Peacemaker believes Valve\u2019s new sticker system is a major blow to the CS2 economy. Teams\u2019 Major revenue has dropped significantly, making it harder for smaller organizations to fund rosters, bootcamps, and transfers.<\/p>\n
At the same time, he sees a positive side to the changes: organizations can no longer rely on simply qualifying for a Major to earn sticker money. They will now need to build competitive rosters, attract sponsors, and develop other revenue streams.<\/p>\n
Peacemaker also highlighted the chaotic results at BLAST Bounty, where several favorites were eliminated. The tournament was entertaining, but he warned that financial pressure on the tier-two scene could lead to more match-fixing and other integrity issues.<\/p>\n
