CS2 Update Brings IEM Cologne Major 2026 Champions Autographs and Highlight Charms: How to Get and More
To commemorate Team Falcons' triumph over FURIA at the IEM Cologne Major 2026, Valve has released the Champions Autograph stickers and Highlight Charm to CS2. Available now in the in-game Major shop, these can be bought using the Cologne 2026 tokens.
In addition to this, celebrating magixx's insane 1v4 clutch against G2 in the Quarterfinals, Valve has added a small tribute to Team Spirit's IGL to the spot in Mirage's kitchen where he pulled off the insane clutch.
This is the first time Valve has added a tribute to a player in CS2. They have also removed the previous references they had added in CS:GO.
Now, let's get into the meat and the potatoes of the update — the autographs and highlight charms.
IEM Cologne Major 2026 Champions Autograph
The first set of commemorative items for Team Falcons is the Champions Autographs. These include individual player champion autographs for the five registered players:
Karrigan was registered as a sub for Team Falcons, meaning he will not receive any in-game commemoration for the Major (incl. In-game trophy or stickers).
These champion stickers are available in the following four qualities:
- Paper
- Holo
- Foil
- Gold
To buy the Champions Autograph:
- Navigate to the In-game Major hub
- Navigate and select ‘Visit the Shop’
