Points System
In the PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 MelBet Pick’em Challenge, points are awarded for correct predictions and answers to questions. Participants can earn points through two activities:
- Predictions: Predicting the results of the Group Stage and Playoffs using the bracket simulator. Participants select the teams that will advance to the next rounds and predict the PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 champion.
- Quiz: A thematic quiz consisting of 20 questions divided into four difficulty levels. Additional points are awarded for correct answers.
Predictions
The main activity of the CS2 Pick’em Challenge is making predictions using the tournament bracket simulator. Participants fill out the bracket directly on pickem-mongolia.com. There is no need to launch Counter-Strike 2 or purchase a Viewer Pass.
Predictions are divided into two stages: the Group Stage and Playoffs. First, participants must select eight of the 16 teams that will advance through the Swiss System. They must then predict the four semifinalists, two finalists, the Grand Final winner, and the winner of the third-place match (Tiebreaker).
The maximum number of points available from all CS2 predictions is 30. Correct picks are worth more points in the later stages of the tournament. Participants earn 1 point for correctly predicting a team that advances to the Playoffs and 5 points for correctly picking the champion. The detailed points distribution is presented in the table below:
| Stage | What to Predict | Correct Picks | Points per Pick | Maximum Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group Stage | 8 teams advancing to Playoffs | 8 | +1 | 8 |
| Quarterfinals | 4 teams advancing to Semifinals | 4 | +2 | 8 |
| Semifinals | 2 teams advancing to Grand Final | 2 | +3 | 6 |
| Grand Final | Tournament champion | 1 | +5 | 5 |
| Tiebreaker | Third-place match winner | 1 | +3 | 3 |
| Total | — | 16 | — | 30 |
Predictions must be confirmed before the start of the corresponding stage. Submissions close 15 minutes before the first match of the Group Stage or Playoffs. Once confirmed, the selected CS2 teams cannot be changed. Missing the deadline means losing the opportunity to earn points for the corresponding stage.
Quiz
The thematic MelBet Quiz is dedicated to PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene, and the Pick’em Challenge rules. Questions cover team rosters, the tournament format, prize pool, CS2 game mechanics, and how the MelBet Pick’em platform works.
There are 20 questions divided into four difficulty levels. You have 10 seconds to answer each question. You cannot skip questions or return to previous ones. The higher the difficulty level, the more points you earn for each correct answer:
