Pickem v1 · ships with next Major

How pickem works inside the courtyard

Free to enter, no real money in, no real money out. Drag teams into the bracket, lock before the first map, walk away with CourierCoins for every call that lands. Founding pickers get the brass chevron on their profile.

01 · Enter

Sign in with Steam

One-click via Steam OpenID. Email fallback if you prefer. Your CS2 profile photo becomes your courier portrait.

02 · Draft

Drag the bracket

Every Major and Tier-1 event. Challengers, Legends, Champions stage pickem plus top-frag and MVP single-shot picks.

03 · Lock

Lock before map one

Locks at the scheduled first-match time from HLTV/Liquipedia. Late joiners get a one-map grace bracket with reduced CourierCoins.

04 · Earn

Bank CourierCoins

Every right call pays. Perfect brackets pay the seal. Coins spend on cosmetic chevrons, profile framings, and forum flair — never cashable.

Entry fee Zero. Forever. No buy-in, no battle-pass, no skin deposits.
Scoring +1 correct group, +2 correct advance, +4 correct top-3, +10 champion.
Tiebreaks Total maps picked correctly, then first-to-lock timestamp.
Sportsmanship One bracket per person. Bracket-swapping via alt accounts gets the courier seal revoked.
