Riot Games is giving VALORANT esports fans a brand-new way to engage with the action in real time through “Shotcall,” a live prediction feature designed to test and reward viewers' in-depth game knowledge during VCT matches.
Unveiled ahead of the VCT Americas' upcoming matches, Shotcall is described as a fast-paced, interactive mini-game that runs directly alongside Twitch broadcasts. Viewers will have the chance to make split-second predictions—ranging from who secures the first blood to high-pressure clutch outcomes—earning points for accuracy on a live leaderboard.
Shotcall isn’t just a passive quiz; it’s designed for fans who pride themselves on understanding the rhythm and flow of competitive VALORANT. According to Riot Games, the feature is targeted at those who’ve ever “surprised your friends by calling clutches, MVPs, or match outcomes before they happened—or if you’ve simply been a loyal follower of the long-running VCT scene.”
Rather than leaning on basic prediction formats, Shotcall emphasizes dynamic and time-sensitive scenarios. Riot promises “real-time thrills,” offering intricate prompts that require both speed and insight from participants.
