Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2

As Thunderpick gears up to launch the latest iteration of its annual Thunderpick World Championship, there is still the small matter of determining the teams that will actually be in attendance. To see who’s worthy of a spot, Thunderpick is holding worldwide qualifiers in the run-up to the main event. In August, the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 will take place, with $25,000 and a spot in the Closed Qualifiers for the main event on the line. NAVI Junior were able to win Europe Series 1, and there’s one more European slot available for any team that can rise to the challenge and win Europe Series 2.

Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 Tournament Format

Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 is the largest online qualifier in the Thunderpick CS2 circuit, alongside Europe Series 1. 24 teams in total means more action than ever, although the general format will be familiar to any fan who has been watching the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Series.

• Group Stage: 16 teams compete across four double-elimination Groups, with each Group having four teams. Two teams from each Group qualify to reach the Playoffs after all matches are played. All matches are best-of-three.
• Playoffs: These Playoffs are a standard single-elimination bracket, starting with the round of 16. Eight teams are directly invited to compete against the eight CS2 teams who made it out of the Group Stage, with the winner receiving a spot in the Thunderpick World Championship Closed Qualifiers. All matches are best-of-three.

All Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 Teams

There will be 24 teams invited to the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 closer to the time of its start date. These invites will be made based on the European VRS on July 25th, so we won’t know exactly what teams are competing until after this date. We’ll keep you in the loop right here when the time comes.

Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 Prize Pool Distribution

The Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Europe Series 2 features a total cash prize of $25,000, which makes sense given the fact that it’s just a qualifier. However, the real prize on offer here is a single spot in the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Closed Qualifiers, which every team will be vying for.

The prize pool distribution of the Thunderpick WC 2025 Europe Series 2 means that a massive 22 teams will exit the event empty-handed. With no more European Series after this one, this will be some team’s last chance to make it to the Thunderpick World Championship 2025.
