The Brazilian esports giant is one of many teams feeling the financial fallout, but its CEO says the damage could have been far worse.<\/p>\n<p>Sticker sales have long been a key income source for CS2 organisations, tied directly to Valve\u2019s Major tournaments. When that revenue suddenly dried up, it exposed just how dependent some teams had become on it, and how painful the drop would be once it disappeared.<\/p>\n<h2>How the New Sticker System Splits the Money<\/h2>\n<p>The revenue drop stems from Valve\u2019s overhaul of the Major sticker system, which began at IEM Cologne 2026. Valve replaced random sticker capsules with a token shop, where fans pay a set price for the exact sticker they want.<\/p>\n<p>Valve still keeps the overall split at 50\/50 with the ecosystem. But how that half gets divided has changed. Organisers now take a fixed 5%, while the remaining 45% is split among the 32 qualifying teams based on their Valve Regional Standings rank and how far they advance, not on sticker sales tied to their name. Valve also now mandates an automatic 50\/50 split between each organisation and its players, replacing individually negotiated deals.<\/p>\n<p>The impact has been steep. A team with a similar result earned around $600,000 in sticker revenue at the previous Major in Budapest, but only about $120,000 at Cologne, a drop of nearly 90%. That\u2019s the backdrop behind Akkari\u2019s comments on why even a well-sponsored organisation like FURIA felt the hit.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-vrs-analyst-proposes-fix-for-vrs-region-swapping\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-768x432.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-1400x788.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-768x432.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-1400x788.jpg 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-768x432.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-1400x788.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-768x432.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-1400x788.jpg 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-768x432.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ss_352666c1949ce3966bd966d6ea5a1afd532257bc.1920x1080-1400x788.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-vrs-analyst-proposes-fix-for-vrs-region-swapping\">\n                            CS2 VRS Analyst Proposes Fix for VRS Region Swapping                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A Major Source of Income Dries Up<\/h2>\n<p>CS2 Major stickers have traditionally given teams a share of sales revenue tied to in-game items sold during tournament events. For years, this system provided organisations, including those without deep sponsorship portfolios, a steady stream of income. However, that revenue has recently collapsed, and the impact has spread across the entire Counter-Strike scene.<\/p>\n<p>FURIA CEO and Co-Founder Andre Akkari, speaking to The Esports Radar, addressed the situation directly, describing it as damaging not just for individual teams but for the wider esports market.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>It hits cash flow, it hits everything. It\u2019s been very damaging for every organisation<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<h2>FURIA Feels the Impact, But Not Alone<\/h2>\n<p>Akkari explained that FURIA\u2019s broader sponsorship base, the organisation counts around twelve active sponsors, gave it some cushion compared to teams that relied almost entirely on sticker income. Still, he stressed that the situation is bad for the entire industry, including Valve itself.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>We\u2019re fortunate that FURIA has around twelve major sponsors, so proportionally we probably feel it a little less than some others. There are organisations out there with no sponsorship at all that are living off stickers. That\u2019s tragic, it\u2019s bad for the market, bad for us, bad for them, bad for everyone. I think it\u2019s even bad for Valve.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>The financial vacuum left by the sticker crash played a direct role in FURIA\u2019s recent internal changes. As a result, the organisation has already made cuts in several areas, including design, production, and social media. According to Akkari, the process is not finished.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>We will continue restructuring, we will continue changing, we will continue making major, impactful changes.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/pgl-reveals-closed-qualifier-invites-for-masters-bucharest-2026\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-768x452.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-1400x824.jpg 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-768x452.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-1400x824.jpg 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-768x452.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DSC00700-e1788452538607-1400x824.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <h3 class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/pgl-reveals-closed-qualifier-invites-for-masters-bucharest-2026\">\n                            PGL Reveals Closed Qualifier Invites for Masters Bucharest 2026                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why This Matters<\/h2>\n<p>These interview giving a rare inside look at how one of Counter-Strike\u2019s most recognisable organisations is coping with a market-wide shock. The sticker revenue crash exposes a deeper risk in CS2\u2019s esports economy: many teams built financial plans around income tied entirely to Valve\u2019s Major system, with no real safety net. FURIA\u2019s broader sponsorship base helped soften the blow, but as Akkari pointed out, teams without that cushion face a far tougher road. The situation raises real questions about how sustainable the current CS2 esports business model is going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FURIA has confirmed staff cuts across several departments after the collapse of Counter-Strike 2 Major sticker revenue hit the organisation\u2019s cash flow.
