Valve announced the Cologne 2026 Ranked Series for Counter-Strike 2, a new set of Major stickers that will show each team’s final tournament placement in the sticker design. The announcement appeared in a Steam update from Valve.
The Ranked Series will use lower prices than the original dynamic pricing system. Valve said that system reflected the relative interest in individual players and teams, but did not result in reasonable prices for the stickers.
Although the cost will be lower, the relationship between player and team prices will remain aligned with the Cologne 2026 Event Series as of the update. That gives the new stickers a consistent pricing structure while adding the final-standing information to their designs.
Cologne 2026 Shop Details
As with the other items in the Cologne 2026 Shop, 50% of royalties from the Ranked Series will support the participating teams, players, and tournament organizer. The shop will remain available until September 29, 2026.
The new designs give fans another way to support their favorite competitors while marking how teams finished at the Major. Tell us which Cologne 2026 sticker designs you plan to pick up in the comments, and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram.
