But ahead of the Thunderpick World Championship Grand Final, teams including Bestia, BIG Clan, BLEED, Cloud9, Imperial and Team Legacy will compete in the online Group Stage on Oct. 21 to 25; and the Quarterfinals on Oct. 26.

This follows six qualifier rounds across three global regions: Europe, North America and South America – which started earlier this year in April.   

 “The Thunderpick World Championship 2024 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting tournaments of the year,” said Kelly Sanders, head of strategy for Thunderpick. 

“With the caliber of teams and record-setting prize pool, we can expect intense competition and high-quality gameplay that will captivate fans and players around the world.”  

This will be the second year of the Thunderpick World Championship. In 2023, the total prize pool was $600,000 and FaZe Clan won the Grand Final.

This year’s event will almost double the prize pool and attract even more top teams to compete in the tournament. Many of the Thunderpick World Championship teams competing in the Counter-Strike tournament find themselves in the top 100 on the HLTV rankings list.   

The event is also supported by their data partner GRID, the official esports services provider and data partner of the Thunderpick World Championship.
