Shanghai 2024 Legends Sticker Capsule

The Shanghai 2024 Legends Sticker Capsule holds team stickers for the top seeding tier of that tournament. Each capsule gives one random sticker out of thirty-six: nine logos, each in four finishes.

What's inside the capsule

The contents are known in advance. The list has the logos of G2 Esports, Natus Vincere, Vitality, Team Spirit, MOUZ, FaZe Clan, HEROIC and 3DMAX. The ninth entry is the tournament's own mark, Perfect World.

Each logo is issued as paper, Glitter, Holo and Gold. Nine logos times four finishes make the thirty-six entries.

A single sticker comes out per capsule. Valve does not publish the odds for each finish, so there are no percentages here. Still, do not assume the odds are equal: Gold and Holo are meant to be the rare part of the set.

The capsule art is purple. A clear dome holds a gray plate with the CS2 lettering. The word Legends sits on the rim, the Shanghai tournament emblem runs along the bottom, and team logos are arranged around it.

Where the Shanghai 2024 Legends Sticker Capsule came from

It was released for the Shanghai major in 2024. Legends, Challengers and Contenders are the seeding tiers of the teams at the event, not different mechanics. Each tier had its own capsule with its own contents.

Sales revenue was split half and half: one share for the organizer, teams and players. The breakdown was never officially disclosed.

Starting with the Cologne 2026 major, Valve stopped issuing tournament capsules and replaced them with a token-based store. Capsules released earlier trade as before, but no new ones will appear.

Opening the capsule

It opens without a key, so the capsule itself is the only thing you pay for. The sticker you receive goes on any firearm, and each gun has five sticker slots.

Position and rotation are up to the player. Knives and gloves cannot take stickers.

Sticker wear is applied by hand and cannot be rolled back: scratches can be added but never removed. On the final step the sticker is gone from the weapon. The weapon's own wear is unaffected, and a sticker gives no gameplay advantage in CS2. People pay for the look and for a place in a collection.

What the Shanghai 2024 Legends Sticker Capsule costs

The spread between finishes within one logo is the main guide. For Vitality from this major, the Holo and Gold versions cost five to six times as much as the paper and Glitter ones.

Half the entries are paper and Glitter, and they hold the floor. The value in the capsule sits in the Holo and Gold versions, and reaching them takes a lottery.

You can buy the sealed capsule for a single roll, or buy a finished sticker for a specific team. The supply is closed: no new capsules will appear, and every capsule opened takes one copy out of circulation. A sealed capsule stays a bet on one draw, not a guarantee of the team you want.

Who it suits
