The Mighty Coin will always give everyone the same picks in order to preserve fairness. However, it won't (I hope) always give everyone PERFECT picks.
So uh, yeah. Praise the Coin.
not sure why they changed the format of pick'ems, before every group fit on one screen for easy screenshots/sharing but now there's just so much wasted space.
We agree and are looking to update the desktop design soon to take more advantage of the size.
For context, the overall code base was updated to make pick’em friendly to mobile users (old pick’em was a nightmare outside of desktop).
Keep the feedback coming!
It's time...only hopium addicts may enter this chat
YES BROTHER PASS ME THAT HOPIUM
Crazy how times change. Faker and T1 are on the HOPIUM train.
Remind them to add "Group F" during group stage pick 'ems: TSM, G2, TOP, GAM.
This is pure gold
I kinda wish we could see people's votes, really curious who's the true favorite between FPX EDG and DK
Oh maaaannnnn, yes! Well, time to build another feature!
FYI, the in-game mission for selecting a team isn't giving rewards atm.
Give it a few hours - sometimes the tech behind marking a mission complete takes a while, especially if a LOT of people are all doing the same thing.
We will double check this tomorrow with the team too just to be safe.
AHHH! Quick, page the dev team! We have a bug. I can’t seem to pick TSM.
…
oh no…
can we get some info on why some countries cant do pick ems this year ? been doing these since the first time, now i cant
Hi ozmega!
I don't know the specific reasons for every region/country, but in general it breaks down into one of these reasons:
I used to be in a group that did NFL pick em every season. We had a lot of fun with it until one of the guys added two bots: One that coin flipped each week, and one that just picked the favored team in Vegas.
We quit because the coin flip bot beat 3 of the 8 people in the group and the Vegas bot won the league by 5%. (we had the Vegas bot 2 seasons in a row and it won both seasons)
Yeah this is a good cautionary tale. We have implemented some penalties specific to usage of The Coin precisely for this reason.
We want everyone to be able to meme about Coin picks, and also to catch up if they missed the first few pick stages, but we don't want The Coin to somehow end up with more points than any other human XD
when can i start my pickems?
The crystal ball picks (overall winner) will unlock Sept 25th. Group stage picks are Oct 9th. Quarterfinals are oct 19th.
some of that may depend on what timezone you are in actually - you should check the article on lolesports.com and confirm (https://lolesports.com/article/make-your-predictions-with-worlds-2021-pick%E2%80%98em!/bltfeb45b04ae95d98c)
It's October 9th. I lean over my keyboard, eyes bloodshot. My fingers bleed from the furious notes I have taken, meticulously tracking every match played in every major league throughout the entirety of 2021. There are 20 monitors on my wall, each one tracking a pro player trying to level up in EU solo queue. heh, I think to myself, These guys have nothing on Balls.
This is my moment. I am the pinnacle of league esports knowledge. I can feel my consciousness merging with the data before me. Each flash, each tower dive, each kill another row and column of data informing my mental calculus. Billions of neurons reaching, striving, demanding an answer.
Who will win worlds?
I lean back in my chair and load pickem. The time has come. A choice will be made.
I better not lose to that f*cking coin again
didnt last year perfect pick ems get a pc?
Yes! We also had like...a lot of perfect picks hahahaha
Who needs Drunk Pick'ems when you have THE COINtm
THE COIN (NEW FOR 2021)
The Coin makes its debut for Worlds 2021! Too busy to pick or forget to lock in a stage? The Coin will do it for you! It will make random selections for players who miss a Pick Stage so they can always join late and let the RNG gods decide for them. So even if you missed out on making Group Stage picks, you can still check out what score The Coin got for you - you might be in contention to earn Points-based prizes because you won’t be starting from zero (unless you get SUPER unlucky).
If I lose to The Coin (spoilers - I will) I'm quitting Pick'em for good
I rest my fate in the hands of the coin. May the lord watch over me.

/u/KlauseTheBear Sorry to ping you but can you confirm we will receive the icons within the 2 day timeframe seems like many people have worries with this. I have 70 points since semis but not a single icon.
It should be 48 hours max, but if you are still not seeing anything please let me know and we can look into it!
What would happen if the winner already has all of the ultimate skins, out of curiosity? Would they just turn into skin shards, or an equivalent RP amount?
I believe in the past we have reverted to skin shards.
An upset is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.
They were only giving 15 of them even if thousands got it correct so pretty sure they dont care and its alienware giving the laptops anyways
Hijacking this for one clarification - the Ultimate Skin Bundle will be given to ALL of the perfect picks. The 15 limit is only for the other prizes.
