Starladder Budapest Major 2025 Stickers
The Budapest Major sticker collection (or as many players casually call them, “Budpast Stickers”) arrives with a mix of brand-new art styles, crisp team logos, player autographs, and event-themed designs that make this drop stand out.
Here’s everything included:
Team Logo Stickers
Every participating team in the Budapest Major has its own event-themed logo sticker. These are available in:
- Standard
- Holo
- Foil
- Gold
Collectors love these because team performance can spike demand—even if you’re just flexing them on your rifle or adding to a long-term portfolio.
If you’re building a clean loadout for Mirage or Dust 2, these team logos can look incredible with specific skins. You can check map callouts here if you’re working on role-based loadouts:
Player Autograph Stickers
Every pro playing in the Major gets an autograph sticker — one of the most popular categories among collectors.
These come in:
- Standard
- Holo
- Gold
Many CS2 fans buy autographs of their favorite players, similar to how they copy their settings. If you’re into pro-settings content, you can explore some of your existing guides like:
Autographs also tend to increase in value if a player performs really well.
Event Stickers (Budpast Stickers)
These include the special “Budapest Major 2025” event logo designs.
They’re perfect for themed loadouts, trade-ups, and collectors who like maintaining a Major sticker collection year over year.

Budapest Sticker Capsules & Budpast Packs
The Budapest Major comes with several sticker capsules and souvenir packs — commonly referred to by the community as “Budpast Packs.”
These include:
Team Sticker Capsules
Each capsule contains team logo stickers in all rarity tiers.
Player Autograph Capsules
These feature signatures for every pro participating in the event.
Souvenir Packs
Souvenir items tied to iconic Major matches. These often contain souvenir weapon skins, event stickers, and unique finishes.
Event Sticker Packs
These contain Budapest-branded stickers and charmable designs that look incredible on both weapons and slabs.
Collectors often buy these early since prices can spike once the Major ends.
Budapest Major 2025 Viewer Pass (What’s Inside)
The Viewer Pass is optional — but if you enjoy collecting, customizing, and following the Major hype, it’s easily worth the purchase.
Here’s what the pass includes:
Budapest Event Coin
A collectible coin that upgrades as you complete in-game missions.
Pick’Em Challenge
Predict teams and earn points to upgrade your coin and earn reward tokens.
Souvenir Tokens
These tokens can be exchanged for souvenir packs.
Many players consider this the main value of the pass because souvenir skins and stickers often appreciate in value.
Access to Exclusive Drops
Some drops and missions require the pass to earn rewards tied directly to the Budapest Major.
Extra Missions & Challenges
These add more fun and progression throughout the event.
If you play CS2 frequently, having missions tied to the event gives more goals to chase — similar to how challenges in Danger Zone or Premier help break monotony.

How to Slab Your Stickers
The Sticker Slab is the newest CS2 cosmetic feature — and honestly one of the coolest additions Valve has made.
It lets you seal any sticker into a slab, creating a 3D charm that attaches to your weapon.
This means you can showcase rare stickers without permanently applying them to a skin.
Here’s how to slab your stickers:
How to Use the Sticker Slab
1. Open Your Inventory
Go to your CS2 inventory and select the Sticker Slab tool.
2. Choose the Sticker You Want to Slab
You can slab ANY sticker — team logos, holo, gold, player autographs, event stickers.
This is especially useful for rare, expensive or low-float combinations.

3. Pay the Slab Fee
CS2 requires a small fee to seal the sticker into the slab.
4. Seal the Sticker
Once sealed, the sticker becomes a charm-like accessory you can attach to weapons.
5. Equip the Slab Like a Weapon Charm
This is the coolest part — you can show off your rare sticker on any weapon without losing it.
Important Notes About Slabbing
- Once a sticker is slabbed, it’s not consumed like traditional application.
- You can break the slab and get the sticker back — but the slab item is destroyed.
- Investors typically slab rare stickers only for display, not for resale.
