Thunderpick World Championship 2024 Spectator Guide

The Thunderpick World Championship 2024, a major Counter-Strike 2 tournament, will take place from 21 October to 3 November. Sixteen teams will compete for a $850,000 prize pool.

The group stage will follow a GSL format (four groups of four teams each). The top two teams from each group will advance to the playoffs, which will be played in a Single Elimination format.
