Thunderpick World Championship 2025 North America Series 2

The Thunderpick World Championship is back for 2025, after hosting two exciting CS2 tournaments across 2023 and 2024. Like its predecessors, the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 will get a bunch of its teams from worldwide qualifiers, which will help separate the contenders from the pretenders. One such qualifier is the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 North America Series 2, which will give some of NA’s most exciting CS2 teams the chance to progress in Thunderpick’s latest event. This is certainly one to watch out for in late July.

Thunderpick World Championship 2025 North America Series 2 Tournament Format

The format for the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 North America Series 2 is the exact same as what you can expect from the rest of the event. Unlike the European Series, North America only has 12 teams as opposed to 16.

• Group Stage: Eight teams play out two double-elimination Groups, each Group having four teams. Once all matches are played, the top two teams from each Group qualify for the Playoffs.
• Playoffs: These Playoffs are a single-elimination bracket, with every match being remaining best-of-three, including the Final. Here, the four Group Stage qualified teams will face the four teams directly invited through the VRS.

Thunderpick has yet to announce the 12 teams that will be taking part in Series 2 of its North American Qualifiers. Invites will be sent out based on the June 25th VRS ranking later this year – we’ll keep this updated with the complete list of teams whenever it’s revealed. 10 teams will receive these VRS invites, with two wildcard invites also to be sent out further down the line.

Of these teams, the top four in the VRS will be directly invited to the Playoffs, while every lineup below will need to duke it out in the Group Stage first.

Thunderpick World Championship 2025 North America Series 2 Prize Pool Distribution

Because the Thunderpick WC 2025 North America Series 2 is a qualifier, it boasts a smaller prize pool than the main event, as you might expect. Like the Thunderpick WC 2025 North America Series 1, only one team will get the ultimate prize – qualification to the Closed Qualifiers for the main event, while only the top two teams will receive any kind of cash reward.
