Riot Games Reveals VALORANT Champions 2026 Viewer Rewards
Riot Games has detailed the in-game rewards available to viewers of VALORANT Champions 2026, alongside a new physical prize for the tournament MVP. The cosmetic items are distributed through watching official broadcasts, participating in Pick’Ems, and using the Shotcall prediction extension.
Viewers can earn two cosmetic drops by watching the official tournament streams. The title "Prepared" is awarded for watching the group stage or playoffs for at least 30 minutes, while the spray "Stamp of Approval" requires 30 minutes of viewing the grand final.
The Shotcall extension for Twitch allows users to predict map outcomes, rounds, and specific game moments in real-time. Correct predictions generate points for the overall leaderboard. Rewards include the title "The Catch" for reaching 50 points, the Gun Buddy "Crab Mentality" for 300 points, and the Player Card "Frag or Die Trophy" for ranking in the top 3% on any map.
Participation in Pick’Ems also grants cumulative rewards based on accuracy. The title "Calculated" is given for completing the activity, while the Gun Buddy "Stone of Heaven" is awarded to the top 50% of participants. Those in the top 20% receive the Gun Buddy "Pick’Ems Master: Stone of Heaven", and a perfect result unlocks the title "100%".
Separately, Riot Games has introduced a physical reward for the tournament MVP. The selection is determined by representatives from the analyst studio, co-streamers, and media, evaluating player impact, consistency, and performance in key moments. The winner will be announced after the grand final.
VALORANT Champions 2026 runs from September 24 to October 18 in Shanghai. Sixteen teams will compete for the world champion title and a prize pool of $2,250,000.
