All CS2 Major Budapdest Team Stickers Ranked

44 views 11 mins read

This Major’s main visual “feature” is the embroidered stickers: each team logo appears as if stitched onto a shield, surrounded by a massive Budapest-style wreath. We completely ignore all paper/holo/gold versions and autographs — the ranking below covers only embroidered logos you’ve provided.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Readability & Contrast: How clearly the logo stands out on the shield and against the colorful wreath; whether textures or color choices reduce clarity.
  • Color Synergy: How well the team’s palette works with the Budapest neon-purple wreath; whether it creates harmony or looks like a dull “gray square in a gray frame.”
  • Identity & Uniqueness: Does the sticker instantly identify the team? Does it have personality or does the design get lost among 40+ others?
  • Skin Compatibility: How well the sticker fits on black/metallic/colorful weapon finishes; whether it’s universal or overly picky about backgrounds.

Tier System

  • S-tier — peak design. Maximum readability, strong identity, universally good on skins, feels like an instant classic.
  • A-tier — very strong, minor drawbacks (contrast issues, busy details, color quirks) keep it from S-tier.
  • B-tier — good, but lacks “wow.” Usable, but unlikely to become long-term icons.
  • C-tier — mediocre or unfinished: unclear shapes, poor color balance, outdated feel.
  • D-tier — weak: messy, flat, or looks like a local LAN sticker from 2016, not a Major.

Sticker Ratings

C-tier

1) The Huns — Embroidered

A red square emblem with abstract typography — unique but far less universal than most designs. Recognition is low and the collector base is niche. Growth potential relies primarily on surprise upsets or storyline moments.

B-tier

2) paiN Gaming — Embroidered

The dark gray logo with a red accent looks mature and minimalist, though less contrasty than top-tier designs. The team is a consistent presence at big events and widely loved in Brazil. A solid mid-term investment.

3) 3DMAX — Embroidered

A bright, aggressive red logo with thick lines that works well with stitched texture. Strong visuals, but the brand is smaller. Growth potential is moderate: loyal fanbase exists, but the audience is limited.

4) MIBR — Embroidered

A dark minimalist emblem — clean and restrained, but not very contrast-heavy. MIBR remain a Brazilian legacy brand, but fan engagement has decreased. Growth potential is moderate.

5) PARIVISION — Embroidered

A turquoise, angular, modern-looking logo that is stylish but less instantly recognizable. The team is new and the brand is still forming. Growth depends heavily on performance and exposure.

6) RED Canids — Embroidered

A bright and highly decorative embroidered sticker with a colorful stitched frame, it stands out thanks to its unique style and strong red-white contrast. However, despite its visual appeal, the market outlook is limited: the team is unlikely to make a deep run in Budapest, meaning demand may remain mostly within the local Brazilian fanbase. The design is eye-catching, but long-term growth remains doubtful.

A-tier

7) Falcons — Embroidered

The turquoise Falcons logo appears “softer” than FURIA or Vitality due to slightly lower contrast, but embroidery enhances the shape, making it look very fabric-like and lively. It works well on dark and neutral skins, though slightly less universal compared to S-tier designs. After major roster upgrades, Falcons have become one of the most dangerous tier-one projects, regularly defeating top teams. In market terms, the potential is high: a strong showing in Budapest could significantly increase the sticker’s value.

8) MOUZ — Embroidered

The MOUZ logo is simple but very effective thanks to its bright red color and thick silhouette that doesn’t “break” under stitching. Its versatility is high — it works on both dark and bright skins. The team is a stable presence in European tier one with disciplined play. Growth-wise: strong brand + consistent results + good design = reliable long-term value.

9) Team Spirit — Embroidered

The white Spirit dragon is one of the most beautiful silhouettes in the capsule: smooth lines, minimal noise, a premium look. There’s a small loss of contrast compared to FURIA, but overall the design is very strong. The team is going through fluctuations, but the Spirit brand remains one of the most powerful in Eastern Europe. Growth potential remains high because brand > form.

