The two casting pairs will be stalwart duos Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill and Alex "Machine" Richardson and Harry "JustHarry" Russell and Hugo "Hugo" Byron .
The analyst desk will feature Sam "Tech Girl" Wright and Tres "stunna" Saranthus as hosts, whilst Janko "YNk" Paunović , Sudhen "Bleh" Wahengbam , Teodor "tedd" Borisov and Jason "moses" O'Toole serve as analysts.
Rounding out the talent lineup are James "BanKs" Banks and Anastasija "Heccu" Tolmačeva , who will provide the stage hosting and sideline reporting for the event.
This year's Thunderpick World Championship is set to be one of the event's most stacked iterations, with FURIA , Falcons , Legacy and Aurora all lined up to compete.
They will be joined by BETBOOM , 9z , PARIVISION and Virtus.pro , with the teams split into two GSL BO3 groups before the top two sides in each group head to a single-elimination playoff bracket.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Falcons Esports still has to answer for this: "The two casting pairs will be stalwart duos Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill and Alex "Machine" Richardson and Harry "JustHarry" Russell and Hugo "Hugo" Byron ." That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.

FURIA can stand on this line: "This year's Thunderpick World Championship is set to be one of the event's most stacked iterations, with FURIA , Falcons , Legacy and Aurora all lined up to compete." It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
