Best CS2 player and team stickers at the Shanghai Major

The Counter-Strike 2 Shanghai Major has arrived and with it, the all-important release of player and team stickers! Capsules containing team and player autographs are now available from the main menu, and this year there are some awesome designs.

Here's a few of our favorite Shanghai Major CS2 stickers from the capsules, from FlyQuest's striking green "Q" to a Greek mythological figure residing in one player's design!

Alright I might be a bit biased as an Aussie, but single-letter stickers have been all the rage since the last sticker update. CS2 players are combining these single-letter logos with others to create custom words, and now we've got ourselves a Q to use!

It's also green, quite a rarity among team logos. Expect this to be a very popular (and thus, a more expensive) sticker.

You can't beat a classic, and it doesn't get much cleaner than this year's Na'Vi sticker. It's devoid of any text below the logo, and the holographic version includes smaller Na'Vi logos inside of it!

The 3DMAX logo is designed to look like a devil with horns. While it makes sense in red, the gold-and-grey reflective effect of the gold version of the sticker can't be beaten. Like with most of the stickers, a couple of scrapes will remove the Shanghai 2024 text below if needed!

I mean, a star sticker is a star sticker. Don't you want to add stars to your weapons?

This year's Complexity sticker is even cooler in holo — there are stars within the star! The purple and blue iridescent effect makes this a complete option great on darker skins.

Abstract icons like this Rare Atom logo look great on darker skins, too. Expect the Rare Atom sticker (particularly its gold variant) to be expensive as the team is solely representing host nation China and thus will be a popular one!

For those who remember Copenhagen Flames and their flame icon sticker, we've got yet another flame sticker coming with the Shanghai Major.

Passion UA, who upset some big teams on the way to qualification, will have their sticker in-game, and it's one of the best-looking stickers out there. The white, grey, and yellow blend perfectly together — definitely one to hold!

Finally, I'm going with the Major organizer stickers. The Perfect World text and logo below can be scratched away, leaving a cool little robot head with glowing eyes.

The glitter variant is my favorite, but the gold version sees the blue eyes switched out for happy eyes. It's rare for an organizer sticker to look so clean! It'll also be cheap, so if you're a robot fan, stack up on these!

Who knew ztr stood for Zero T Rounds? We do now thanks to the GamerLegion player submitting this as a sticker. It's a great pick to throw on a weapon to use, particularly on the CT side to show the enemy you mean business on defence.

The sticker says "sex." Need I say more? This isn't the first "Sexter" sticker from Australian player Dexter, but with the bold green backdrop of the FlyQuest logo, it definitely stands out.

Remember: a few scratches and only the signature will remain!

Passion UA's s-chilla went all-out on his design, replacing the hyphen in his name with a cliff face and a motif of Sisyphus pushing his boulder up the hill.

It's an awesome design and a homage to the path s-chilla and the Passion UA squad has taken to reach the lofty heights of a CS2 major. The boulder and cliff look better in foil or glitter, too!

Chinese fans will be snapping up the FURIA team's stickers with the squad opting to include Mandarin symbols in their signatures.

These are likely to be some of the most expensive stickers in the collection and look stunning in gold. Good luck if you're hunting these, and definitely hold onto them for a little value!

Like dexter's "sex" sticker, this one feels very obvious. Just slap the word "luxury" on your skin, courtesy of paiN player lux.

Reserved for super-expensive skins only (or make others laugh by putting five on a Sand Dune P250).

JL said before the Major he never wanted to have the same design every year, and he's outdone himself with this design, which he said was inspired by his fiancé.

The normal sticker's lines are quite thick, so I suggest going for the glitter, foil, or gold version if possible!

We're closing out with what could be the most expensive sticker down the line. If Donk maintains his trajectory as a player, he's going to become a hall of fame-level rifler in no time.

His popularity is already nigh unmatched, and the term "donked" has become common vernacular in CS2 lexicon already. Slap a "donked" sticker on your AK-47, or better yet, hold onto the sticker as it may be worth a fortune once he locks in a few major titles!

That's all for now! The Shanghai Major begins on November 30 — stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest.
