Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule

The Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule is a tournament capsule of player signatures from the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. Inside is a single random sticker, drawn from a list of 160.

What's inside the capsule

These are autographs of players from the Challengers-tier teams. The list includes jottAAA, MAJ3R, Wicadia, woxic, XANTARES, Aleksib, b1t, iM, makazze, w0nderful, EliGE and NAF, among others. Signatures are laid out five players to a team.

All of these names belong to participants of the eight Challengers teams, five from each. The organizer is not on the list, only players.

The signatures were issued in paper, Embroidered, Holo and Gold variants. Multiply the number of players by four varieties and you get 160 items.

Exactly one sticker drops. Valve does not publish odds by variety, so there are no percentages. With a pool this big, one specific player rarely comes up.

Where the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule came from

The capsule came out for the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. Challengers is a team seeding tier, and each of the eight teams has five signatures here. The remaining tiers got capsules of their own.

Valve passed half of the revenue to the organizer, teams and players. Since the Cologne 2026 major, no tournament capsules have been issued: a token store took their place. Capsules released earlier keep trading.

Opening the capsule

The signature of any of the forty players from the eight Challengers teams can drop. A signature stays handwritten, and the variety changes only the coating.

No key and no extra payments: the capsule opens on its own. The result is one random signature out of 160.

A signature goes on a firearm, and five slots are set aside for it. The player picks the placement and the rotation. Knives and gloves have no slots.

Signature wear is added by hand and cannot be taken off. On the last step the signature is wiped from the weapon completely. The weapon's float stays as it was.

The capsule has no Souvenir version, StatTrak, wears or trade-up contract.

What the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule costs

The price comes from what is inside. Paper and Embroidered signatures are cheap, Holo and Gold noticeably pricier, and differences between players add spread. A pool of 160 items is wide, and the result is unpredictable.

Valve does not publish odds, and a closed issue makes the capsule calmer than a single sticker: openings take copies out of circulation, and none are added. Buy a capsule like this out of interest in the players' signatures. In CS2, stickers give no gameplay advantage.
