After various delays owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the IEM Rio Major was eventually held in October and November 2022. Defending champions FaZe Clan were knocked out by the Bad News Eagles, with the final seeing Outsiders defeat Heroic across a CSGO map pool that included Dust 2, Mirage, and Inferno.

Marking the tournament, a series of CSGO stickers was released in October. Featuring signatures from iconic players like Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyljev and Joshua ‘INS’ Potter, stickers included in the set range in price from a couple of pennies to around $90 USD (£75 GBP). It’s a lot to pay for an in-game cosmetic, though nothing compared to some of the other most expensive CSGO stickers. At the top of the charts is the Titan Holo sticker from 2014, all yours for a mere $77,000 USD (£65,000 GBP). Yes, you read that right.

Despite only being on sale for a few months, Valve and CSGO say that the Rio stickers will soon be withdrawn.
