Shanghai 2024 Challengers Sticker Capsule

The Shanghai 2024 Challengers Sticker Capsule is a set of team stickers from the middle seeding tier. One random sticker drops out of thirty-six entries.

What's inside the capsule

The loot list has eight teams and the tournament mark: FURIA, Virtus.pro, Team Liquid, Complexity Gaming, BIG, Fnatic, The MongolZ, paiN Gaming and Perfect World.

Each logo has four versions: paper, Glitter, Holo and Gold. That works out to nine times four.

The capsule art shows a purple rim with the word Challengers and the tournament emblem. Logos are drawn around the dome. They include the orange Fnatic, the black panther of FURIA, the white bear of Virtus.pro, the horse of Team Liquid and the golden warrior of The MongolZ.

Valve does not publish the odds by finish, and they cannot be treated as equal. We have no percentages.

Where the Shanghai 2024 Challengers Sticker Capsule came from

It was sold for the 2024 Shanghai major. Challengers are the middle seeding tier: the teams did not qualify directly, as the Legends did, but did not land in the bottom group of Contenders either. It is a tier of the tournament, not a separate mechanic.

Valve gave half the revenue to the tournament organizer, the teams and the players themselves. The official split between recipients has not been confirmed.

After the Cologne 2026 major there are no tournament capsules: a token store replaced them. The old capsules keep trading.

Opening the capsule

It opens without a key, and you pay for the capsule once. Inside is exactly one sticker.

You can put it on any rifle, pistol or other firearm. Each gun has five sticker slots, and the angle and position are free to choose. Neither knives nor gloves have any use for them.

Scuffing is added only by hand and only in one direction. The last step erases the sticker from the weapon entirely. Sticker wear and gun wear are unrelated. A sticker gives no gameplay advantage in CS2: it is there for the look.

What the Shanghai 2024 Challengers Sticker Capsule costs

The gap between finishes inside this capsule is large. For FURIA from this major, the Holo version costs tens of times the paper one, and the Gold roughly twenty times.

Glitter and paper logos cost noticeably less and form the lower part of the set. It makes sense to buy the capsule for the draw itself. Opening it for money pays off only if you hit a rare finish, and then the sticker is worth noticeably more than the rest. A paper result is mostly a collector's piece.

The supply is closed. No new capsules will appear, and the offer shrinks as capsules are opened.
