Texas Signature: Top 10 Most Original Autographs from BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. The Best Stickers in a Long Time?
BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 became a real celebration for CS2 fans as we finally saw new designs for stickers and player autographs. This year, VALVE and BLAST decided to draw inspiration from Texas themes, adding a touch of cowboy spirit to the design: the stickers are made in the style of burned branding with ornaments reminiscent of ancient parchments.
The autographs themselves gained a certain glowing effect in the form of an outline similar to smoldering coal! On dark areas of the map, this looks absolutely stunning, and there’s reason to believe that these stickers will remain talked about much longer than most others. We didn’t settle on the paper version by accident, because in our opinion it looks the best not only because of the style, but also the practically invisible team logo in the background, which stood out too much and made the autograph itself almost invisible.
Besides well-known players like m0NESY, donk, NiKo, the community has always valued original ideas or elements that could potentially be used in various crafts. Therefore, in this material we’ve selected 10 of the most unusual and interesting autographs that definitely deserve attention.
Sticker | MAJ3R | Austin 2025
Turkish Aurora captain MAJ3R has shared in interviews how much he misses his two children due to the busy tournament schedule and decided to immortalize them right on his sticker! The player depicted two children’s figures holding hands – a touching gesture that immediately resonated with fans. This autograph isn’t just a signature, but a real story of love and devotion to family, which makes it special. Look closer: in these small details lies the huge soul of one of the scene’s most experienced players. Now MAJ3R can apply this sticker to his devices and feel family support even on the server, and when the children grow up, it will be a pleasant memory for them, since his son is already actively training with dad on aim_botz!
Sticker | jL | Austin 2025
NAVI star jL continues to keep his promise: each of his stickers should have a new and unique appearance. This time the Lithuanian rifler turned the letters of his nickname into an elegant heart that looks both simple and incredibly stylish. This design reminds us of the legendary Sticker | seang@res | Boston 2018, which now costs about $70 in the regular version. jL’s autograph is a perfect replacement candidate: its minimalism and romantic vibe will definitely make it a hit among players who love to decorate their skins with such symbols. jL once again proved he knows how to surprise without overcomplicating.
Sticker | iM | Austin 2025
jL’s teammate from NAVI, Romanian player iM, also didn’t stay aside and delivered a real masterpiece. At first glance, his autograph seems like just a crown, but it’s obvious that these are the letters of his nickname, cleverly intertwined into a royal symbol. We’re sure many “server kings” will want to apply something like this to show everyone on the server who’s carrying the noobs in every match. The thick lines, reminiscent of charcoal burned seal, add brutality to the sticker, and the idea itself looks as if iM and jL worked with the same designer to maintain balance between simplicity and originality.
Sticker | tN1R | Austin 2025
Belarusian player tN1R made it to a Major for the first time, and his debut sticker immediately won our hearts. At first glance, the design seems simple: arrows, hearts, nothing unusual. But the letter “R” in his nickname turned into a little person who seems to be reaching out and trying to reach something – maybe the coveted trophy? There’s some naive sincerity in this autograph, as if tN1R put his emotions from making it to the main tournament of every CS player into it.
Sticker | yxngstxr | Austin 2025
Young Swede from HEROIC, yxngstxr, perfectly fit into the tournament’s Texas vibe. The second part of his nickname “stxr” turned into a star that references Austin’s cowboy aesthetic and was taken from one of this city’s sheriffs. As they say, here “all the stars aligned!” and indeed, yxngstxr’s star shines against the burned design background, adding a bold and stylish accent to the autograph. For those who love thematic crafts, this sticker will be a good foundation for implementing various ideas.
Sticker | biguzera | Austin 2025
Brazilian paiN veteran biguzera decided to pay tribute to the tournament venue by replacing the letter “U” in his nickname with a horseshoe – a symbol of luck and cowboy culture. Combined with the sticker’s burned design, this looks simply perfect: the horseshoe looks as if it’s carved from red-hot metal, adding authenticity to the autograph. Maybe biguzera created not just an autograph, but a real Texas talisman that will bring luck to anyone who decides to decorate their weapon with it. Many players won’t mind “hanging a horseshoe for luck,” so it’s not excluded that this sticker might end up marked as “high demand.”
Sticker | spooke | Austin 2025
OG player spooke decided to add some cuteness to his autograph. He turned the two letters “OO” into the eyes of a little ghost, and the result turned out charming! It’s funny that spooke translates as “spooky” and when reading this nickname you’d hardly expect to see such a cute implementation. This sticker is an example of how an autograph can be both simple and memorable. spooke’s ghost seems to wink at players, adding a note of playfulness to the serious world of esports.
Sticker | s1ren | Austin 2025
Russian esports player s1ren from BetBoom made a real breakthrough by writing his nickname in Russian. No one had done anything like this before, although last year Senzu from The Mongolz left a signature in Cyrillic, but that was more of an original approach rather than a linguistic nuance. s1ren’s autograph looks as if it was carelessly written by hand in a school notebook, and this exact vibe makes it unique. By transferring this inscription to your weapon in CS2, you’ll add a note of nostalgia and warmth of spring school days to your skin, when you’re sitting in class and outside the window a tree is blooming and smells incredibly like lilac.
Sticker | VINI | Austin 2025
Brazilian VINI from Imperial has long delighted fans with his creative autographs, and even VALVE’s new rules requiring stickers to be drawn by hand didn’t stop him. This time VINI encoded his nickname in Morse code, and the bold font added expressiveness to the design. VINI once again proved that his imagination knows no bounds, and his autographs are always something more than just a signature. For collectors and lovers of unusual crafts, this is another find.
Sticker | donk | Austin 2025
The best player of 2025, donk from Team Spirit, decided to make his sticker something meaningful and symbolic. Under his nickname he added another one – “lo9d”, which belongs to the team’s manager. This gesture became part of an unexpected trend at this Major: many players decided to mention their coaches or loved ones, which adds soulfulness to the autographs. However, there’s suspicion that developers might ban this in the future to avoid speculation with selling spots on stickers from tier-3 players. So we’re enjoying these “beautiful gestures” while we have the opportunity.
