On May 4, 2022, Valve released new CS GO stickers in honor of the teams participating in the major, which took place in the Belgian city of Antwerp. This is the latest official collection of stickers released at the time of writing.
The May release had two features. Firstly, the developers decided not to limit themselves only to teams that reached the playoff stage, but made stickers for all 24 teams. Secondly, for the first time in the history of the game, sparkles or Glitter were used to design stickers. Old design styles were not forgotten. New CS GO 2022 stickers, released for the Antwerp Major, were made in the already familiar options:
Gold (a characteristic feature - glare appears when inspecting a weapon).
Regular.
Holographic (when examining the gun, the sticker changes color).
Why are stickers needed?
Players purchase stickers for one of three main purposes: decorating their arsenal with a fashionable item for fun or to show off; collecting; investing in stickers in order to earn money (investment).
Based on their goal, gamers evaluate new CS GO stickers and select the appropriate ones.
Therefore, someone who wants to customize their weapon and show off it to their friends will look, first of all, at the popularity of a particular sticker and the possibilities of their budget. Investors evaluate the commercial potential of the sticker, i.e. its rarity, quality, association with major tournaments or top players to understand if, when and by how much it will increase in value. As for collectors, they are often not so concerned about the best CS GO 2022 stickers. For them, it is much more important to collect all the stickers dedicated to a specific player or event in the world of Counter Strike, and it does not matter when this event took place and whether the gamer went into inactivity or continues to actively perform.
Expensive and cheap stickers from the Antwerp Major
The most expensive new CS GO 2022 sticker was the autograph of m0NESY (Ilya Osipov) from the G2 Esports team, made in gold style (RUB 10,377).
It is clear that Monesy is being closely watched at the moment, as analysts consider him the most promising young player. The CS GO crowd, apparently, thinks the same thing, so they quickly buy up his autographs in the hope that they will increase in price even more.
As for professional players from the CIS territory who participated in the major in Antwerp, the following stickers are highly rated:
Golden autograph of Simple (Alexander Kostylev) from Navi, which is now estimated at around 3 850 rubles.
Golden autograph of Jame (Jamie Ali) from the Outsiders team (as Virtus Pro is now called) worth 2 116 rubles.
Golden autograph b1t (Valery Vakhovsky) from Natus Vincere with a price tag of 1 116 rubles.
At the opposite end of the price scale, new CS GO stickers from the Antwerp Major, made in the glitter style and owned by players such as bLitz (Byambasuren Garidmagnai from IHC), Magisk (Emil Reif from Team Vitality) and apEX (Dan Madesclair from Team Vitality). Their autographs cost only 58 kopecks.
Where to invest?
We will only talk about the new CS GO 2022 stickers, which were released by the developers of Counter Strike for the Antwerp major. Let's figure out whether they are worth it. invest.
Before the last major, a unique situation arose that had not been seen in the CS GO world for a long time. Russian teams Gambit (supposed to play at the major as Players), which later moved under the banner of Cloud9, and Outsiders (Virtus Pro) were not allowed to compete under the original name of their brand due to well-known Ukrainian events. But Valve released special new CS stickers for them. GO in major.
I now remember how IBUYPOWER was banned at Katowice 2014, and now their sticker is among the most expensive. Basically, the same ban happened to Gambit and Outsiders, only on a political basis. Perhaps, if teams in the future get hyped up on something or win a major tournament, then their Antwerp stickers may immediately skyrocket in price. Gambit, who is now Cloud9, is certainly capable of this. So, without fanaticism and at a low price, you can buy 1-2 new CS GO stickers for these teams, released for the major in Antwerp, but this is definitely a risky investment for the long term.
The most expensive stickers in 2022
I can tell you absolutely for sure: among the new CS GO stickers there will not be ones that will selling at crazy prices in the near future. The market is stable in this regard, and stickers from the tournament in Katowice 2014 are still at the top price tag.
The reason for such high prices is very simple: Katowice 2014 was the first major competition for which official Valvo stickers were produced. In addition, the competition was remembered by the CS GO community for the scandals associated with IBUYPOWER (lost the match in the final) and Titan (one of the players was caught cheating).
Although the hype for the events of 2014 has long passed, prices continue to remain at a high level and, apparently, have no plans to decline. An IBUYPOWER sticker from those times costs $60,000, and a Titan sticker – 51 935 dollars. The best CS GO 2022 stickers can only dream of such a price tag.
