Featuring eight CS2 esports teams, the event will offer a $150,000 prize pool, with half of it going to the team that will hoist the trophy.

The CCT Season 2 Global Finals is the culmination of the Champion of Champions (CCT) Season 2 and is one of the most anticipated events of the year, with eight European teams and one team from North and South America looking to make a splash.

Running concurrently with Intel Extreme Masters Melbourne, the CCT Season 2 Global Finals promises to fill the competitive schedule with exciting games for esports fans to watch and bet on with the best betting sites, including Stake.

CCT Season 2 Global Finals Format

The CCT Season 2 Global Finals format has some changes compared to the inaugural CCT Global Finals tournament.

The two stages (group stage and playoffs) were removed in favour of one double-elimination bracket, with all fixtures played as best-of-three.

Moreover, the number of participating teams was cut in half (from 16) to eight, and there were no qualifiers – all eight teams received invites based on their Valve Regional Standings (VRS) position.

Scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 24, CCT Season 2 Global Finals will play out over four days, culminating with the grand finals on Sunday, April 27. All 14 games will be played as best-of-three (BO3), including the grand final.

Invited teams include:

VRS Europe: B8, HEROIC, 500, BC.Game Esports, Partizan Esports, BetBoom Team
VRS North America: Wildcard
VRS South America: Imperial Esports

CCT Season 2 Global Finals Favourites

CCT Season 2 Global Finals outright betting markets are available on all of the top CS2 betting sites, including some of the more prominent crypto bookmakers such as Stake.

According to the recent offer, HEROIC leads the way as the most likely victors, priced at 3.50, which gives them a 28.6% implied probability of winning the event.

This is quite a big number, considering HEROIC have not won any tournaments this season and were particularly disappointing in S-Tier events. Yet, with the talent on this roster, HEROIC are bound to find some traction sooner rather than later – and they’ve already shown some signs of life of late.

Notably, they made it to the semifinals of RES Showdown Spring 2025 and the PGL Bucharest 2025 European Qualifier. This, while still far below expectations, indicates that HEROIC are gaining some momentum.

CCT Season 2 Global Finals will not feature many tough teams for HEROIC to deal with; however, there are a few outfits that should not be ignored.

BetBoom Team enter CCT Season 2 Global Finals as the second favourites, priced at 4.50. They, like HEROIC, have a talented roster who should be competing in bigger events, but like the CCT Season 2 Global Finals favourites, BB Team have been struggling with consistency.

The lack of tournament titles since the turn of the year is concerning, but BB Team have recently found some momentum with two semifinal runs at PGL Bucharest 2025 EU qualifiers and YaLLa Compass Qatar 2025 qualifiers. Moreover, they are 9-2 since the start of the month, which includes wins against teams of similar quality to what BetBoom will face here.

Moving down the list of teams who can impress, we have B8. The CCT Season 2 European Series #18 champions recently qualified for BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 with a sixth-place finish in the European qualifiers.

There, they beat PARIVISION, BC.Game, 9Pandas, ENCE, and Astralis, proving they do belong among the strongest 32 teams in the world.

Having qualified for the Major, B8 might not care too much about CCT Season 2 Global Finals, but with no other obligations, B8 are likely to take the tournament seriously and use it as a preparation for the Austin Major.

Among the eight participating teams at CCT Season 2 Global Finals, two stand out as squads that will be exciting to follow.

Imperial Esports have been on a roll in their region. They won Ace South American Masters Spring 2025 and CCT Season 2 South American Series #7, and they recently won FiReLEAGUE Buenos Aires 2025: Brazilian Qualifier without any issues.

Likewise, their northern neighbours, Wildcard, have found some success in the NA Counter-Strike 2 esports scene, with a runner-up finish at PGL Bucharest 2025: North American Qualifier and a semifinal run at PGL Astana 2025: North American Qualifier.

Whether the South and North American outfits will manage to upset the European squads this week is up for debate, but they’ve both shown some signs of life and are rightly viewed as live dark horses, priced at 6.50.
