While powerhouses like NaVi and Furia are expected to dominate, the GSL format ensures that even the top teams will face stiff competition early on. Keep an eye on Team Venom, who, despite their lower ranking, qualified by defeating formidable opponents like NIP and Nemiga. Their roster includes veteran Paweł "innocent" Mocek, a name synonymous with Counter-Strike since the 1.6 era.
Adding to the excitement, Thunderpick has assembled a star-studded broadcast team. British talent will be heavily featured, with Hugo Byron, Harry "JustHarry" Russel, and Alex "Machine" Richardson taking to the mic alongside Chad "Spunj" Burchill. Janko "YNk" Paunović, Sudhen "Bleh" Wahengbam, and Travis "Trav" Landaw Mott will also be on the analyst desk, with Mott expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside the best in the business. Allan "Allan" Hender, former Endpoint coach, joins Trav on the desk. Tres "stunna" Saranthus and Sam "Tech Girl" Wright will be hosting, while Geordie "Mac" McAleer will be conducting stage interviews.
Beyond the prize money, the Thunderpick World Championship offers teams a crucial opportunity to fine-tune their strategies and build momentum ahead of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. All eyes will be on Malta as these world-class teams collide.
