Track record.
We call emerging picks early. Here's how often the pros actually drafted them.
GetPrio watches high-elo solo queue and flags champions that are climbing, ideally before they show up in a pro draft. Once a patch is done, we take the shortlist we put out early that patch and check it against every champion picked or banned across the four major regions (LCK, LPL, LCS, LEC) plus the international events. Every patch we've graded is here, the misses included.
Hit rate
56%
Of the 20 picks we flag, about 11
end up picked or banned on the pro stage.
Catch rate
38%
When a champ does break out into pro play, we'd already flagged it about
2 times in 5.
Head start
3days
How far ahead of a champ's first pro game we typically call it. We see it coming.
Pooled over 6 finished patches,
new picks only, measured on our top 20 each patch.
Hit rate is how many of our calls panned out. Catch rate is how many of the
actual breakouts we'd flagged. Higher is better. Each dot is one finished patch.
| Patch | Hit rate | Catch rate | Days early | Flags that landed | Breakouts caught | Scored by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16.6 | 50% | 48% | 9 | 10 / 20 | 10 / 21 | heuristic |
| 16.7 | 45% | 29% | 1 | 9 / 20 | 9 / 31 | heuristic |
| 16.8 | 65% | 39% | 1 | 13 / 20 | 13 / 33 | heuristic |
| 16.9 | 55% | 42% | 2 | 11 / 20 | 11 / 26 | heuristic |
| 16.10 | 75% | 37% | 6 | 15 / 20 | 15 / 41 | heuristic |
| 16.11 | 45% | 39% | 1 | 9 / 20 | 9 / 23 | heuristic |
The hit rate above, made concrete: the actual champions we put on our early new-pick shortlist each patch, and which the pros went on to pick or ban. 66 of our last 120 early calls reached pro play (55%). Hits are sage with how many days early we were; the rest we flagged but the pros didn't take that patch.

What counts as pro play: any champion picked or banned in the four majors (LCK, LPL, LCS, LEC)
or an international event in 2026. “New picks” drops anything that was already a standard pick
the patch before, so we're only grading genuinely fresh calls, not meta staples everyone runs anyway.
The samples are still small, so read these as a direction. They get sturdier every patch the pipeline runs.
