Kyousuke jokes his Major autograph will be “the worst sticker in history”

On October 29, 2025, Team Falcons rifler Maksim “kyousuke” Lukin teased that his upcoming CS2 Major autograph sticker might not impress. Posting in his Telegram channel, he wrote simply: “худший стикер в истории ждите‼️” — “wait for the worst sticker in history.”

Why players keep talking about signatures

Valve tightened autograph rules starting around the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, requiring players to submit simple, self-drawn signatures that resemble what they sign for fans—done on white paper with a black marker and drawable in 5–10 seconds. Valve reiterates: it “should be written by YOU,” and not be elaborate computer-generated art or fonts. 

The policy was reinforced for later events. For the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, Valve had players draw autographs in person at RMRs to avoid guideline violations that delayed previous sticker releases.

Most recently (Oct. 16, 2025), Dust2.us summarized the current CS2 sticker requirements again: hand-drawn on paper, no fonts or ornate designs, and completable in 5–10 seconds. 

Related player reactions and past incidents

Community and media widely documented rejections during the build-up to PGL Copenhagen 2024 when some pros submitted font-based or overly designed autographs. Reports highlighted that several players had to redo their signatures to comply.

Coverage at the time noted specific examples (e.g., complaints from pros like HObbit, Boombl4, jL, Perfecto, rain) about submissions being altered or declined under the stricter rules. While details varied by player and post, the underlying reason was consistent: designs were too ornate or appeared font-based. 

The quote that started today’s chatter

Kyousuke (Team Falcons), Telegram (Oct. 29, 2025): “Wait for the worst sticker in history.” (original in Russian). 

Big picture

Kyousuke’s tongue-in-cheek line taps into a long-running sticker storyline: Valve’s push for quick, authentic, player-drawn autographs. With the 5–10 second rule and in-person submissions now standard, expect simpler, less stylized signatures—sometimes to the amusement (or frustration) of fans and players alike.
