Riot just opened up free rewards for Valorant Masters London 2026, and most players are already sleeping on them. Pick’Ems are live right now, Twitch Drops are confirmed for the June 6 kickoff, and there is even a rare title on the table that almost no one will unlock. If you miss the Swiss Stage deadline, you lose your shot at the best loot permanently.

Masters London runs June 6 to 21 at the Copper Box Arena in London, bringing 12 of the best teams in the world together for a $1,000,000 prize pool. Before the first map is even played, there are free items waiting for you in three separate reward tracks. Here is how to get all of them.

Pick’Em Rewards: From “Bossman” Title to the Ultra-Rare “100%”

Pick’Ems powered by AWS are already open. You predict which teams advance through the Swiss Stage, score points for accuracy, and climb a global leaderboard. The reward tier you finish in determines what you take home.

There are two Pick’Em windows:

  • Swiss Stage picks are open right now (closes at the first match on June 6)

  • Playoffs picks open between June 11 and 12, after the Swiss Stage ends

Here are all confirmed Pick’Em rewards for Masters London:

Tier Requirement Reward Participation Make at least one pick “Bossman” Player Title Top 50% Finish in the top half of all participants “REF?!?” Gun Buddy Top 20% Finish in the top fifth of all participants Golden “REF?!?” Gun Buddy Perfect score Get every single pick correct Ultra-rare “100%” Player Title

The “Bossman” title is basically free. Log in, make your picks, and it is yours. The “REF?!?” buddy plays into the football referee theme Riot chose for London as a nod to UK sports culture, with the golden version being noticeably flashier.

The “100%” title is the one that matters to collectors. It is listed as ultra-rare by Riot because a perfect bracket across two Pick’Em windows, the Swiss Stage and Playoffs, is genuinely difficult. If you got the “100%” title from a previous event, you already know how rare it is on a player card.

How to Enter Pick’Ems Before the Window Closes

You have two options to submit your picks:

  1. Open Valorant, go to the Esports tab inside the client

  2. Visit valorantesports.com/pickems directly in your browser

Both methods work. Log in with your Riot account, select the 4 teams you think will advance from the Swiss Stage, and also pick 1 team to go 2-0 through the Swiss Stage for bonus points.

Regions blocked from Pick’Ems: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Sudan, Venezuela, Syria, China, Quebec, and Myanmar are ineligible due to local regulations.

Twitch Drops: Free In-Game Title Just for Watching

Riot has confirmed Twitch Drops for Masters London, and watching live gets you an exclusive in-game Title just for tuning in. The full Drops catalog beyond the confirmed Title will likely be revealed by Riot on June 6 when the event goes live, as they typically expand the reveal at broadcast start.

Step by step to activate Drops:

  1. Go to connections.riotgames.com and link your Riot account to Twitch

  2. Watch official Masters London broadcasts at twitch.tv/valorant with Drops Enabled (check for the “Drops Enabled” label on the stream)

  3. Some co-streams will also have Drops Enabled, so you can watch your favourite creator and still earn

  4. Once you hit the watch time threshold, click Claim in your Twitch Drops inventory

  5. Log in to Valorant and the item will be waiting for you

Watch time thresholds are not yet confirmed for London specifically. Based on past events like Masters Toronto and Champions 2025, expect tiered drops where some items unlock during group stages and rarer rewards are tied to finals weekend.

Shotcall: The Live Prediction Feature on Twitch

Beyond Pick’Ems and Drops, Masters London has a third reward track via Shotcall, a live Twitch browser extension.

Shotcall lets you call specific outcomes in real time during matches. Predict which team wins the next round, who picks up the ace, or which map is selected. Correct calls earn points that put you on a global leaderboard.

A few things to know:

  • Shotcall only works on desktop via the Twitch extension (not mobile)

  • You need to install it from the Twitch Extensions marketplace before a match starts

  • Points reset per event, so your Masters London Shotcall score is separate from past events

Riot has not confirmed a cosmetic reward tied to Shotcall leaderboard placement for London, but the feature itself is free and adds a second layer of engagement if Pick’Ems are not enough for you.

Masters London Format at a Glance

Understanding the format helps you fill out smarter Pick’Ems.

Swiss Stage (June 6 to 10)

  • 8 teams compete in a Swiss system

  • Win 2 matches and you are through, lose 2 and you are out

  • All matches are Best-of-Three

  • 4 teams advance to Playoffs

Playoffs (June 12 to 21)

  • 8 teams total: 4 from the Swiss Stage plus 4 Stage 1 winners who earned direct byes

  • Double elimination bracket

  • Quarterfinals, Semis, and Upper and Lower Finals are Best-of-Three

  • Grand Final on June 21 is Best-of-Five

June 11 is a dark day between the two stages, which is also when Playoffs Pick’Ems open.

Teams at Masters London 2026

12 teams qualified for London across all four VCT international leagues:

  • Americas: NRG, Leviatan, and others

  • EMEA: G2 Esports, Team Vitality, and others

  • Pacific: Paper Rex, Dragon Ranger Gaming, Xi Lai Gaming, and others

  • CN: represented league seeds

The Pick’Em pool for the Swiss Stage focuses on the 8 teams competing in that opening stage, not all 12. The 4 direct-bye teams skip straight to Playoffs.

Fan Fest and In-Person Activations

If you are near London, Masters Fan Fest runs during Finals Weekend (June 19 to 21) at Hackney Bridge. Entry is free.

Highlights include:

  • Creator meet-and-greets and live watch parties

  • Cosplay showcase and Artist Alley

  • “Defuse the Spike” interactive challenge

  • Red Bull Gaming Sphere On Tour with playable Valorant setups (June 19 to 21)

Riot also confirmed a New Map Showmatch featuring popular creators on June 21, meaning the Grand Final day doubles as the first real look at a brand new Valorant map.
