Thunderpick World Championship 2024: $1 Million Prize Pool
Thunderpick, a cryptocurrency-focused betting platform, has announced the launch of the Thunderpick World Championship 2024. This global Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) tournament will feature a substantial prize pool of $1 million. Last year, Thunderpick organized a CS2 tournament with a $600,000 prize pool, which was paid out in Bitcoin. The victors of the 2023 championship were FaZe Clan, an esports team now sponsored by crypto casino Rollbit.
The Thunderpick World Championship 2024 will begin on April 1 and conclude with the finals in late October. Although the prizes for this year’s event will be awarded in fiat currency, Thunderpick’s online esports betting platform remains exclusively operated through cryptocurrency. The platform accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other coins. The tournament will include six qualifier rounds held across Europe, North America, and South America.
Continued Partnership with GRID
In addition to announcing the tournament, Thunderpick has renewed its partnership with GRID as the official esports services provider and data partner for the event.
