Thunderpick World Champs Closed Qualifier betting tips – Day 2

The Thunderpick World Championship 2025 Closed Qualifier continues on Wednesday, September 10, with the second set of Round 1 fixtures.

Featuring eight teams who will embark on their quest for one of the four available spots in the TWC main event, the second day of action promises a spectacle no esports fan should miss.

We at eSportBet.com have prepared free Counter-Strike 2 betting picks for all four games, with odds courtesy of the top bookmakers in United States.

ENCE vs NEMIGA GAMING

Best Odds: ENCE -227.27 at BetOnline | Nemiga +162 at BetOnline
When: September 10, 2025 | 10:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

These teams last met in May, when ENCE eliminated Nemiga Gaming from CCT Season 3 European Series #1 in the semifinals. Aleksandr “1eeR” Nahornyj and co. have not produced another deep tournament run since then, while ENCE have added a gold medal from the second Thunderpick World Championship 2025 European Series.

  The bookies' bookie

ENCE have won eight of their last 10 games, which includes a few notable victories against Ninjas in Pyjamas, Gentle Mates, and 9INE. Nemiga have faced mostly the same teams quality-wise and have not found as much success, going 2-8 over the same stretch.

ENCE are rightly priced as favorites on the top Counter-Strike 2 esports betting sites. A clean sweep is a likely outcome.

OG vs M80

Best Odds: OG +110 at BetOnline | M80 -151.52 at SportsBetting
When: September 10, 2025 | 13:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

M80 defeated OG 16-13 during the second stage of BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and they are expected to improve on their head-to-head record this Wednesday. This is not surprising, as M80 are in good form and come fresh off a quarterfinal run at BLAST Open Fall 2025.

OG have found some success recently, with a gold medal from CCT Season 3 European Series #4 and a quarterfinal appearance at CCT Season 3 European Series #5. However, those B-Tier results don’t really compare to reaching the last eight of a BLAST event.

Even though Christoffer “Chr1zN” Storgaard and his crew are gaining momentum, M80 to win at -151.52 is an inviting offer.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs TEAM VENOM

Best Odds: NiP -250 at SportsBetting | Venom +175 at BetOnline
When: September 10, 2025 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Team Venom (former Rebels Gaming core) won Fragadelphia 19 as KOLESIE, but have not made much noise since. They have suffered early eliminations from the CS Asia Championships 2025 European Open Qualifier and the play-in stage of Betclic Clash Summer.

  Fast Payouts

Ninjas in Pyjamas’ most notable accomplishment of the summer was a runner-up finish at CCT Season 3 European Series #3. However, they’ve struggled to leave a mark over the last two months, recently finishing in last place at DraculaN #1.

NiP are the more recognizable team, but they have hardly shown more than Venom. The teams should be priced much closer to even money, so the value is with the outsiders.

TEAM NEXT LEVEL vs IMPERIAL ESPORTS

Best Odds: TNL -151.52 at BetOnline | Imperial +110 at BetOnline
When: September 10, 2025 | 19:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Team Next Level are in excellent shape ahead of Thunderpick World Championship qualifiers. They won Exort The Proving Grounds Season 1 in June, placed second at the European Esports Championship 2025, made the semifinals in the third season of Exort The Proving Grounds, and secured another silver medal from CCT Season 3 European Series #5.

The Brazilian outfit recently exited the BLAST Open Fall 2025 Closed Qualifier in the first round, with 1-2 losses to both MOUZ and Team Liquid. In August, Imperial won the CS Asia Championships 2025 Americas Qualifier and Circuito FERJEE 2025, but against softer opponents.

Imperial Esports have shown they can bite; however, TNL have proved themselves with deep tournament runs against tougher teams than Imperial have beaten over the last month.
