StRoGo says Singapore Major will have a new sticker system

Streamer Ivan “StRoGo” Shurpatov said he has heard rumors that the sales of player stickers at PGL Major Singapore 2026 will change, Cybersport.ru reported on Oct. 31. He spoke on his stream, and Cybersport.ru cited his words from Escorenews.com.

What StRoGo said

In Russian, StRoGo said he is curious which sticker system the Major will use and that he knows for certain it will be completely new. He said a little bird had told him.

He also commented on sticker sales. In his words, capsules have been banned, and the system of buying players and teams is nonsense. He said teams and players received little money for the previous Major, and that this is why Valve is reworking the system.

Background on the sticker sales

Cybersport.ru wrote that Valve dropped sticker capsules before the IEM Cologne Major 2026. Buyers could then purchase any sticker directly.

The outlet added that HLTV.org later published an investigation. In it, representatives of the esports scene said the change had caused financial difficulties for clubs.
