Valve release StarLadder Budapest CS2 Major stickers

Leonardo Biazzi Published November 13, 2025

The StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 stickers have been added to CS2 on November 13th, catching the entire community off guard. There’s also a new feature called Sticker Slabs that allows players to show off a sticker on their gun without sticking it.

In addition to the stickers, players can also buy the StarLadder Budapest Major Viewer Pass and participate in the Pick’Em Challenge!

Valve added the StarLadder Budapest Major stickers to CS2 much earlier than in previous Majors, even though Stage 1 doesn’t start until November 24th.

Stickers are part of why the CS2 Majors are so special, as every team and player attending the Majors gets their logo and signature, respectively, added to the game. Fans can buy sticker capsules in-game, and part of the money goes to the organizations and players, thus funding the teams directly.

Each of the StarLadder Budapest Major stickers is available across four different types: Paper, Embroidered, Holo, and Gold. The Paper stickers are cheaper, as they come in abundance, while the Gold ones are rarer and thus expensive.

There will be 32 teams attending the StarLadder Budapest Major, and 160 different players. This means that there are 128 team stickers up for grabs and 640 player signatures available.

Valve unveils Sticker Slabs feature ahead of StarLadder Budapest Major

From now on, players don’t need to apply their sticker in order for it to show in their gun. With the Sticker Slabs feature, players can keep the stickers in their inventory and still show them in guns.

This will be huge, especially for those who own vintage stickers such as the ones from the EMS Katowice Major 2014, without “wasting” them forever.

Not ready to apply your favorite sticker? We got you! Today we are introducing Sticker Slabs—charms that let you show off a sticker with no commitment. Later, just break the slab to return the sticker to your inventory.