10) Aurora — Embroidered

Aurora’s bright turquoise logo with razor-sharp edges and a large scale looks expensive and highly recognizable in embroidery. The team became a tier-one contender in 2025, gaining huge momentum. Because the design, hype, and results all work together, the growth potential is extremely high.

11) Team Liquid — Embroidered

The white Liquid horse is one of the cleanest designs in the entire capsule. Strong contrast, large silhouette, and a very premium look on dark backgrounds — especially blue and black skins. Despite roster changes, Liquid remain an NA legend with a massive global fanbase. High growth potential due to universal design + historic brand.

12) Astralis — Embroidered

The red Astralis star is pure CS iconography and translates perfectly into embroidered texture: sharp angles, high readability, instantly recognizable. Even during weaker years, Astralis remain a giant of European CS with a loyal fanbase. Their stickers always see demand — and this one will be no exception.

13) TYLOO — Embroidered

One of Asia’s most iconic logos. The embroidered red dragon is sharp, aggressive, and very detailed. It looks great on dark skins and carries strong cultural recognition. TYLOO have massive regional support and the Chinese market is one of the strongest in CS. Growth potential: high.

14) Passion UA — Embroidered

The blue-yellow flame looks unique: sharp edges, clear silhouette, excellent contrast. One of the most distinctive designs in the capsule. Passion UA are gaining popularity extremely quickly in Ukraine and Europe. The combination of strong visuals and rising national support ensures high demand.

15) B8 — Embroidered

The clean white logo with a strong outline is very clear and attractive. Works on many skins thanks to its universal color. B8 are Ukraine’s second-biggest brand with a rapidly growing fanbase. Design + brand ascent = strong future potential.

16) GamerLegion — Embroidered

The blue-and-white sporty logo looks clean and widely compatible across weapons. GL have a long history of Major playoff appearances and good European recognition. Market demand is stable, with solid upside if they perform well.

17) fnatic — Embroidered

The classic orange fnatic logo looks dense and readable in embroidery. It is universal and recognizable, though it cannot compete with the more complex S-tier shapes. The brand remains highly respected, ensuring consistent demand.

18) Imperial — Embroidered

A bright green geometric logo with very sharp edges — one of the most high-contrast designs in the capsule. Imperial remain one of Brazil’s most iconic brands with a huge regional fanbase. Demand is strong due to both design and brand power.

19) FlyQuest — Embroidered

A large green emblem with a darker central leaf creates a balanced, clean look. Bright but not overwhelming. FlyQuest are building a new era for NA CS, and their long-term trajectory could drive sticker growth if LAN results stabilize.

20) Lynn Vision — Embroidered

The golden lion looks powerful and expensive, with embroidery giving the emblem additional mass. One of the best animal-themed designs in the capsule. Lynn Vision are one of China’s flagship teams, and demand from Asian players ensures long-term value.

21) M80 — Embroidered

The neon-yellow “M80” symbol is loud, bold, and extremely high-contrast. It looks fantastic on dark or pink skins — classic “flashy NA design.” M80 are a top upset team, and their popularity makes the sticker’s growth potential medium-high.

22) NRG — Embroidered

The bright red text logo is minimalistic, clean, and very contrast-rich. It reads perfectly in embroidery. NRG’s return to CS created a wave of nostalgia-driven hype in NA. A strong long-term collector’s item.

23) Rare Atom — Embroidered

The pastel lavender-pink logo is one of the most beautiful designs in the entire capsule. Soft colors look fantastic in embroidery, and the silhouette is unique and stylish. Rare Atom remain one of China’s leading teams. Demand is high.

