Valve released the team and player stickers for the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 on the night of May 22. In addition to that, the developer also added the Viewer Pass for the traditional Pick’Em Challenge, and surprisingly, four sticker capsules based on Warhammer 40,000 decals.

As usual, the team logos and player signatures have four distinct categories: Normal, Foil, Holo, and Gold . The Holo and Gold stickers are rarer as players prefer them over the other two.

However, the BLAST.tv Austin Major stickers are fairly different from the PGL Copenhagen Major and Perfect World Shanghai Major stickers, for example. This is because Valve added a bit of a “Texas flair”, which notice impacted ably the design of the team stickers. They resemble a belt buckle, which makes them unique.

There is a huge controversy about the stickers at the moment, though. Valve has made stickers for Legacy while BESTIA is still mounting a defense to play at the Austin Major. BESTIA claims it has secured the US visas for all players and can attend the tournament, and there are dozens of CS2 pros protesting against BLAST and Valve .

Why are the Major stickers so important?

The Major stickers play a huge part in the CS2 ecosystem, as the organizations and players make a huge profit when they qualify for the tournament. The revenue is split between Valve, the teams, and the pros.

While these numbers are usually kept secret, HLTV.org reported in 2023 that the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 stickers earnings exceeded $110 million. Although the following Majors didn’t come close to topping this amount, teams and players are as hyped as they ever have been.

Depending on where the players are based, the sticker money could change their lives forever. And, of course, it’s more than enough money for the organizations to keep investing in their CS2 roster.

How does the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Viewer Pass work?

Like in previous Majors, the Viewer Pass allows players to acquire the Major coin and upgrade it based on their Pick’Em challenge results.

Those who predict the Major results correctly to the end will upgrade it to Diamond, and those who fail along the way will get either the Bronze, Silver, or Gold finish. The BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 kicks off on June 3, so don’t forget to buy the Viewer Pass if you want to participate in the Pick’Em Challenge.

That’s not all. Buying the Viewer Pass allows players to use unlimited team graffiti for the duration of the BLAST.tv Austin Major and players also have the opportunity to earn and purchase Souvenir Tokens. These tokens redeem a skin based on a “memento from the match of your choice.”
