Best VALORANT Game Changers Championship Pick’Ems

Pick’Ems for the 2025 Game Changers Championship — powered by AWS — let fans engage directly with the global tournament by predicting match outcomes through the VALORANT Esports client or on the VALORANT Esports website. According to the official Pick’Ems page, submissions open on 13 November and lock shortly before the event starts on 20 November. Correct predictions yield not only bragging rights but also exclusive in-game rewards.

Because the GC Championship features ten teams in a double-elimination bracket at LoL Park, Seoul, every match matters and there is ample room for strategic picks. The tournament’s format offers both favorites and underdogs a path to the Grand Final, so a good Pick’Ems sheet can get you the rewards you need, but more on that in a bit.

The Field: Who’s Playing in Seoul

The ten teams competing are: Shopify Rebellion Gold, Team Liquid Brazil, G2 Gozen, Karmine Corp GC, GIANTX GC, KRÜ Blaze, Xipto Esports GC, Ninetails, Nova Esports GC, and MIBR GC. These teams secured their spots through a mix of regional finals, circuit-point qualifications, and last-chance qualifiers. Our favorites to win are MIBR, SRG, and G2.

Hotspawn’s VALORANT Game Changers Champions Pick’Ems

There are several strong contenders this year, both new arrivals as well as veterans who have already lifted trophies or made grand finals. Here is our bracket prediction for the GCC:

We believe in MIBR thanks to their second place finish last year as well as roster shuffles, including the addition of bstrdd. SRN continues to be one of the league’s biggest threats and has set multiple individual records this year. All of this combined makes MIBR a likely contender to lift a trophy on the international stage, but only if they can get through the veteran threats of G2 and SRG.

SRG has also dominated regionally, and with them winning the past two editions of the GCC, they are top contenders for sure, however, this year’s roster might not have the same firepower due to the absence of Florescent. As for G2, despite looking dominant during EMEA stage 3 as well as being one of the most storied teams overall, it remains to be seen how they will perform internationally but momentum is on their side.

Xipto is also a strong contender for making a deep run thanks to their domination during VCT Game Changers Pacific, but with so many players making their international debut at this event, how they will measure up against the tested, battle-scarred veterans of G2, MIBR, and SRG remains to be seen.
