The most unusual autographs from players at Counter-Strike majors. Top 15 best stickers for all tournaments
The community met the release of Counter-Strike 2 with a lot of criticism. But in addition to gameplay flaws and an abundance of bugs, not only ordinary players were dissatisfied, but also collectors and lovers of beautiful stickers. Now, at all majors, players can create autographs that are as close as possible to real signatures, and they must be done only by hand. In the days of CS:GO, esportsmen could show imagination and leave various references and unique drawings on stickers, as well as resort to the help of graphic designers. This opportunity gave us many unique and unusual stickers, which are now missed by a large part of the community. These stickers also have a high cost due to their uniqueness, which attracted a lot of attention from collectors and traders. In this article, we will recall 15 of the best and most unusual autographs from players at Counter-Strike majors.
15th place: GeT_RiGhT | London 2018
Price on Steam – Regular: $0.92, Foil: $7.28, Gold: $508.73
Our top is opened by a sticker of the legendary Swedish player – Christopher GeT_RiGhT Alesund. The esportsman has long since ended his career, so this factor also adds value to the sticker. The autograph itself is made in the style of a painting with the initials and nickname of the player. This would not be so interesting if not for the style of the sticker. The painting resembles the handwriting of doctors, which is very difficult to decipher for people who do not work in medicine. In addition to the painting, the sticker also has a smiley face.
14th place: Summer | Boston 2018
Steam Price – Regular: $8.46, Foil: $34.53, Gold: $1,658
Next is the sticker of the Chinese player YuLun Summer Cai, who currently plays for Rare Atom. His team has already qualified for the Asian RMR for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 through the Chinese qualifiers, so we will see a new autograph of the esportsman, but it will be done in a classic style. The presented sticker combines not only the player’s nickname, but also a drawn heart, as well as an inscription that also looks like a heart.
13th place: jdm64 | Boston 2018
Steam Price – Regular: $3.30, Foil: $16.10, Gold: $1,800

12th place: AdreN | Krakow 2017
Price on Steam – Regular: $5.78, Foil: $37, Gold: $1,500
Another sticker from a veteran of the esports scene in our selection! In 2017, Dauren AdreN Kystaubayev decided to add hieroglyphs to the sticker, which look pretty good. The fact that that major was held in Krakow, not China, adds interest to this decision.
11th place: oskar | Krakow 2017
Price on Steam – Regular: $3.54, Foil: $23, Gold: $1.244
Tomas oskar Stastny, who by the way qualified for the European RMR for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, also had an unusual autograph.

10th place: flusha | Boston 2018
Steam price – Regular: $2.58, Foil: $16.42, Gold: $1,105

9th place: ScreaM | Boston 2018
Steam price – Regular: $30.94, Foil: $107.81, Gold: $1,800

8th place: kennyS | Boston 2018
Steam price – Regular: $6.78, Foil: $41.80, Gold: $2.092
This top couldn’t do without the autograph of one of the best snipers of all time. Kenny kennyS Schrub depicted an AWP sight on the sticker, which makes the signature even more valuable for all players with a sniper rifle.
7th place: gob b | Krakow 2017
Steam price – Regular: $1.55, Foil: $22.63, Gold: $1.199
Tactics play an important role in Counter-Strike. There are not many good captains on the professional scene, and even fewer in Germany. The best German captain in CS:GO history, Fatih gob b Dayik, added a picture of a brain to his autograph, which refers to the ingenious tactics that the player came up with while playing at the professional level.
6th place: Zeus | Krakow 2017
Price on Steam – Normal: $2.39, Foil: $15.44, Gold: $675
Danylo Zeus Teslenko is also one of the best captains of all time, but, unfortunately, he has long since ended his career as an esportsman. He also gained great popularity due to his media presence, the player ran a personal YouTube channel and was known not only for playing for Natus Vincere and Gambit. The presented sticker depicts the captain’s nickname in the form of a lightning bolt, which was part of the logo of Danylo Zeus Teslenko’s personal social networks.
5th place: ropz | London 2018
Steam price – Regular: $2.54, Foil: $32.62, Gold: $811.61

Steam price – Regular: $4.08, Foil: $27.66, Gold: $486.05
Brazilian player Epitácio TACO de Melo also created a unique sticker. He decided not to go too far and made a direct reference to his nickname, drawing the letter O in the form of a taco.
3rd place: sdy | London 2018
Steam Price – Regular: $4.49, Foil: $53.87, Gold: $1.649
It’s time to move on to the most interesting stickers, and the top 3 clearly couldn’t do without one of the best autographs in the game. Viktor sdy Orudzhev’s full nickname looks like somedieyoung, and the player approached his image on the sticker with maximum creativity. It is distinguished not only by the colorful font, but also by the image of the scythe belonging to Death in the word die.
2nd place: tonyblack | London 2018
Steam Price – Regular: $3.63, Foil: $37.89, Gold: $676.48
Sometimes, a loud career and achievements are not even necessary for a sticker to be popular. Anton tonyblack Kolesnikov cannot boast of victories at major tournaments, and he has only attended three majors, but the Russian’s sticker lives a separate life and has a rather high price, because it depicts some creature that looks like a mouse in glasses.
1st place: somebody | London 2018
Price on Steam – Regular: $3.65, Foil: $21.28, Gold: $1.415
The best sticker in this selection is the creation of the Chinese HaoWen somebody Xu. He added an image of a smoke grenade with an opening smoke to his autograph.
Perhaps in the future, Valve will return to the practice of a creative approach to creating autographs and we will again see unusual stickers at one of the upcoming majors, but for now we can only remember the old days and be content with what we have now in CS2.
