Gold Columbus 2016 Pick'Em Trophy

The Gold Columbus 2016 Pick'Em Trophy was awarded to players who achieved the top Pick’Em result during the MLG Columbus 2016 Major event. It is a tournament collectible tied to that event rather than a standard weapon skin, sticker, or case drop. In CS2, it remains as a legacy inventory item linked to that Major’s prediction challenge.

This trophy represents a player’s performance in the MLG Columbus 2016 Pick’Em Challenge, where users predicted match outcomes during the Major. The gold version indicates the highest reward tier from that event’s prediction system. Its value is mainly historical, because it marks participation and accurate picks during one of CS:GO’s early Major Pick’Em formats.

No, the Gold Columbus 2016 Pick'Em Trophy can no longer be earned because it was only available during the MLG Columbus 2016 Major. Once that Pick’Em event ended, the reward became unobtainable through normal gameplay. Existing examples remain only on accounts that originally earned them.

No, Pick’Em trophies such as the Gold Columbus 2016 Pick'Em Trophy are tied to the account that earned them and are not standard market items. They are not opened from cases and are not treated like regular weapon finishes or stickers on the Steam Community Market. That means ownership is based on having earned the trophy during the 2016 event, not buying or trading for it.
