Thunderpick World Championship 2024 betting picks – October 25

OG and Virtus.pro will lock horns in the final Group A fixture at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 on Friday, while Group B rivals Fnatic and Cloud9 will battle it out for a spot in the playoffs. Here are our Counter-Strike betting tips for October 25, with esports odds courtesy of the best online bookmakers in United States.

OG and Virtus.pro meet again in a rematch from the opening fixture of Group A, where OG won with a reverse sweep. They have since lost to 3DMAX, while Virtus.pro spoiled Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev’s return to competitive play by eliminating Team Falcons.

Despite beating Virtus.pro on Monday, OG enter this match priced as +283 underdogs. Even though VP came close to winning against OG last time out, it is hard to justify taking their side at this number.

OG are playing with Jakub “M1key” Krausko as a replacement for Bram “Nexius” Campana and have won just one match over their last six. But Virtus.pro have not shown much this tournament, and considering their weak map pool, it is easy to see the Russian side dropping at least one.

Fnatic and Cloud9 last met during the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 qualifiers, where Fnatic won in two maps. It was a closely contested game, and according to the Counter-Strike betting sites, C9 should get their revenge on Friday.

Cloud9 have played just three series over the last month and won one against 9z Team on Tuesday. Fnatic have been far more active, although their record is not much more inspiring, with victories against UNPAID, PARIVISION, and 9z, along with two 0-2 losses against Nemiga and The MongolZ.

Both teams have a lot to work on, and while Cloud9’s ceiling is much higher, they are still a bit rusty and vulnerable enough to lose to anyone. At plus money, Fnatic are an easy choice.
