

And if you’re not yet familiar with how, where, and in what format Worlds 2025 will take place, be sure to read Worlds 2025: Everything We Know. Now let’s take a look at what the casters and streamers picked — maybe you’ll agree with them and make a similar Worlds 2025 Pick’Ems yourself.

Caedrel

The most popular League of Legends streamer, creator of Los Ratones, former pro player, and just an all-around great entertainer — Caedrel — is rooting for Invictus Gaming. But can they overcome the tough Play-In challenge against T1? We’ll find out soon. Here’s what Caedrel thinks about the teams that will advance further.

Akofena

Next on the list is streamer Akofena, who also had the chance to cast Worlds 2025. He, too, is rooting for T1. His Pick’em looks quite similar overall, but the teams with a 3–2 score are completely different. In his opinion, KT Rolster and FlyQuest will perform better at this tournament than G2 Esports and CFO. Who knows — maybe he’s right, or maybe his instincts just tell him those teams will get luckier with the bracket.

Kitty

Next on the list is the popular streamer and big G2 Esports fan — Kitty. Despite supporting G2, she knows that a 3–2 score is a solid and realistic prediction. She’s also a fan of Faker from T1, so she confidently picked them to advance with a 3–0 score. A good Pick’em, in my opinion — T1 is a team that’s always ready to surprise the world at every Worlds. Hopefully, that surprise won’t happen in the Play-In stage with an early exit at 17th place.

Jakos

Next up is the Pick’em from the professional player who once competed at Worlds, finishing in 2nd and 3rd–4th place — Jankos. Marcin is also cheering for T1, and judging by his Pick’em, he’s fully backing the Korean league. I really like Jankos’ Worlds 2025 Pick’em — definitely worth checking out.
