NAVI reveal rejected Major sticker for \u2018advertising\u2019 Bitcoin ValveNAVI revealed a logo design that was rejected as a PGL Stockholm Major signature sticker that looked a bit too similar to a popular cryptocurrency. Now that the star-studded CIS team has qualified for the Stockholm Major quarterfinals, everyone on the starting roster has submitted their signatures to Valve to make in-game stickers. Among NAVI\u2019s lineup is 18-year-old Valerii \u2018b1t\u2019 Vakhovskyi who submitted an entry that made a play on his in-game ID with the popular crypto, Bitcoin. Instead of a signature from the player, the mockup had Bitcoin\u2019s logo to spell out his name. But the CSGO developers didn\u2019t like the creative spin and promptly shut down the idea. NAVI PGL Major sticker change \u201cIt was B1tcoin before they didn\u2019t let it through because it was deemed an advertisement,\u201d NAVI Creative Director Alexey Kostylev said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good one,\u201d another person in the video can be heard saying. \u201cThat would be a brilliant sticker but it wasn\u2019t meant to be.\u201d Kostylev can be seen drawing up mockups to replace the rejected design before the cut-off at the time. While the club\u2019s original idea for b1t\u2019s was turned down, he\u2019ll still be able to have a signature sticker in time for the PGL Stockholm Major player capsules. CSGO Major stickers update For the first Major event in two years, Valve has changed up who gets to get a sticker for the tournament. Only players that have qualified for the playoffs will get a signature sticker. That\u2019s a stark contrast from simply having to qualify for the Major \u2014 and it was met with backlash from the CSGO community. Half of the revenue those stickers generate goes to Valve and the other goes back to the team. B1t and the rest of the PGL Stockholm playoff contenders should get their in-game content soon as the quarterfinals stage is set to kick off on November 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
