Along with a brand new way to get souvenir cases and a new pick em' coin.
In this major the only way to participate in the Pick'EM predictions and to get souvenir drops is by first buying the viewer pass and then completing the "challenge's" that the pass requires. The pass is $10 USD / $.75€ this give you unlimited team sprays thoughout the duration of the major as well as access the the Pick'Em and Souvenir cases. You also DO NOT have to pay for the stickers to do the Pick'Em unlike previous years its is "free" with the view pass now.

How To Get Souvenir Case and Upgrade Coin.
You must complete 5 of the challenges you will receive a silver coin and your choice at a souvenir case from any match and map of your choosing.
After completing 7 of the challenges you will receive a gold coin and another souvenir case. After completing ALL of the challenges you will receive a diamond coin and another souvenir case.









These challenges include
