CSGO players slam Valve\u2019s \u201cstupid\u201d changes to PGL Major Stockholm stickers ValveCSGO players and stars alike are up in arms over Valve\u2019s decision to make PGL Major Stockholm signature stickers limited to those who reach the top-eight playoffs, making it harder for pros to be immortalized in the game. CSGO players and fans around the world have been eagerly waiting for the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 signature stickers to release. They finally got their wish in a patch that went live on October 21, and players quickly rushed in to see what goodies were waiting for them in the Major update. However, it confirmed what some feared \u2014 signature stickers are only available to players in teams who make the quarterfinals, semifinals, and grand finals. 2021 PGL “”Finalists”” signature stickers will include signatures from the following teams: \u2013Quarterfinalists \u2013Semifinalists \u2013Grand Finalists\u2014 CS2 (@CounterStrike) October 22, 2021 The community isn\u2019t impressed with their decision, dubbing it \u201cstupid.\u201d They claimed it doesn\u2019t account for the player\u2019s best interests, considering how hard they work and how much they look forward to being immortalized with these stickers. \u201cSo sad for the 60 players who won\u2019t all get their signature stickers in the game for the first time,\u201c wrote one fan. Another wrote, \u201cPretty f**ked up. These players work hard and look forward to these stickers.\u201d The consensus is it\u2019s \u201cnot the move\u201d and seems \u201charsh\u201d for players who will miss out considering only eight teams can make it far enough to receive stickers. It\u2019s not only fans who have been voicing their opinions, either. Professional players are doing it, too. FaZe Clan\u2019s Russel \u2018Twistzz\u2019 van Dulken was one of the first to speak out against it, and he didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cHave to say that I disagree with the changes that happened for this major,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been two years since the last one, and everyone was looking forward to the normal things a major brings, stickers for all qualified players and souvenir signature drops.\u201d \u201cI would be more okay with this if they made this change after the 2020 RMR stickers, so players understood before qualifying. Obviously, for the many new players in the major, it\u2019s disappointing to know that they haven\u2019t secured in-game player signatures yet.\u201d I would be more okay with this if they made this change after the 2020 RMR stickers so players understood before qualifying.

Alistair was the first to speak up, stating, \u201cJust got to make top 8 then I guess.\u201d Just gotta make top 8 then I guess https:\/\/t.co\/zr1rsKLsfv \u2014 alistair (@aliStair_CS) October 22, 2021 Magisk meanwhile hypothesized that Valve had simply \u201cforgotten\u201d PGL Major Stockholm was starting soon, and so had rushed to release some news before the event began. \u201cHonestly feels a little like they forgot the Major was starting this soon,\u201d he said. \u201cDoesn\u2019t make sense to make it playoffs stickers at this Major, so many people have looked forward to their sticker and simply not get any now. \u201cI could understand it, if this was communicated way before.\u201d Honestly feels a little like they forgot the Major was starting this soon.

Twistzz believes others will be disappointed, too. He added, \u201cFeeling bad for the players that wake up and read the update.\u201d Backlash over the decision is building by the minute. Valve hasn\u2019t commented on it yet; we\u2019ll update this article with more information if they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
