Today we're shipping the Ranked Series of Cologne 2026 Major stickers--new stickers that indicate a team's final standing in the design. As with all items in the Cologne 2026 Shop, 50% of the royalties support the teams, players and tournament organizer.
The original dynamic pricing system determined the relative interest in players and teams, but it didn't produce reasonable prices. So the Ranked stickers have a lower price, but with the same relationship between players and teams as the Event Series stickers (as of today's update).
Check out the new stickers and support your favorite players and teams! The Cologne 2026 Shop will be available until September 29th.
In order to have your items included in these new collections, you must agree to 
Cache has officially arrived, and replaces Overpass in the active duty map pool. Put your hard-earned strats to the test and rise through the Premier ranks in CS2's newest battlefield.
Season 5 has arrived with some explosive changes to CS2--bomb damage has been completely reworked.
Now, when the bomb detonates, an explosive wave of destruction will flow from the bombsite through the map. As before, if you're too close to the bomb when it explodes, you're toast--but the shockwave dissipates around corners and doesn't go through walls, so at a certain distance you can use your wits to survive. Or, if you're not confident your wits are up to the task, check your health bar which will flash a preview of how well you'll fare after the blast.
We sent out a call to arms recently for some new weapon and sticker collections, and the community answered! Head to the Armory, where you'll find two new weapon collections, Arabesque and Spy Tech.
Two new sticker collections, Fruits & Vegetables and Auto Racing, have also been added to the Armory.
Speaking of the CS community, there are some new maps to try. Boulder, Fachwerk, and Shelter have been added to Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch modes, while Debris and El Dorado are now available in Wingman.
Today we’re excited to release the Jackass Sticker Capsule in association with Paramount Games Studio, Jackass graphic artist Andy Jenkins, and community artist TheDanidem.
Celebrating the release of jackass: best and last, the Jackass Sticker Capsule contains 39 stickers referencing iconic Jackass moments.
Whether it’s an airhorn on a golf course or a trip down Electric Avenue, there’s something for every jackass in here; even you!
Taking on the toughest Playoff bracket in Major history, the Falcons made a triumphant statement at the IEM Cologne 2026 Major.
Facing the defending Major Champions in the Quarterfinals, Falcons defeated Vitality 2-1, with each map taking 24 rounds to determine a winner. The Semifinals weren't any easier, where the Falcons met Team Spirit in a best of three that saw two maps go to Overtime. In the end, the Falcons outlasted Team Spirit 16:12 on Dust II, taking the series 2-1 and booking their first appearance in the Grand Finals.
In the Grand Finals the Falcons left no doubt, defeating FURIA 3-0 to claim the organization's first Major Championship.
To celebrate the closing of the Cologne Major, new items are available in the Major Shop: the IEM Cologne 2026 Champions Autograph stickers (featuring Paper, Holo, Foil, and Gold autographs from Falcons players), and IEM Cologne 2026 Highlight Charms (featuring 10 highlights for each of the six stages of the Cologne 2026 Major, and the Falcons' trophy-lifting moment.)
Congratulations to the Falcons, champions of the Cathedral and champions of the IEM Cologne 2026 Major!
Following one of the most unforgettable days in Major playoff history, Saturday's Semifinals left two teams standing in pursuit of a Major Championship.
After losing the opening map of their Playoffs, FURIA have been unbeaten, rallying back against 9z Team to win 2-1 in the Quarterfinals and taking down Aurora Gaming 2-0 in the Semifinals to reach the Grand Finals for the first time in the organization's history.
Team Falcons took down the world's #1 team, Team Vitality, 2-1 in the Quarterfinals. A day later, they punched their ticket to the Grand Finals by defeating Team Spirit 2-1 in dramatic fashion, needing Overtime in the third map. This is Team Falcons first Major Championship appearance.
Coverage of the best of five Grand Finals between FURIA and Team Falcons begins with the opening ceremony at 16:45 CEST (10:45AM EDT). Don't miss a moment!
And with the Major coming to a close, team and player stickers are still available, with 50% of tournament item sales being shared with the tournament organizer, teams, and players.
Good luck to both teams!
For the second consecutive Major, FURIA and Team Spirit finished Stage III with perfect 3-0 records. Aurora, Falcons, and Vitality finished 3-1, and 9z Team, BetBoom, and G2 Esports advanced with 3-2 records.
The Lanxess Arena will host the Playoffs, beginning with Thursday's Quarterfinals matchups:
The Major Shop has undergone some major renovation--now you can directly get any sticker you want (at prices set by demand). Holo Furia logo? You got it. Foil Donk autograph? No problem.
You can purchase tokens and redeem them for any sticker you want. The prices of stickers will depend on relative demand (when lots of players buy a particular sticker, its price goes up and other sticker prices go down), but if you're worried that a sticker might drop in price right after you buy it, we've got you covered. If a sticker price drops by more than 25 tokens within 24 hours of your purchase you'll get a refund of tokens for the total difference.
Details about the Major Shop renovation and how this all works can be found in the FAQ below.
What will you bring to the signing session? Now you can craft your own Souvenir! Take any normal or Souvenir quality weapon in your inventory and select a completed match and one of the players. You'll get your weapon back in Souvenir quality with gold team, autograph, and map stickers applied.
Purchase and activate a Cologne 2026 Viewer Pass, and you'll receive a 2026 Cologne Major Challenge Coin. Play the Pick'Em Challenge to upgrade your Challenge Coin from Bronze to Silver, Gold, or Diamond and with each upgrade you'll get 300 tokens that you can redeem for the stickers or souvenirs of your choice.
