Team VitalityEWC Play
EWC PLAY is a free digital product running alongside Esports World Cup 2026 (Paris, July 6 to August 23). Play Quests, Pick'em and Fantasy, earn XP, climb the leaderboards and compete for prizes across all seven weeks.
Yes, it's free. There's no entry fee and no wager or stake of any kind. Everything is free to play and built for fun while you follow EWC.
A registered EWC account, signed in. You'll be prompted to register or log in through EWC single sign-on (SSO) at the right moment, so you can start from wherever you are on the site.
Play from anywhere. EWC Play runs in any mobile or desktop browser. Only the on-site Quests need you physically at the venue (see Question: What are on-site Quests - do I need to be in Paris?); everything else is fully online.
Three ways to play, all earning XP. Quests are bite-size challenges, online or on-site. Pick'em is predicting tournament and match results. Fantasy is building a roster of real players who earn you points from their real matches.
XP (experience points) is the single currency across EWC Play - it sets your leaderboard rank and your Tier. You earn it from all three activities (Quests, Pick'em and Fantasy), and the amount on offer is always shown before you play.
As your total XP grows, you climb through Tiers. Each Tier you reach adds a percentage XP boost on top of what you earn, so the more you play, the faster your XP stacks up.
Each Quest is a small challenge that pays a set amount of XP, shown before you start. Some refresh daily, some weekly, and some are one-off challenges for the whole event - and there's no limit to how many you can take on.
Yes. On-site Quests are completed by scanning QR codes placed around the EWC venue in Paris, using your phone camera from inside the experience. Each code works once per person, and some Quests need you to scan several codes, sometimes in a set order. Everything else in EWC Play can be played online.
Pick'em is your prediction game: predict the overall tournament winners and the outcomes of individual matches to earn XP for every correct call. You can change your picks freely up to the lock time shown by the countdown; once it locks, your pick is final. The XP on offer varies by title and match, and it's always shown up front.
Build a squad of five real players within a $5 million budget, pick a captain to score double points, and earn XP from how your players perform in real EWC matches. Your roster locks when the tournament starts, and you can make changes when transfer windows open during the event. We'll let you know when a window opens, including by email.
Five titles: League of Legends, Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Counter-Strike 2 and VALORANT. Each has its own Fantasy leaderboard.
Over $300,000 in cash prize pools, plus physical prizes. It breaks down as $100,000 on the Overall leaderboard (top 130), $100,000 across the seven Weekly leaderboards (top 35 each week), and $100,000 across the five per-title Fantasy leaderboards ($20,000 each, top 35 per title).
On-site Quests have their own weekly leaderboard with physical prizes you collect at the venue. Weekly Quests conclude by 9PM on Sundays, and physical prizes are claimed onsite at the Quest Hub. Visitors have 2 hours to claim their prizes that evening. If they cannot claim their prizes within that time frame, they can claim them next week without issue. If two players tie on XP, whoever reached that score first ranks higher. Cash prizes are limited to players aged 18 and over and are subject to eligibility checks when you claim.
During the event we may run a Creator Faction vs Faction challenge: two creators go head-to-head and you pick one to back. From the moment you join, your XP also counts toward your creator's faction, and if your faction wins the week you get an extra 5% XP boost on everything you've earned since joining, lasting until the challenge ends. Choose carefully: once you pick a creator, you can't switch for the rest of the challenge.
It's one account per person. Using multiple accounts, bots or automated tools, exploiting bugs, or otherwise trying to game results can lead to disqualification and removal from the leaderboards and prizes. Lock times and deadlines are shown in the interface, and late entries aren't accepted.
