Thunderpick, a platform for betting on esports and sports with a focus on cryptocurrency, revealed plans for the Thunderpick World Championship 2024. This global tournament will feature Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and offer a generous prize pool of $1 million. In the previous year, Thunderpick hosted a CS2 competition with a $600,000 prize pool that was distributed in Bitcoin. FaZe Clan, a well-known esports team that is currently being sponsored by Rollbit, emerged victorious in Thunderpick’s 2023 championship tournament. The 2024 tournament for Thunderpick will kick off on April 1, with the finals scheduled for late October. A spokesperson stated that prizes for this year’s event will be in traditional currency, even though Thunderpick’s online esports betting platform continues to exclusively use cryptocurrency. The platform is open to receiving Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and various other cryptocurrencies. The tournament is set to include six qualifying rounds in Europe, North America, and South America. Thunderpick reaffirmed its partnership with GRID as the official esports services provider for the upcoming event. Counter-Strike 2 is the latest installment in Valve’s renowned CS:GO series, a beloved PC first-person shooter game in the esports community. Zebedee, a Bitcoin gaming startup, introduced modified CS:GO servers for players to bet and win BTC. Please note that this article was produced with the help of AI and reviewed by Andrew Hayward.
