The Most Beautiful Autographs of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: Top 10 Player Stickers
The developers have finally added memorabilia for the Shanghai Major, though not much has changed compared to previous events. The main sticker designs have undergone minor updates, particularly in the autographs. Player signatures now stand out more with bold lines and visible depth in the shiny or holographic versions. The most significant innovation from Valve is that players must physically sign their autographs on paper, which are then transferred to the stickers. The goal is to make the stickers as authentic as possible, as if you met the player in person and got their signature.
There were concerns that this change might limit creativity, but those fears were unfounded. The new autographs showcase originality and charm. Let’s dive into some of the standout designs from the Shanghai Major 2024 player stickers!
Sticker | ChildKing | Shanghai 2024
We begin with the Chinese player from Rare Atom, who delighted local fans by qualifying for the Opening Stage and earning coveted stickers. The bright purple hues look fantastic, even in the standard version, and complement ChildKing’s graffiti-style autograph. The design features classic graffiti elements like crowns, hearts, arrows, and decorative swirls. It feels as though the autograph was spray-painted on a wall rather than drawn on paper—a nod to the team’s practice room walls, perhaps.
Sticker | KSCERATO | Shanghai 2024
Next, we stay in China but shift focus to Brazilian sharpshooter KSCERATO from FURIA. As a tribute to Chinese fans, KSCERATO replaced his usual autograph with Chinese characters. He used “卡神” (K-GOD), a nickname often used by Chinese fans to refer to him. Another popular phrase they associate with him is: “你根本拼不过卡斯瑞托” (“You’ll never beat KSCERATO”), which reflects his dominance. This creative homage is sure to resonate with Perfect World users.
Sticker | FalleN | Shanghai 2024
FalleN, the legendary Brazilian player and teammate of KSCERATO, took a similar approach. Above his name, he added the Chinese characters “教父,” which mean “Godfather.” This nickname is recognized worldwide and pays respect to his Chinese fanbase. While less striking than KSCERATO’s design, FalleN’s sticker carries equal symbolic weight.
Sticker | BoombI4 | Shanghai 2024
The sticker of Russian captain BoombI4 of Cloud9 is deeply symbolic. Known for his rollercoaster career of highs and lows, his autograph reflects his resilience. Featuring an infinity symbol paired with the word “4ever,” the design is a tribute to his perseverance and a reminder of his significance in the Counter-Strike community.
Sticker | dexter | Shanghai 2024
This sticker has already been labeled a future classic, reminiscent of DickStacy’s infamous “Dick” autograph from Katowice 2019. Dexter, however, opted for a bold move by simply writing “Sex” instead of his signature. This cheeky design has sparked excitement, with fans eager to see the crafting possibilities. It’s destined to become a sought-after collector’s item.
Sticker | VINI | Shanghai 2024
Brazilian player VINI consistently delivers original autograph designs, and 2024 is no exception. His Shanghai version features a simple yet clever transformation of his name into a walrus illustration. This whimsical creativity earns him a spot among the best. VINI’s dedication to unique stickers sets a high bar for others to follow.
Sticker | jL | Shanghai 2024
NAVI’s star player jL shares VINI’s commitment to originality, ensuring each autograph is unique. This year, he revived an unused concept from a previous Major: two intertwined letters forming either a car’s outline or a ghostly figure. The minimalist yet charming design is bound to feature prominently in custom crafts.
Sticker | frozen | Shanghai 2024
Frozen, a young talent from FaZe Clan, went for a more classic yet conceptual approach. He replaced a letter in his name with an ice cube, creating a sleek and thematic design. If Valve ever replaces stickers with charms, this concept would translate beautifully into a keychain.
Sticker | s-chilla | Shanghai 2024
S-chilla of Passion UA impressed fans with a simple yet thoughtful design. He transformed the hyphen in his name into a tiny figure rolling a boulder uphill—a symbol of the immense effort required to earn a Major autograph. The ironic contrast with his nickname (“chill guy of S-tier”) makes the design even more memorable.
Sticker | Senzu | Shanghai 2024
Finally, we have Senzu, a Mongolian player whose sticker stands out for its use of Cyrillic characters. Instead of a typical nickname, he included his initials, possibly replicating his actual signature. This forward-thinking design aligns with Valve’s push for authentic player autographs.
This Major marks the first time that stickers are subject to a seven-day trade ban after being unboxed. As a result, they’ll only appear on the marketplace during the Elimination Stage. It’ll be fascinating to see the initial prices for these unique autographs!