S-tier

24) FURIA — Embroidered

The FURIA emblem is one of the best in the entire Budapest capsule: a white panther silhouette on a dark shield with maximum contrast and cleanliness, no unnecessary details, and excellent readability on any weapon — black, neon, or metallic. The team is the face of the 2025 Brazilian era, coming off a Chengdu victory and a streak of top-tier LAN results. FURIA’s global popularity is skyrocketing, and this sticker has exceptional investment potential: an elite team + elite design = a textbook S-tier item.

25) Vitality — Embroidered

The yellow logo appears almost glowing against the dark shield — the contrast is extreme, the shape is large and aggressive, clearly built to draw attention. On dark or pastel loadouts it blends naturally into the composition, making it one of the brightest stickers in the entire Legends capsule. Vitality remain a world-elite team with superstar ZywOo and an enormous, stable fanbase. Growth potential is very high: a top team, top image, and a visually powerful sticker.

26) The MongolZ — Embroidered

The golden helmet with thick lines looks perfect in embroidered form: weighty, aggressive, instantly recognizable. One of the strongest logos in the whole set. The MongolZ are an Asian phenomenon with massive regional support and a huge fanbase. Their form fluctuates, but their upset potential is always high. The combination of a massive design and fan-driven hype ensures long-term sticker value.

27) G2 — Embroidered

The white samurai helmet looks premium: large, clean, with a minimalist red accent. In embroidery the logo becomes even wider and “heavier.” G2 are always in the spotlight — a gigantic fanbase, star players, and consistent deep runs. The growth outlook is extremely high: the strength of the brand and the quality of the design amplify each other.

28) NAVI — Embroidered

The classic yellow NAVI logo looks extremely sharp on the dark shield: thick contours, large scale, and perfect compatibility with any weapon color. NAVI remain the biggest brand in Eastern Europe and one of the most recognized globally, with a massive international audience. Demand for NAVI stickers is always stable regardless of results. Growth potential: maximum.

29) Legacy — Embroidered

The intertwined golden emblem looks premium and luxurious — one of the most impressive logos in the entire Challengers capsule. Legacy became the major breakout of Brazilian CS in 2025 thanks to latto, dumau, n1ssim, and saadzin. The hype level is enormous, and the combination of a rising superteam and a beautiful design makes this sticker extremely promising.

30) FaZe Clan — Embroidered

The large red FaZe logo looks aggressive and clean, almost as if it was made specifically for embroidery. This is one of the loudest brands in Western esports with a disproportionately large fanbase. On the secondary market, FaZe items almost always outperform the average. Design + brand = guaranteed long-term value.

31) Ninjas in Pyjamas — Embroidered

The lemon-green NIP logo looks very premium: thick lines, strong contrast, and a highly visible silhouette. NIP are a historic brand with a massive worldwide audience. Their stickers remain consistently popular regardless of form. Growth potential is high thanks to the unique color palette and legendary tag.

32) Fluxo — Embroidered

The black-and-white FX logo with thick lines is one of the best universal embroidery designs in the entire capsule. It looks expensive on any skin. Fluxo are a strong Brazilian brand with an extremely passionate audience. Long-term growth is almost guaranteed given the strength of the Brazilian market.

Overall Verdict

The embroidered set for Budapest Major 2025 is easily one of the strongest visual lineups Valve has released in the CS2 era. The stitching effect adds weight, clarity and personality to many logos that previously felt flat — and the Budapest neon wreath ties the whole capsule into a unified artistic theme. The main winners of the collection:

  • S-tier kings: FURIA, G2, FaZe, NAVI, Fluxo, Legacy, NIP, The MongolZ
  • A-tier elite: Liquid, Falcons, Imperial, Aurora, TYLOO, B8, GamerLegion, fnatic, M80, Rare Atom,
  • Strong but niche: paiN, 3DMAX, PARIVISION, FlyQuest
  • Collector-only picks: MIBR, The Huns

The embroidered format has proven itself to be not just a gimmick, but a genuinely premium sticker type — one that looks fantastic on skins and gives many teams a “luxury patch” identity.
