Top 10 Best Autographs (Stickers) StarLadder Major Budapest 2025
With the approach of StarLadder Major Budapest 2025, VALVE has delighted the CS2 community with a fresh batch of player autographs. As always, some players really went the extra mile and prepared not just signatures, but original stories with references, humor, and cultural nuances. Therefore, we’ve selected 10 of the most unique options that stand out for their visuals, original concepts, and high potential for cool crafts. This time we won’t focus on specific sticker types because their visuals don’t differ much from each other, unlike the previous Major in Austin. Let’s concentrate on the ideas themselves and examine each one in detail!
Sticker | biguzera | Budapest 2025
The Brazilian captain of paiN Gaming decided to add a dose of humor and national flavor to his autograph. At the center of the sticker is a bright “BIG” with a glass that unambiguously hints at a beer mug – since “uzera” in his nickname sounds similar to “cerveja,” the Portuguese word for this hoppy beverage. Surrounded by a wreath of colorful roses and flowers, the design looks like a festive shield, full of energy and originality. This isn’t just a signature, but a real reference to the Brazilian lifestyle, where scale (“big”) always combines with relaxation and fun. For paiN fans, this will become the perfect attribute, and collectors will definitely add it to their inventories – after all, such creative stickers never go unnoticed.
Sticker | kyousuke | Budapest 2025
Falcons’ young talent, Maxim Lukin, burst onto the scene with a debut sticker that’s already causing heated discussion in the community. “K S K” looks like an uneven, childish signature – crooked lines, as if scribbled in a hurry, reminiscent of those times when we tortured a piece of paper in school trying to come up with our “cool” signature. The player himself has ironically joked about this on social media, warning fans: “Prepare for the worst sticker in CS history!” And that’s the beauty of it – honesty and self-irony make it special, turning it into a meme hit. For collectors, this is a chance to grab the “first” autograph of a rising star who could become a legend, and in crafts it will add humor to any weapon, especially if you’re a Falcons fan.
Sticker | lux | Budapest 2025
The captain of Brazilian organization Legacy continued the creative tradition of his compatriots by turning the nickname “Lux” into a funny smiley face with a smile made from the letters “LX”. Surrounded by a bright wreath of flowers, this design radiates positivity and style, as if inviting not only the player’s fans but all lovers of cute elements in CS2 to apply this sticker. Imagine how this smiling sticker will liven up many skins and add “soul” even to the grayest inventory. The uniqueness is that this isn’t a dry signature, but an emotional accent that easily fits into any crafts. With Legacy’s growing popularity, especially lux, who is now arguably the most “hot” captain on the pro scene, this sticker also has good chances for growth (who knows where lux will end up after the Major).
Sticker | nin9 | Budapest 2025
The Huns player chose minimalism for his sticker and simply drew a stylized Arabic numeral “9”. It would seem nothing complicated, but real power is hidden in this simplicity – the design is recognizable, laconic, and perfectly fits the context of the “nin9” nickname. For crafters, this is a universal element that will beautifully fit on any weapon, and collectors will love it for its eternal relevance.
Sticker | drop | Budapest 2025
Brazilians are on top again. This year, the main creative – VINI didn’t push through a new idea and stuck with his previous autograph, so drop took over the creative baton. The RED Canids player created a “DROP THIS!!” sticker that turns into an interactive meme right on the weapon. Imagine you pick up a gun, and the sticker “orders” you to throw it away, while the reference to the nickname “drop” makes this brilliant trolling. This isn’t just an autograph, but a “talking” element that will add humor to the gameplay. The main banger of the tournament, it will blow up the market among RED Canids fans and irony lovers – ideal for those who want their inventory to “come alive”.
Sticker | Starry | Budapest 2025
Ye Lizhi from Chinese Lynn Vision presented a sticker with a massive heart in the nickname, which always resonates with the CS audience. In the Asian region, such motifs are trending, and fans actively use them for themed crafts, adding “cuteness” to weapons. Therefore, the autograph should definitely be in demand among the local audience, knowing their love for their players and such visuals. If you’re hunting for hyped stickers, this option definitely deserves a spot in the top.
Sticker | ztr | Budapest 2025
GamerLegion’s captain decided to joke about himself by turning the nickname into the abbreviation “Zero T Rounds” – “zero rounds on T-side”. This is self-irony in its purest form, and although the sticker was already in the game, the new “embroidered” version looks like a real patch, which hasn’t been seen before. Imagine how it will perfectly fit on dark skins, adding texture and humor. For fans, this is a meme element with history, and for crafters – a fresh accent.
Sticker | rain | Budapest 2025
Pro scene legend, Norwegian Håvard Nygaard left FaZe a month before the Major, but the sticker still came out since invites were issued before his departure. Seeing this autograph with a sad smiley and a “candle” above the “i” is real drama. After all, this could be his last autograph in the game, and in the pink, melancholic design there seems to be a farewell to his beloved game and the main tournament hidden. Fans definitely see in it an era that he deserved to finish while at the tournament, not as a spectator. For the entire community, this could become a priceless piece of CS history and very many will want to become part of it, paying tribute to the game’s veteran.
Sticker | Lucky | Budapest 2025
The Frenchman from 3DMAX created a sticker that looks like a biker patch: the inscription “Lucky” with devil’s ears, a tail, and a dice. The reference to the nickname is also very good, because “luck” is like a dice roll, where to win you need to “sell your soul to the devil”. The combination of design and meaning adds mystique and unique charm. In the “embroidered” version, the texture perfectly transforms this skin into a “patch”, so we recommend taking a closer look at this version specifically. Imagine how this recognizable design will liven up your inventory, becoming a favorite among 3DMAX fans.
Sticker | kl1m | Budapest 2025
MIBR’s young sniper hid in his sticker a reference to his first coach from G2 Ares (academy roster) – “LETN1”, integrated into the letters of his nickname. Last year at BLAST Austin there were plenty of such references, but VALVE has now become stricter, allowing only the most original ideas into the game. This autograph passed the face control and now the Easter egg will be revealed to those in the know, making the autograph not just a signature, but another beautiful story.
