StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stickers Overview

Valve has finally released the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Viewer Pass, along with the full collection of team stickers and player autographs. So it’s the perfect moment to take a look at the new designs and highlight which of them might become this Major’s hottest picks. In this article, we’ll break down the most interesting styles, differences between the capsules, and the overall visual trends. Let’s dive in!

Capsule Variants and Sticker Types at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

As usual, StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 in CS2 introduces sticker capsules with team logos and player autographs. These containers are divided into categories such as Team Sticker Capsule and Autograph Capsule, and each sticker comes in several quality tiers. For this Major, four main types are confirmed:

• Paper (base stickers without effects)
• Glitter (with a sparkling texture)
• Holo (with holographic shine)
• Gold (premium golden versions)

This variety gives collectors plenty of options and makes it easy to match stickers to their inventory or preferred aesthetic.

StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Sticker Style

The Budapest Major 2025 stickers feature a clean, modern visual style that highlights each team’s logo. The designs use sharp outlines and vibrant colors, making the stickers stand out both in regular and Holo versions. The holographic effects add depth and visibility without cluttering the design — the style remains sleek and tidy.

The visual theme is closely tied to Budapest: every sticker includes a signature decorative pattern around the edges, repeated across all capsules. This creates a unified tournament aesthetic without overshadowing the main element — the team logo or the player signature. Overall, the style is restrained, clean, and perfectly aligned with CS2 Major visuals.

NAVI

NAVI stickers look bright and instantly recognizable thanks to the iconic yellow-and-black logo that contrasts well with the background. All versions — from standard to Holo and Gold — preserve the clarity and simplicity of the emblem, complemented by a decorative Budapest Major 2025 frame. In Paper versions the frame has muted tones, in Holo it turns into a vibrant glowing ornament, and in Gold it becomes richly golden. NAVI stickers combine the team’s classic look with a neat, moderately stylized tournament theme.

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan stickers look bold and confident with their large red logo clearly visible on a dark shield. The Paper version feels minimalistic, while the Holo version adds rich color gradients and a more vivid frame. The Gold variant looks especially “premium” thanks to bright golden accents. Overall, the FaZe sticker is simple, eye-catching, and fits well with the Budapest Major 2025 aesthetic.

Team Vitality

Team Vitality stickers are instantly recognizable due to the large yellow “bee” logo that stands out on the dark shield. The Paper version appears calm yet still bright thanks to the strong contrast. Holo adds vivid shine and color reflections around the frame, making the design look livelier. The Gold version features a saturated golden finish, giving it a premium look. Overall, the Vitality sticker is clean, striking, and extremely easy to spot among others.

B8

The B8 sticker looks modest yet stylish. The main focus is the large “8” on a dark shield, instantly noticeable due to the clean lines and strong contrast. Around the shield is the familiar Budapest-themed pattern: soft floral shapes and bright colors that make the sticker more decorative and lively. Across different finishes, B8 stickers gain either a golden premium feel, vibrant holographic shine, or even a textured “embroidered” look — each version uniquely highlighting the minimalist logo.

Passion UA

The Passion UA sticker is incredibly bright and expressive — perfectly matching the team’s name. The central element is a flame in blue and yellow colors, immediately evoking Ukrainian symbolism and energy. The flame stands on a dark shield, creating a strong contrast. The Budapest-style decorative frame adds festive flair, while Gold, Holo, and “embroidered” finishes make the sticker even more distinct and collectible.

FURIA

FURIA stickers follow a restrained yet aggressive style — ideal for a team with such a fierce logo. Each version highlights the iconic panther silhouette in contrasting light tones, making it very noticeable on the dark shield background. The Budapest-themed frame with floral accents adds brightness and local flavor. This combination makes FURIA stickers look both fierce and festive — a perfect match for a Major.

Player Autographs Overview

Player autographs in the Budapest Major 2025 collection maintain the tournament’s overall theme, but each signature carries its own personality and style. Some are neat and structured, while others feature chaotic strokes or small symbols. All signatures are placed on a background with Budapest decorative elements, making them colorful and easily recognizable. With multiple rarity tiers — from Paper to Gold — autographs gain even more expressiveness and a unique mood.

cobra (The Huns)

cobra changed his nickname right before the Major — previously the The Huns player used the nickname cobrazera.

biguzera (paiN)

It seems Valve got a little too absorbed in the beer-themed aspects of the event and accidentally missed adding biguzera’s autograph. A small slip-up that has already become a community meme.

ropz (Team Vitality)

Ropz’s autograph includes a pleasant detail: in earlier signatures, the letters “o” and “p” were merged into a stylized broken heart — but this time the heart appears whole. A small yet noticeable change that makes the autograph look cleaner and slightly “warmer.”

rain (FaZe Clan)

rain’s autograph in the Budapest Major 2025 collection carries emotional significance — these are his final signatures as a member of FaZe Clan after nearly a decade on the roster. Inside the letter R you can spot a tiny sad face — a subtle farewell to an era that lasted 10 years.

makazze (NAVI)

makazze’s autograph looks symbolic and heartfelt: above his signature he added the number 17 — his age at the time of debut. This is his first Major, and the added detail emphasizes the significance of the moment for the young NAVI player.

molodoy (FURIA)

molodoy’s autograph stands out with a creative touch: the Kazakh AWPer replaced one of the letters “o” with a small sun. This detail adds warmth and uniqueness, making it one of the cutest and most memorable autographs in the entire collection.

The Budapest Style on the CS2 Major Stage

In the end, the Budapest theme brings the sticker collection to life, adding variety and character. Decorative elements and bright accents create a “living” atmosphere that makes the designs stand out and gives the Major a more unique and recognizable identity compared to previous events.
