The IEM Cologne 2026 Major for Counter-Strike 2 is around the corner, and to celebrate, Valve has released the 2026 Cologne Major Shop, Souvenir-O-Matic, and an in-game Pick’Ems.
To start with, the 2026 Cologne Major Shop is available now, and it looks a bit different than before. Players can now purchase any sticker they want directly from the shop.
The prices for stickers will change, though. The prices for the stickers are set based on the demand for them. For example, when a lot of players buy a specific sticker, that sticker’s price will increase. Subsequently, the other stickers will fall in price.
Players are also protected a bit by this system. For example, if a price falls by more than 25 tokens in 24 hours from purchasing a sticker, then players who bought the sticker at the higher price will get a refund of the difference.
Additionally, players can craft their own Souvenir using any normal or Souvenir quality weapon. From there, they can choose from any completed match and choose one of the players.
They’ll then get the weapon back in Souvenir quality with gold stickers for the team, map, and autographs.
There will also be an in-game Pick’Ems, which players can take part in with the Cologne 2026 Viewer Pass. By purchasing the pass, players can get a 2026 Cologne Major Challenge Coin.
By playing the Pick’Em Challenge, players can upgrade their coin (going from Bronze to Silver, Gold, and then Diamond). Upgrading the coin yields 300 tokens as a reward, which can then be redeemed for stickers or souvenirs.
Each of the item sales from everything above will give 50% of the sale to the Tournament Organizer, Teams, and Players. However, the exact profits for each of them will be determined by performance.
More details on the breakdown, as well as other information about the Counter-Strike 2 IEM Cologne 2026 Major in-game celebrations, can be found in the FAQ from Valve here.
The IEM Cologne 2026 Major will start on June 18, 2026, and last until June 21, 2026.
