The final CS:GO stickers have finally arrived, and capsule fans can take a sigh of relief as they’ve made it just in time for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
Before their May 4 release, hysteria ensued, with fans and pros alike begging for the final CS:GO Major stickers to bless their inventories. No other Major has inched this close without stickers, and now our prayers have been answered.
Sticker capsules have been a staple of the CS:GO economy for years, with each attending team having their names spread all across the Counter-Strike scene during each Major. Today, Valve finally revealed the new stickers alongside the Viewership Pass and Pick’em Coins, and the hype-cross-panic can come to an end.
With such a long wait, many CS:GO player got quite antsy.
In particular, tweets from noteworthy members of the title’s esports community garnered controversy during the lengthy waiting period, with many fans even beginning to fear we’d never receive the final CS:GO Major stickers. Just earlier this week, NiP’s chief executive Hicham Chahine copped critique from journalists, pro players, and fans after tweeting that stickers would never release. He later admitted he was joking.
The new stickers will feature every attending player’s name and their team’s logo, with varying styles to be unlocked via microtransactions. There’ll be gold, holo, glitter, and simple stickers to celebrate the end of CS:GO.
In total, 24 teams will receive Paris Major player stickers, including:
