Thunderpick Announces Record-Breaking $1 Million Counter-Strike 2 Tournament
Thunderpick, the leading online cryptocurrency betting platform, today announced the Thunderpick World Championship 2024, a global professional CS2 tournament with a record prize pool of US$1 million. The tournament will begin on April 1, 2024, with the World Finals taking place in late October 2024.
Following the success of the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 – which ended with an exciting 2-0 win for FaZe Clan in the Grand Final – Thunderpick will once again bring together the best players and teams in the world to compete for a total prize pool of $1 million. Once again, we have the largest sportsbook prize pool ever.
“Thunderpick World Championship 2024 will be one of the most exciting tournaments of the year, featuring some of the best talent in the CS2 world. We are excited to offer a prize pool that is nearly double the record $600,000 Bitcoin pool amount for 2023. This time it’s in cash,” said Kelly Sanders, head of strategy at Thunderpick. “This tournament not only highlights our commitment to the diverse and growing esports community, but also marks a new milestone for our event series. “Please look forward to fierce competition and high-quality gameplay that will captivate fans and players around the world.”
The Thunderpick World Championship will host six qualifying rounds across three regions around the world: Europe, North America and, for the first time, South America.
