There's not much time left until the BLAST Paris Major – tournament starts today, May 8, which means it's time to learn more about the new stickers that Valve recently released as part of the event. As usual, these include stickers dedicated to the participating teams and players. Here's what's known about the new capsules and how to get them.
Update content
Capsules dedicated to the upcoming major were added in a patch that was added to the game on the night of May 5. In addition, fans of the game now have the option to purchase a spectator pass valid for the duration of the tournament. Its cost in the basic version will be just over 800 rubles. For a larger sum (about 1400 rubles) you can buy a pass with additional tokens, and sticker capsules cost 81 rubles each. In addition, pass holders will have access to the Pick’Em Challenge.
Sticker Capsules
The Majors has several capsules dedicated to the tournament, each containing the symbols of the teams that begin their participation with one of the stages of the tournament. For example, in the Paris 2023 Contenders sticker set, you can get symbols of teams like FORZE, Ninjas in Pyjamas and OG. Among those who will start from the higher Challengers stage – ENCE, FaZe, Team Liquid, MongolZ.
But, of course, the capsule with stickers of the teams that went straight to the Legends stage attracts the most attention of the players. They include world leaders such as NAVI, Heroic and Vitality, as well as several lesser-known bands, including 9INE and BNE.
According to many commentators, the design of the stickers is very much back to the way the stickers looked at Katowice 2014: They have no outline around the perimeter, and thanks to that will look better on many guns. Otherwise, the designs are not much different from previous majors. The stickers will be available in several options – paper, glitter, holographic and gold.
Here are a few team and player stickers to look out for – they will be a great addition to many skins and may also increase in price:
Stickers of NAVI and its members, as, among their other accomplishments, they are the only team to have played in all the majors.
A sticker signed floppy from Complexity, on which a cyber athlete hid an image of a character from Among Us.
A few more stickers whose authors added something unusual to their signatures – NAF sticker with the image of a sloth, a broken heart on a ropz sticker, a funny drawing of a chicken from siuhy,
Of course, the collectible value of the stickers will change as the tournament progresses, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.
